Methttod for producing metal conductors on a substrate

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing metal conductors, for instance copper conductor patterns as electronic components on a substrate, such as paper. Said method is particularly suitable for producing metal conductors on papers for large scale mass production using printing or like machines. In the method, an electroless deposition is carried out in at least two steps wherein a solution is made of one of the metallic starting material or the reducing agent, or the other one is present in a gas or vapour form, followed by successive application thereof on the substrate.
