Abstract

A method of selective metallization/deposition including patterning a mask on the surface of a substrate structure to define contact areas, and utilizing a compound, including a metal, which dissociates under predetermined conditions. The dissociation and application of the predetermined conditions occurring either during deposition or after deposition to selectively form a layer of the metal on the contact areas.
