Abstract
A method for manufacturing an electrical conductor includes: depositing a solid metal conductive layer or film on a substrate; depositing a liquid metal on the solid layer; and allowing the liquid metal and the solid layerto alloy by diffusion of the liquid metal into the solid layer or film so as to form a solid conductive layer or film of the alloy; as well as allowing the liquid metal to further infiltrate the alloy so as to form percolating paths and/or droplets of the liquid metal in the the solid conductive layer or film, thus forming a biphasic conductive layer.
