Abstract:
A thin-film component comprising a substrate of an electrically insulating material, which substrate is provided with two U-shaped side contacts, each of said U-shaped side-contacts comprising two legs, as well as with an electrical structure, which electrical structure is electrically connected to both side contacts, characterized in that a flexible layer is situated between the substrate and at least one of both legs of each of the U-shaped side contacts, said flexible layer is provided directly onto a surface of the substrate and said flexible layer directly contacts said substrate on an opposite face from said electrical structure and each of the U-shaped side contacts wraps around and contacts said flexible layer and said electrical structure and in that the modulus of elasticity of the material of the flexible layer is smaller than 50 GPa.
