IMPROVED HIGH-TEMPERATURE CHIP

One aspect relates to a high-temperature sensor, having a coated substrate. The substrate contains a zirconium oxide or a zirconium oxide ceramic, at least one resistance structure and at least two connection contacts. The connection contacts electrically contact the resistance structure. The substrate is coated with an insulation layer. The insulation layer contains a metal oxide layer, the resistance structure and the free regions of the insulation layer, on which no resistance structure is arranged, are coated at least in regions with a ceramic intermediate layer, and a protective layer and/or a cover is arranged on the ceramic intermediate layer. At least one opening is formed in the insulation layer, which exposes at least sections of a surface of the substrate.
