A method for fabricating an electronic device and electronic component

have method for fabricating an electronic device with at least one first electrode region (21) and a second electrode region (23), which are separated by an insulator (9) and respectively at least a partial layer of a first electrically conductive material, comprising the steps of: A) providing a substrate layer (1) and at least one disposed on the substrate layer first electrically conductive layer (3) from the first electrically conductive material; B) placing at least a second electrically conductive layer (5) of a second electrically conductive material on the first electrically conductive layer (3); C) placing at least a first insulator (9) on the substrate so that the second electrically conductive layer (5) at least a first portion (11) which is covered with the insulator (9), and a second portion (13), which is not covered with the insulator, having and wherein the insulator (9) arranged so that it can serve to separate the first electrode region (21) and the second electrode region (23) from each other; D) placing at least one functional layer and at least a second electrode layer on the compound obtained in step C), the second electrically conductive layer (5) which is covered in portions to the insulator (9); and G) placing at least one protective material (15) (in at least a third portion 17), which is arranged (at least partially in the second portion 13), between step B) and step C) and / or between step C) and step D), so that the second electrically conductive layer (5) in at least a fourth portion (19) which is arranged at least partially in the second portion (13), not with the protective material (15) is covered.
