The invention relates to a production method for an electrical resistance element (for example a shunt) with the following steps: —providing a resistance alloy in powder form, and—forming the resistance element from the powdered resistance material. The invention also relates to a correspondingly produced resistance element.

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.

A method for manufacturing an electronic component includes providing a substrate and a functional layer supported by the substrate; forming a structured protection layer on a side of the substrate to which the functional layer is attached, wherein the structured protection layer has a recess so that a portion of the functional layer is exposed; applying a dispersion comprising a solvent and electrically conductive components to the exposed portion of the functional layer so that the recess is at least partially filled with the dispersion; drying the dispersion in order to create an electrically conductive layer; and removing the structured protection layer.
