Abstract
A patterned electrical conductor having improved conductivity and controllably high resolution track and gap widths is obtained by exposing, to a desired conductive pattern, a pressure-sensitive or photosensitive element comprising a support and a pressure-sensitive or photosensitive material coated thereon being sensitive to the exposure (e.g. the wavelength of exposing radiation) and capable of providing a latent image upon exposure, and then developing the exposed element to form a developed element having a metal (e.g. silver) image thereon and then electroless plating and/or electroplating the metal image with a second metal (e.g. silver) whilst subjecting the developed element to ultrasonic agitation.
