Abstract
A technique includes applying a liquid dielectric composition onto a substrate, where the composition includes metal ions, at least partially curing the composition to form a dielectric layer with the metal ions, patterning the dielectric layer to form electron-rich regions at a surface thereof, heating the patterned dielectric layer to drive the metal ions to the electron-rich regions thereof, thereby forming a metal barrier layer on at least a portion of the surface of the dielectric layer, and depositing one or more metal layers onto the metal barrier layer.
