This invention relates to a method for bonding of a first contact area of a first at least largely transparent substrate to a second contact area of a second at least largely transparent substrate, on at least one of the contact areas an oxide being used for bonding, from which an at least largely transparent interconnection layer is formed with an electrical conductivity of at least 10e1 S/cm.sup.2 (measurement: four point method, relative to temperature of 300K) and an optical transmittance greater than 0.8 (for a wavelength range from 400 nm to 1500 nm) on the first and second contact area.
