Abstract:
The invention provides a method for preparing a pattern for an electric circuit comprising the steps of: (a) providing a substrate; (b) providing a pattern of an inhibiting material for an electrical circuit onto said substrate by i) applying a layer of the inhibiting material onto said substrate and mechanically removing locally the layer of the inhibiting material to obtain said pattern; or ii) applying a layer of the inhibiting material onto said substrate, wherein said layer has pre-determined pattern which incompletely covers said substrate; (c) establishing a distribution of particles of a first metal or alloy thereof on the layer of the inhibiting material and the pattern as obtained in step. (b); and (d) depositing by means of an electroless process a layer of a second metal or alloy thereof on the distribution of the particles of the first metal or alloy thereof as obtained in step (c), whereby the inhibiting material that is still present on the substrate after step (b) locally inhibits the second metal or alloy thereof to be deposited on the first metal or alloy thereof, ensuring that the second metal or alloy thereof will selectively be deposited on the particles of the first metal or alloy thereof that are distributed on the pattern obtained in step (b).

Abstract:
This publication discloses a method for forming electrically conducting structures (102) on a substrate (100). According to the method nanoparticles (101) containing conducting or semiconducting material are applied on the substrate (100) in a dense formation and a voltage is applied over the nanoparticles so as to at least locally increase the conductivity of the formation. According to the invention, the voltage is high enough to cause melting of the nanoparticles in a breakthrough-like manner. With the aid of the invention, small-linewidth structures can be created without high-precision lithography.
Abstract:
A pattern form object and its manufacturing method are disclosed. The pattern form object includes a pattern constituted by an aggregate of grains, a supporting member for supporting the pattern, and a mixed layer formed at a boundary of the pattern and the supporting member. The mixed layer is constituted by a mixture of the grains and the supporting member. Dimensions of the grains in a region other than the mixed layer are greater than dimensions of the grains in the mixed layer.
