A workpiece () having substrate, such as a glass substrate, can be etched by a laser or by other means to create recessed features (). A laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) process or metal oxide printing process can be employed to impart a seed material (), such as a metal, onto the glass substrate, especially into the recessed features (). The seeded recessed features can be plated, if desired, by conventional techniques, such as electroless plating, to provide conductive features () with predictable and better electrical properties. The workpieces () can be connected in a stacked such that subsequently stacked workpieces () can be modified in place.
