Patent ID: 7746213

Claim:
A temperature measurement sensor, comprising: a ceramic substrate having upper and lower surfaces, the upper surface having a first contact and a second contact formed thereon, between which a structured measurement film is arranged; an electrically conductive through hole connection in the ceramic substrate of the temperature measurement sensor, the conductive through hole connection extending from the first contact through the ceramic substrate to the lower surface of the ceramic substrate; a first conductive layer disposed on the lower surface of the ceramic substrate such that the first conductive layer is in contact with the conductive through hole connection, thereby defining a first pad of the temperature measurement sensor on the lower surface thereof; an insulating layer disposed on the upper surface of the ceramic substrate such that the first contact and the measurement film are covered by the insulating layer, and such that the second contact is at least partially exposed; and a second conductive layer disposed on the insulating layer of the ceramic substrate such that the second conductive layer is in contact with the second contact, thereby defining a second pad of the temperature measurement sensor on the upper surface thereof and wherein the first and second conductive layers overlap in a thickness direction with the structured measurement film disposed therebetween.
