Abstract:
A method of forming microstructures. An article (110) including a metal atom precursor (120) is disproportionally exposed to electromagnetic radiation in an amount and intensity sufficient to convert some of the precursor to elemental metal (160). Additional conductive material may then be deposited onto the elemental metal to produce a microstructure.
