ABSTRACT:
A method for depositing a metal on a surface is disclosed. The method comprises coating the surface with a sensitizing solution comprising at least a reducible salt of a non-noble metal to form a coated surface. The coated surface is exposed to a source of light radiation to form a catalytic layer capable of directly catalyzing the deposition of a metal thereon from an electroless metal deposition solution. The catalytic layer is treated with a fixing solution comprising an autocatalytic reducing agent for the non-noble metal ions of said reducible salt to at least stabilize the catalytic layer.
