Abstract
A method for selective metallization includes: selectively adsorbing catalytic nanoparticles onto an imprint mold to form a selectively adsorbed catalytic nanoparticle (SACN) mold; using the SACN mold in an imprinting process to synchronously transfer a pattern and the catalytic nanoparticles onto a film; separating the film from the SACN mold; and selectively depositing metal onto the film based on the pattern transferred to the film.
