Abstract: A substrate includes a first surface area; and a second surface area with a second roughness value. In a height profile of the substrate along a cutting line crossing the first surface area and the second surface area, a height of the substrate along a first section of the height profile is larger than the height of the substrate along a second section of the height profile. In the height profile an absolute value of a height difference between a point of maximum height or an averaged height, respectively, of the second section and a point of minimal height or an averaged height, respectively, of the first section defines a depth value. A ratio of the depth value and the second roughness value is between 2 and 35. A marking element extends across the first surface area and the second surface area.
