Abstract

A method of manufacturing a submillimetric electroconductive grid coated with an overgrid on a substrate includes: the production of a mask having submillimetric openings by the deposition of a solution of colloidal polymeric nanoparticles that are stabilized and dispersed in a solvent, the polymeric particles having a glass transition temperature Tg and the drying of the masking layer at a temperature below the Tg until the mask, with straight edges, is obtained, the formation of the electroconductive grid by a deposition of electroconductive material, referred to as grid material, a heat treatment of the masking layer with the grid material at a temperature greater than or equal to 0.8 times Tg, thus creating a space between the edges of mask zones and the lateral edges of the grid; a deposition of a layer, referred to as an overlayer, made of a material referred to as overlayer material, on the grid and in the space between the edges of mask zones and the lateral edges of the grid; a removal of the masking layer. The invention also relates to the grid thus obtained.
