Claim:
1. A process for depositing a metallic pattern on a medium, wherein the process comprises: i) generating pulsed laser beams from a pulsed laser source, wherein the laser beams have a wavelength for which the medium is substantially transparent to thereby provide a laser-transparent medium, ii) guiding the laser beams through the laser-transparent medium and focusing the laser beams which are guided through the laser-transparent medium onto a target layer comprising inorganic particles dispersed in a laser light degradable/combustible organic matrix thereby causing the target layer to produce ejecta in response to an interaction of the laser beams and the target layer, iii) accumulating at least a portion of the ejecta transferred backwardly on the medium within the desired pattern, iv) providing the pattern by electroless metal plating.
