Abstract

A method is provided for making electrical contact with an electronic component in the form of a stack formed from a plurality of material layers, which react upon application of an electric field, and a plurality of electrode layers, wherein each material layer is arranged between two of the electrode layers. An insulation structure is generated on at least one stack circumferential region of the stack, which exposes each second electrode layer of the at least one stack circumferential region for electrical contact to be made. Also, a contact-making structure is applied to the at least one stack circumferential region which is provided with the insulation structure. Before the step of generating the contact-making structure, the material layers are partially removed by a material-removing method such that the electrode layers are exposed close to the surface.
