The present invention relates to a
resistor (2) having at least one connection element (3, 3') and at least one
resistive element (4), wherein at least a portion (411) of the surface (41) of the
resistive element (4) as a substrate or at least a portion (311) of the surface (31) of the connection element (3, 3') as a substrate is coated with a
coating (5) having at least one layer (50, 51, 52, 53). According to the present invention, the
coating (5) is implemented in such a way that at an interface (61) between the substrate and the
coating (5) there is direct
metal-
semiconductor contact, thereby forming a pn junction at the interface (61), and / or at least at an interface (62) between a first layer (50, 51) and a second layer (52) of the coating (5) there is direct
metal-
semiconductor contact or a first
semiconductor-second semiconductor contact, thereby forming a pn junction at the interface (62). The
resistor 2 is configured such that either one layer (50, 51, 52, 53) of the coating (5) on the one hand, or the uncoated portion (412, 412') of the surface (41) of the
resistive element (4) on the other hand or the uncoated portion (312) of the surface (31) of the connecting element (3, 3') on the other hand, or either the first layer (50, 51) of the coating (5) on the one hand, or the further layer (52, 53) on the other hand, is contactable to detect a measurement
signal for determining the temperature of the
resistor (2).
