Abstract
A cost-effective and extremely space-saving module approach is provided for at least two micromechanical sensor elements having the same packaging requirements. The sensor module described here includes at least two micromechanical sensor elements whose sensor function is based on the direct or indirect impact of a measuring medium. The at least two sensor elements are situated in a shared housing having at least one access opening for the measuring medium, and the at least two sensor elements are stacked with one component back side on one component front side, so that the upper sensor element at least partially covers the active area of the lower sensor element, while still ensuring the impact of the measuring medium, which is used for the sensor function, on the active area of the lower sensor element.
