Claim Text:
1. A method of manufacturing an electric component, comprising the steps of: forming a first electrically conducting layer comprising a first electrode of the electric component on a substrate; depositing an interlayer of a dielectric material on the first electrically conducting layer, said dielectric material comprising an electrically insulating material; depositing a further layer of a dielectric material on the interlayer of dielectric material, said further layer comprising a photo-patternable electrically insulating material; structuring both said further layer and said interlayer, wherein the further layer of dielectric material is used as a mask for the interlayer, wherein said structuring is performed using a combination of developing the further layer followed by a dry etching step for the interlayer, and a fluorine containing gas is introduced in an etching chamber used in the dry etching step during or after the dry etching step to create a lower energy surface of a dielectric stack comprising the interlayer and the further layer; and forming a second electrically conducting layer comprising a second electrode of the electric component.
