Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method for depositing metal on a substrate (1) comprising the following steps: - deposition of a sensitizer (9) comprising laser activable metal based molecules in a neutral state on the substrate (1), - activation of said laser activable metal based molecules of the sensitizer (9) through laser activation (103) so as to create metal ions from said laser activable metal based molecules which catalyze areas (11) on the substrate, - chemical deposition of metal on said catalyzed areas (11) of the substrate (1).
