Abstract
A device for measuring pressure in a space includes a semiconductor component suitable for measuring pressure that is positioned in the space and that has connecting pads for flip-chip mounting, a support element with a flat surface carrying a pattern of conductors onto which the semiconductor component is attached, and spacer elements in the space between the pattern of conductors and the bonding pads of the semiconductor component such that there is a space between the semiconductor component and the surface of the support elements in which space the pressure equals the pressure to be measured.
