Abstract:
Devices produced by patterning electroless metals on a substrate are presented. An active catalyst layer on the substrate is covered with a patterned mask and treated with a deactivating chemical reagent, which deactivates the catalyst layer not covered by the mask. Once the patterned mask is removed, the electroless metal layer can be placed to have a patterned electroless metals. Alternatively, a substrate can be coated with a blocking reagent in a pattern first to inhibit formation of the catalyst layer before a catalyst layer can be placed over the blocking agent layer and then electroless metal layer is placed on the catalyst layer. The pattern of the blocking reagent acts as a negative pattern of the final conductive line pattern.

Claim (Index 1):
A device having an electrical conductivity, comprising:\n a substrate comprising a surface coated with a blocking reagent, wherein the blocking agent is distributed on the surface in a pattern; a layer of catalyst deposited on the substrate; and an electroless metal layer deposited upon the layer of catalyst.
