1. A component comprising:
at least one carrier layer having a top side and a bottom side;
at least one functional layer arranged on the top side of the carrier layer, the functional layer comprising a material having a specific electrical characteristic;
at least two cover electrodes configured for electrically contacting the functional layer from a top side of the functional layer,
wherein the cover electrodes are arranged next to one another and are spatially and electrically separated from one another by at least one recess or a comb-like structure, and
wherein the cover electrodes are arranged directly on the functional layer;
at least one feedthrough completely penetrating the carrier layer and the functional layer such that the feedthrough extends from the top side of the functional layer through the functional layer and the carrier layer to the bottom side of the carrier layer; and
at least one contact element arranged on the bottom side of the carrier layer, the at least one contact element configured for electrically contacting of the component,
wherein the component is configured for direct integration into an electrical system as a discrete component.
