  • Layered apparatus and its manufacturing method
    Patent number: 10763435
    Abstract: A layered apparatus comprises a substrate (100), a first electrically conductive layer (102) on and in contact with the substrate (100), a second patterned electrically conductive layer (104) which is in contact with the first electrically conductive layer (102), a third electrically conductive layer (112), a fourth electrically conductive layer (114) which is electrically insulated from the first electrically conductive layer (102), the second patterned electrically conductive layer (104) and the third electrically conductive layer (112), and an operationally active layer (108) between the first electrically conductive layer (102) and the fourth electrically conductive layer (114). The second patterned electrically conductive layer (104) is thicker than the operationally active layer (108), and a top part (104A) of the second patterned electrically conductive layer (104) extends across the operationally active layer (108) for having an electrical contact with the third electrically conductive layer (112).
    Type: Grant
