Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A production method for a layer structure, including providing a substrate, wherein at least a top surface of the substrate is made from a non-conductive material; depositing a catalyst structure onto the top surface of the substrate; depositing a graphene structure onto the catalyst structure; and at least partially removing the catalyst structure situated between the substrate and the graphene structure.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A production method for a layer structure, comprising: providing a substrate, at least a top surface of the substrate being made from an electrically non-conductive material; depositing a catalyst structure onto the top surface of the substrate; depositing a graphene structure onto the catalyst structure; at least partially removing the catalyst structure situated between the substrate and the graphene structure; exposing the substrate from the direction of an underside that lies opposite from the top surface of the substrate so that the catalyst structure is at least regionally exposed, the graphene structure being at least regionally exposed during the partial removal of the catalyst structure, and developing a lower protective coating of an insulating material on at least a subregion of the underside of the substrate and the exposed graphene structure. 2. The production method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising: developing at least one electrically conductive contact on at least a subregion of the graphene structure. 3. The production method as recited in claim 2 , further comprising: developing an upper protective coating on at least one of: a subregion of the electrically conductive contact and the graphene structure. 4. The production method as recited in claim 3 , further comprising: removing a subregion of the graphene structure not covered by the upper protective coating prior to the at least partial removal of the catalyst structure. 5. A production method for a layer structure, comprising: providing a substrate, at least a top surface of the substrate being made from an electrically non-conductive material; depositing a catalyst structure onto the top surface of the substrate; depositing a graphene structure onto the catalyst structure; at least partially removing the catalyst structure situated between the substrate and the graphene structure; exposing the substrate from the direction of an underside that lies opposite from the top surface of the substrate so that the catalyst structure is at least regionally exposed, the graphene structure being at least regionally exposed during the partial removal of the catalyst structure, and developing a contact coating of an electrically conductive material on at least one of: a subregion of the underside of the substrate and the exposed graphene structure.
