Abstract: Proposed is a method for forming an electroless plating electrode through selective cross-linking layer formation using a laser, specifically, the method includes forming a selective cross-linking layer by sintering a water-soluble polymer thin film layer, which is formed on a substrate by coating, to form a patterned shape thereon using a laser, followed by forming a precise metal pattern by electroless-plating the selective cross-linking layer with copper, nickel, or other metals. The method offers a simple manufacturing process, cost efficiency, and flexibility in manufacturing without being limited by the shape of a substrate, thereby patterns may be formed on various substrates. A catalyst material for electroless plating is mixed with a polymer material to directly cross-link the substrate. Thus, durability is improved but also an electrode may be formed with a substrate by electroless plating simply and in a short time due to use of only a single material.
