process based on the growth of photoreduced silver
nanoparticles onto polyimide substrates. The silver
nanoparticles are found to have sufficient catalytic
efficiency for subsequent electroless plating.
Characterization of the process indicates that UV energy
dose and heat treatment have to be traded off against photoand
thermal degradation of the polymer substrate. Factors
affecting the adhesion of the final electroless metal deposit
are also discussed.
