An electronic component (100) is provided in different embodiments, said electronic component (100) comprising: an electrically active area (106) on or over a carrier (102); an encapsulation structure (128) on or over the carrier (102) and the electrically active area (106), wherein the encapsulation structure (128) is designed to hermetically seal the electrically active area (106) in relation to a penetration, in particular a diffusion (112), of at least one material, preferably water and/or oxygen, from a surface (108) of the encapsulation structure (128) through the encapsulation structure (128) into the electrically active area (106), and wherein the encapsulation structure (128) has a barrier structure (104) on the surface (108) and an indicator structure (110) between the barrier structure (104) and the electrically active area (106), wherein the indicator structure (110) has a higher reactivity than the barrier structure (104) with respect to the at least one material which penetrates, in particular diffuses, through the barrier structure (104), in such a way that the penetrating, in particular diffusing, material is detectable using the indicator structure (110) with the aid of a chain reaction or the colour change of a pH indicator. |
