    Abstract: A sensor device contains at least one sensor chip having at least one MEMS structure arranged at a main surface of the at least one sensor chip, wherein the at least one sensor chip is configured to transmit ultrasonic signals and/or to receive ultrasonic signals. The sensor device further contains an acoustic coupling medium arranged selectively on the at least one MEMS structure, wherein the acoustic coupling medium is configured to decouple an ultrasonic signal to be emitted from the at least one MEMS structure and/or to inject a received ultrasonic signal into the at least one MEMS structure. The acoustic coupling medium only partially covers the main surface of the at least one sensor chip.

    Abstract: A current sensor system includes a magnetic field sensor including a chip plane, a first set of sensor elements sensitive to a first magnetic field component that is aligned in a first direction that is parallel to the chip plane, and a second set of sensor elements sensitive to a second magnetic field component that is aligned in a second direction that is perpendicular to the chip plane; and three conductor structures arranged in parallel to each other and configured to carry a current parallel or antiparallel to a third direction that is perpendicular to the first direction and to the second direction. The three conductor structures generate three magnetic fields based on the current flowing therethrough, where the three magnetic fields produce a first magnetic field distribution of the first magnetic field component and a second magnetic field distribution of the second magnetic field component.
