Method and configuration for reinforcement of a dielectric layer at defects by self-aligning and self-limiting electrochemical conversion of a substrate material

摘要

A method for producing a dielectric layer on a substrate made of a conductive substrate material includes reducing a leakage current that flows through defects of the dielectric layer at least by a self-aligning and self-limiting electrochemical conversion of the conductive substrate material into a nonconductive substrate follow-up material in sections of the substrate that are adjacent to the defects. Also provided is a configuration including a dielectric layer with defects, a substrate made of a conductive substrate material, and reinforcement regions made of the nonconductive substrate follow-up material in sections adjacent to the defects.
