Abstract
A sensor element, especially a temperature sensor ( ) is proposed, having a sensitive area ( ), whose electrical resistance changes under the influence of a temperature to which the sensitive area ( ) is exposed. In this case, sensitive area ( ) has a glass ceramic fusion ( ) of a starting material containing at least one component which is furnished at least substantially with a surface metallization. The proposed temperature sensor ( ) is especially suitable for use at temperatures in excess of 1000° C., at which it shows resistance characteristics like that of a platinum resistor.
