Patent ID: 7846838

Claim:
A method for producing an electronic component on a surface of a substrate with the electronic component having, seen at a right angle to the surface of the substrate, at least two electrical functional layers arranged one above the other and overlapping at least in a surface area F having a length dimension (L F ), with the at least two electrical functional layers on the substrate being structured directly or indirectly with a structuring unit using a continuous process, and with the substrate being moved relative to the structuring unit, the substrate being flexible with a thickness in the range from 6 μm to 200 μm and which substrate is transported from roll to roll during the continuous process, wherein a) a first electrical functional layer of the at least two electrical functional layers is structured such that a first length dimension (L 1 ) of the first electrical functional layer in a first direction parallel to the surface of the substrate and in a relative movement direction of the substrate relative to the structuring unit is at least 5 μm longer than the length dimension (L F ) of the surface area F in the relative movement direction and in the first direction parallel to the surface of the substrate, and wherein b) the first electrical functional layer of the at least two electrical functional layers being structured such that a first width dimension (B 1 ) of the first electrical functional layer parallel to the surface of the substrate and at a right angle to the relative movement direction of the substrate is at least 5 μm wider relative to the structuring unit than a second width dimension (B F ) of the surface area F at a right angle to the relative movement direction and parallel to the surface of the substrate.
