Method of depositing a metal on a surface of a substrate
Abstract
Abstract A method of depositing a metal on a surface of a substrate is disclosed. A suitable colloidal sensitizing solution, comprising insoluble hydrous oxide particles, selected from among solutions revealed in application Ser. No. 8,022, filed Feb. 2, 1970, is applied to a surface of a substrate. The sensitized substrate surface is then treated with a suitable redox agent to delineate a pattern capable of reducing an activating metal ion to an activating metal. Alternatively, a positive colloidal sensitizing solution, i.e., a solution comprising ions capable of reducing an activating metal ion to an activating metal is applied to the surface and the sensitized surface is then treated with an activating metal ion containing solution to deposit an activating metal pattern thereon. Alternatively, a colloidal activating metal solution is applied to the surface and the surface is then treated with a solution comprising an ion capable of reducing an activating metal ion to deposit an activating metal pattern thereon.
