    Abstract

    We have successfully carried out direct implantable metallization (plating) on soft polymer such as PDMS using electrically induced microbubbles. Novelties of this technology is; 1. No requirement of complicated pretreatment procedure on the surface of any substrate before plating and which is unlike the non-electrolytic plating, 2. Resolution of the plating can be reached to several-tens micron within short time with low cost, 3. Robust metallization on wide range of material locally and precisely without any masks and so on. We evaluated robustness and resolution of metallization in our method.
