Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention pertains] The lacquer layer of the land-based printing is removed from the substrate, and the present invention relates to a method for fabricating a structured layer sequence on a substrate. There are first electrodes that are spaced apart from each other. In the first method step, a contact barrier is printed on a first edge section of each of the second poles, and in a subsequent second method step, a lacquer layer is applied, the lacquer is: Each of the contact barriers extends from a free face and region between adjacent first electrodes - up to a second side, a meandering region of the adjacent first electrode adjacent to the region, in the subsequent third In the method step, the entire area of the substrate is printed with at least one active layer of at least one layer, the active layer consisting of a low-dry and flowable layer medium; in the subsequent fourth method step The entire area of the substrate is covered with a first metal layer <main, then the portion [previously] the substrate may be, for example, a dimensionally stable or flexible substrate, i.e., a planar element, which is electrically insulated Material composition. The application of a portion of the layer to a substrate in a structured and dimensionally aligned manner is difficult when the viscosity of the medium comprising the associated layer is low because the low-diameter medium is susceptible to improper flow 'and, for example, The registration mark (Register Marken) or the flat area applied to the substrate cannot be accurately and/or dimensionally presented. The medium may for example be a lacquer, a solvent or the like 'however due to the functionality and efficiency of the entire layer construction on a substrate (ie the structured layer sequence) with individual structured layers and 5 200814389 The exact planar dimensions are very relevant, so it has hitherto been difficult to choose a conventional approach to layer application. A method for producing a structured layer sequence on a substrate of the above type is found in International Patent WO 200413922 A2. In this method, a "lifting paint layer" (Lift-Off-Lackschicht) is printed partially directly onto one of the first electrodes after the first electrode is placed on the substrate. In WO 02/073712 A1, a method for structuring a substrate is described in which a droplet is applied to the substrate in a first method step, the droplet being composed of a first organic or inorganic substance due to its A special surface tension on the substrate, with <3〇. The small contact angle occupies a lenticular cross-sectional profile. After a sputum plating process, the lenticular cross-sectional profile becomes a %-shaped profile with a central region, wherein the first material is mostly It is located at the outer ring portion and Φ, & t, and a small portion of the material is located in the middle region surrounded by the outer ring segment. An etching process is then performed in which the thin film of the central region is removed from the substrate. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a method of the above kind, by which a portion of a layer of a waiter can be applied to a substrate in a structured and held manner. Removal, and using this method, for example, 3' can produce inexpensive polymer solar cells. According to the invention, a 6 200814389 contact barrier is printed on each of the first edge portions after the first feature of the first item of the application is applied to the first rapid change and before the lacquer layer is partially printed. The first layer is ii layer printed in such a manner that it extends from each contact barrier through a free area region between adjacent first electrodes up to the adjacent first electrode: the second edge region of the region, in the active layer After drying, the entire area of the substrate is covered with a first metal layer and the lacquer layer is removed from the substrate. The first electrode spaced apart from each other on the base may be a thin layer, a thick layer, a film or the like, and the contact stopper may be manufactured by screen printing. For example, the splicing method can also be achieved by a roller printing method such as a gravure printing method. The base may be constructed of a dimensionally stable or flexible material, and the corresponding material is also suitable for the portion of the lacquer layer to be applied to the substrate and the at least one at least one active layer. They can also be, for example, (4) screen printing, gravure printing or creator manufacturing. If solar cell power is to be produced by the method of the present invention, the at least one active layer may be a semiconductor material. The first metal layer of the substrate as a whole can be designed, for example, in the form of a thin layer, which is achieved by cathodic treatment, vacuum evaporation or the like. In the method of the present invention, the lacquer layer partially printed on the substrate may be followed by a second metal layer on the substrate, the second metal layer being structured in such a manner that the second metal layer will be a metal layer is electrically connected via an associated contact barrier and a region of free area on the contact stop between the adjacent first electrodes and a second edge region of the adjacent first electrode connected thereto In a manner, at least one active layer disposed on the first electrode and a metal layer disposed on the same region are spaced apart from each other. 0 7 200814389 In this manner, the second metal layer is constructed by using the second metal layer The individual cells are connected in series, each of which consists of a first electrode, an associated first metal layer 'and at least one active layer therebetween. If the at least one active layer is a semiconductor layer for use in a polymer solar cell component, the series is used to accumulate the voltages of the individual cells. In the case of a polymer solar cell element, for example, a layer of PE DOT/PSS [poly(3,4-ethylenedioxyphene) poly(ethyl acrylate)] and a sc (semiconductor layer) can be used. As the active layer 'of course, the active layer is not limited to these examples. According to the invention, before the partially printed lacquer layer is removed, the first metal layer is provided with a resist layer in the region between the partially printed lacquer layers, in this manner, After the partially printed resist layer on the substrate is removed, a second metal layer can be provided, the second metal layer being structured in such a manner that the first metal layer passes the first metal layer via the associated contact barrier and a free area between the adjacent first electrodes connected to the contact stop and a second edge region of the adjacent first electrode connected thereto is formed in a manner of being packaged on the first electrode At least one living layer of at least one single layer and a metal layer provided on the same area are spaced apart. In this way, a series circuit of individual batteries is created. To protect the laminate made in accordance with the present invention, it is preferred if at least one layer is applied after the second metal layer is applied to the soil. The at least one cap layer can be applied to the substrate by a layer of a depleting agent with which the laminate formed on the substrate can be protected from external mechanical and/or chemical influences. Further details, features and advantages are found in the following description of the method in which the schematic is shown in Figure 8 200814389 instead of the physical dimensions (which is used to fabricate a structured layer sequence on a substrate). [Commonly applied method] Fig. 1 shows a matrix (10) composed of an electrically insulating material. The substrate (10) can be designed as a flat, stable shape or a pliable material. The substrate (10) is provided on a main surface (12) with a plurality of first electrodes (14) spaced apart from each other, and the first electrode (14) may be formed of a thin layer, a thick layer, a metal film or the like. In a first method step, the blocking member (18) is contacted on a first edge section (16) of the first electrode (14). After the contact barrier (18) is dried, a lift-up lacquer layer (20) is partially printed, extending from each contact barrier (18) to the adjacent boundary of the adjacent electrode (4) thereto. The second edge region (22), and thus the orientation between the adjacent first electrodes (14), that is, at the respective contact positions (18) and the adjacent first electrodes 〇4) The free area area (24) between the second_edge areas (22) of the position is covered. After the portion of the lacquer layer (20) has dried, the substrate is overlaid with at least one at least one active layer (26) which may be comprised of a low viscosity, flowable (and therefore difficult to print) medium. This media can be achieved by means of rollers, printing or the like. After the at least one active layer (26) of at least one of the layers is dried, the entire surface of the substrate is covered with a first metal layer (28). The metal layer (28) may, for example, be a thin layer which is fabricated by cathodic atomization, vacuum evaporation or the like. In a method step after applying the first metal layer (28), the lacquer layer (20) printed on the portion 9 200814389 is printed from the substrate along the area of the metal layer (28) located thereon (10) Remove. This is not shown in Figure 1 by the use of curved brackets (3〇), and the partially printed lacquer layer (2〇) is removed by washing. Thus, not only the partially printed lacquer layer (2 〇) is removed from the substrate (1 〇), but the at least one at least one active layer (26) provided on the lacquer layer (20) is first The sections of the metal layer (28) are also removed. Thus, the first electrodes (14) spaced apart from one another are left on the substrate (1〇). And an area section of the at least one active layer (26) of at least one layer disposed on the first electrode (14), and a first metal layer (28) disposed on the surface and the segment, the metal layer being The first edge section (16) of the first electrode 〇4) is delimited by the associated contact stop (18) and corresponds one-to-one to the second edge region (22) of the first containment (14) Paint layer (2〇)__ Flat return. After the partially printed lacquer layer (2〇) is removed from the substrate (1〇), a second metal layer (32) may be disposed on the substrate (10) in a structured manner such that it will be a metal layer (28) is connected to the second edge region of the barrier member via an associated contact barrier (18) and an adjacent first electrode (14) in a private manner, and is disposed therewith The active layer (26) of at least one to two monolayers on the first electrode (14) and the first metal layer (four) covering the same area as the active layer are spaced apart. Thus, the second metal layer of the structuring is used to create a series connection of individual elements (34) each consisting of a first electrode (14), the associated active layer (26) of at least a single layer, and The first metal layer (28) on the active layer is formed. Figure 3 shows another method of the invention in which a metal layer (28) is lifted between the partially printed 200814389 lacquer layer (20) prior to removal of the partially printed lacquer layer (20). The zone (36) is provided with a resist layer (38). The partially printed lacquer layer (20) is then washed away (ie removed) from the substrate (1), as shown in Figure 3 - as in Figure 1 - with curved brackets with arrows (3) 0) indicates. The structured lacquer layer (20) dissolves, resulting in an interlaminar structure, as shown in FIG. After the partially printed lacquer layer (2 〇) is dissolved, the remaining structured resist layer (38) is removed again, as indicated by the arrows in Fig. 4 by arcs. In a subsequent method step, a structured metal layer (32) is provided on the substrate (i 〇) as described above in conjunction with Figure 2, which causes the individual elements (34) to be connected in series. After applying the structured second metal layer (32), at least one cap layer (44) (see FIGS. 2 and 3) is applied to the substrate (1) using an adhesive layer (42). . In Figures 1, 2 and 3, 5, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and therefore it is not necessary to have all the elements in detail for all the figures.
