Patent ID: 7799606

Claim:
A sensor arrangement, comprising: a semiconductor chip having a first surface, which has a media-sensitive region and at least one, first, electrical contact surface; a support having a second surface, which faces said first surface of said semiconductor chip, has an opening, which at least overlaps with said media-sensitive region, and at least one, second, electrical contact surface, which at least overlaps with said at least one, first, electrical contact surface; and a sealing element, which is clamped between said support and said semiconductor chip and produces an electrically conducting connection between said at least one, first, contact surface and said at least one, second, contact surface, and which has a traversing opening, which at least overlaps with the opening in said second surface, so that said media-sensitive region of said semiconductor opening is contactable through said opening with an analyte, wherein: said sealing element is elastic and seals the region outside of said opening against contamination with the analyte; said elastic sealing element comprises an elastic, insulating, organic layer with a plurality of embedded, conductive particles, grains or filaments; and said semiconductor chip is a pH sensor element or a redox sensor element.
