Abstract
Embodiments in accordance with the present invention eliminate the need for a subtractive metal patterning process to pattern the electrode above a ferroelectric polymer. Instead, a selective electroless deposition process is used. A conductive polymer is used as a seed layer for the electroless plating of the metal electrode. A cost saving is provided by eliminating the chemical costs associated with conventional resist removal processing. The methods also potentially eliminate the requirement for aggressive and environmentally unsafe chemical-based photoresist removal processes.
