Patent ID: 7777283

Claim:
An electrical component having a sensor and/or actuator chip, in particular a CMOS chip, that has a substrate on which a passivation layer and at least one structure that has at least one active surface area for a sensor and/or actuator is located, and the chip is surrounded by an encapsulation that has at least one opening that forms an access to the active surface area and to the passivation layer, and in the opening the chip has an interaction surface that extends, at least in some areas, atop of the passivation layer and the active surface area and that in operation the interaction surface is in contact with a liquid or viscous medium, and a first electrical insulation layer is provided between the passivation layer and the substrate, and a first conductor track layer that has at least two laterally separated electrically conductive layer areas is located in some areas between the passivation layer and the first insulation layer, and a second electrical insulation layer is provided between the first insulation layer and the substrate, and a second conductor track layer is located between the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer, wherein at least in the area of the first conductor track layer that is covered by the interaction surface a distance between the laterally adjacent, electrically conductive layer areas in each case is smaller than 1.2 times the thickness of this conductor track layer.
