Abstract
The present invention relates to a sensor system. The sensor system comprises a component carrier and a sensor having a control unit and a sensor unit. At least a part of the sensor unit is located within the component carrier.
Claims17
A sensor system, comprising:
- a laminate-type component carrier including multiple layer structures stacked and connected together for forming a printed circuited board;
- a sensor device having a control unit and a sensor unit;
- wherein the control unit is embedded in an electrically insulating layer structure of the multiple layer structures of the printed circuit board;
- wherein the control unit is in direct contact with the electrically insulating layer structure of the printed circuit board;
- wherein the sensor unit is located within a cavity formed in a further electrically insulating layer structure of the multiple layer structures of the printed circuit board,
- wherein the further electrically insulating layer structure is adjacent to a surface of the electrically insulating layer structure, and
- wherein the sensor unit comprises a contact surface onto which a sensor contact is arranged,
- wherein the contact surface is adjacent to the surface of the electrically insulating layer structure.
