Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to apparatuses and/or methods involving stacked layers of material. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more aspects characterized herein, an apparatus includes a base layer of material with upper and lower surfaces, and stacked layers of material on the base layer. The stacked layers include a first layer stacked on the upper surface of the base layer, and further layers stacked on and adhered to one of the other stacked layers. At least one of the stacked layers has a lower surface area that is larger than a lower surface area of one of the stacked layers on which it is stacked, with an adhesive on an exposed portion thereof.

An apparatus comprising:
- a base layer of material having upper and lower surfaces;
- and
- stacked layers of material including a first one of the layers stacked on the upper surface of the base layer, each of a plurality of the stacked layers of material being stacked on and adhered to one of the other stacked layers, at least one of the stacked layers having a lower surface area that is larger than a lower surface area of one of the stacked layers on which it is stacked and having an adhesive on an exposed portion thereof.
A method comprising:
- providing a base layer of material having upper and lower surfaces;
- and
- stacking layers of material on the base layer by stacking and adhering a first one of the layers on the upper surface of the base layer, and stacking and adhering each of a plurality further layers on one of the other layers, with at least one of the stacked layers having a lower surface area that is larger than a lower surface area of one of the stacked layers on which it is stacked and having adhesive on an exposed portion thereof.
