A semiconductor component with passivation includes at least two double passivating layers, of which an uppermost is applied to a planar surface of a layer located therebelow. The double passivating layers include two layers of different dielectric materials, for example silicon oxide and silicon nitride. The respective thicknesses of the individual passivating layers can be adapted to dimensions of the structuring of the layer to which the passivation is applied. This produces a reliable passivation which is particularly suitable for capacitively measuring fingerprint sensors.
