MOISTURE SENSOR

A moisture sensor comprises a carrier element comprises an insulating material, a first and a second electrode structure at a distance from one another at the carrier element, a moisture-sensitive, dielectric layer element at a first main surface region of the carrier element and adjacent to the first and second electrode structures and a third electrode structure on a first main surface region of the moisture-sensitive, dielectric layer element, such that the moisture-sensitive, dielectric layer element is between the third electrode structure and the first electrode structure and between the third electrode structure and the second electrode structure. The first electrode structure is a first capacitor electrode and the second electrode structure is a second capacitor electrode of a measurement capacitor for capacitive moisture measurement, wherein the third electrode structure is a floating electrode structure.
