Electroless metal deposition on silyl hydride functional resin

摘要

A method for selective electroless metal deposition on a substrate. The method comprises applying a patterned coating comprising a silyl hydride functional resin onto a substrate. An electroless plating solution comprising a metal ion is then applied onto the silyl hydride functional resin coating to deposit a patterned metal film on the substrate. The process of the invention is especially useful in the electronics industry.
