Abstract

A method for catalytic activation was introduced by producing palladium aerosol nanoparticles via spark generation and then thermophoretically depositing the particles onto a flexible polyimide substrate through a hole in pattern mask, resulting in a line (24 μm in width) and a square (136 μm × 136 μm) patterns. After annealing, the catalytically activated substrate was placed into a solution for electroless copper deposition. Finally, copper micropatterns of a line (35 μm in width) and a square (165 μm × 165 μm) were formed only on the activated regions of the substrate. Both patterns had the height of 1.6 μm.
