- the webs 21a bridge the print image opening 23a of the structure layer 22 and below the webs 21a in the region of the print image opening 23a is no material of the structure layer 22nd
- the carrier layer openings 23b in this embodiment of the present invention are made wider than the press image opening 23a.
- the substrate layer openings 23b have a higher opening width than the printing image opening 23a. This advantageously makes possible a simpler and more efficient production of the carrier layer, since the accuracy requirements in the working out of the carrier layer openings can be reduced, since the accuracy of the printed image is determined by the accuracy of the geometry of the processed print image openings in the structure layer, which results from an exposure method easy way can be guaranteed.
- the present invention provides an improved solution for applying a contacting to a substrate, in particular to a substrate of a solar cell, in which the contacting and in particular the contact fingers can be applied with a more uniform printed image.
- the present invention provides an improved solution for applying a contacting to a substrate, in particular to a substrate of a solar cell, in which the contact fingers can be applied with the highest possible uniform aspect ratio over the entire length of the contact fingers.
- the contact fingers can be applied with the highest possible uniform aspect ratio over the entire length of the contact fingers.
