Abstract
A surface of an insulating workpiece is implanted to form either hydrophobic or hydrophilic implanted regions. A conductive coating is deposited on the workpiece. The coating may be a polymer in one instance. This coating preferentially forms either on the implanted regions if these implanted regions are hydrophilic or on the non-implanted regions if the implanted regions are hydrophobic.
