Abstract

We have selectively deposited palladium on a wide variety of substrates including Kapton (polyimide resin), Ultem 1000 (polyetherimide resin). Teflon, silicon and silicon oxide. The palladium films were fabricated by ultraviolet photolytic decomposition of allylcyclopentadienyl palladium. The photolytic dissociation of this organometallic complex results in the formation of gaseous allyl (C3H5) and cyclopentadienyl (CBH5) species. These films are all conducting, but studies of the bulk resistivities suggest that thin films deposited on the polyimide resins are porous, and the resistivities deviate from the value expected for bulk palladium.
