Abstract
A sensor element () includes a substrate () and a strain-sensitive element () which is preferably applied to the substrate by means of thin-film technology and is used for measuring the deformation of the substrate () when pressure is applied or a force is introduced, the strain-sensitive element () including XAlON, wherein X is a metal with a high melting temperature in the range of greater than 1400° C. and 0<y<0.4 applies. A passivation layer () can be applied to the strain-sensitive element ().
