Synopsis

A film of ODA/PMDA polyimide can accept electrons from a cathode in a conventional electrochemical cell. When metal ions, such as Ag+, are included in the electrolyte solution, these can permeate into the film where they are reduced via the polymer to submicron metal particles. Under suitable conditions the deposition process can be controlled to produce a continuous metal interlayer embedded within the polymer. The thickness and position of this interlayer may be controlled with great precision and high resolution patterns can be made.
