Claim:
1. A method for making electrical contact with an electronic component, the method comprising: forming a stack including (a) a plurality of material layers that react upon application of an electric field and (b) a plurality of electrode layers having a top, a bottom, and an edge surface, wherein each material layer is arranged between two of the electrode layers; removing portions of the material layers near an outer surface of the stack using a material-removing method, to expose both the edge surface and a portion of the top and the bottom surfaces of the electrode layers around a perimeter of the stack with a depth defined radially along the exposed portion of the top and the bottom surfaces; wherein the remaining portions of the material layers have a concave form extending from a first point of contact with a respective first adjacent electrode layer to a second point of contact with a respective second adjacent electrode layer; forming an insulation structure at the perimeter of the stack, the insulation structure insulating every second electrode layer; and applying a contact-making structure at the stack circumferential region the contact-making structure making contact with the electrode layers that are not insulated by the insulation structure.
