A pressure sensor has a metal housing. The housing has a closed-off and fluid-filled pressure space. A diaphragm partitions the pressure space off from the environment and transmits pressures derived therefrom to the fluid. A pressure-sensitive chip of semiconducting material is exposed to the pressure of the fluid and has a piezoresistant and anisotropic effect. Connectors, metal rods for instance, extend pressure-tight and electrically insulated from the metal housing into the pressure space. The connectors can be connected to an electric processing circuit. The pressure-sensitive chip is connected by bonds. To provide a pressure sensor that will be cheaper to manufacture, less sensitive to malfunction, and more precise, the pressure sensor is provided with a base plate of aluminum nitride. At least some areas of its surface are metallized. The pressure-sensitive chip is soldered to the base plate within a metallized area.
