Abstract
A plate-shaped sensor element is proposed, in particular for determining the oxygen level in exhaust gases of internal combustion engines. The sensor element has at least one measuring cell with an oxygen-ion-conducting solid electrolyte and a heating element, the measuring cell and the heating element being connected with an electrical insulation layer. The material of the insulation layer is made of at least one crystalline, non-metallic material and at least one glass-forming material, a glazing filled with the crystalline, non-metallic material being formed when the sensor element is sintered.
