Abstract
In the measurement of sensor elements in a wafer composite, whereby non-electric stimuli are to be applied to the sensor elements, a semiconductor wafer having a multitude of sensor elements, each sensor element having a voltage supply connection, a grounded connection, and at least one sensor signal output, is configured such that a bus system is integrated in the semiconductor wafer, to which bus system at least the grounded connections of the sensor elements are connected and via which a supply voltage may be applied to the sensor elements, and that each sensor element is equipped with at least one controllable switching element for selecting the sensor element, so that only a selected sensor element supplies a sensor signal to a diagnosis device.
