METHOD OF PROVIDING A METAL LAYER ON A SUBSTRATE

摘要

"Method of providing a metal layer on a substrate." A method of providing a metal layer on a substrate having an ultra-smooth or microprofiled surface, in which the surface structure is reproduced in the metal layer. On the substrate surface which is hydrophilic or is made hydrophilic, preferably a monomolecular layer of alkoxysilylalkylthiol, an alkoxysilylalkylamine or a chlorosilylalkylthiol is provided as a bonding intermediary in a layer which is at most 15 molecules thick by contact with an atmosphere in which said substance is present in a vapour form. The metal layer is vapour-deposited thereon in a thickness of 50-300 nm.
