- microstructures 6 are introduced as substantially regular elevations and depressions in a first method step by means of a laser beam 5 into the tool surface 1.
- the laser beam 5 carries material from the tool surface 1, resulting in depressions. Those areas of the tool surface 1 at which the laser beam 5 does not remove any material or less material remain as elevations relative to the depressions.
- elevations and depressions are transferred to the workpiece surface 3 in a subsequent method step by partially transforming the workpiece surface 3 by means of the tool 2 designed as an embossing tool and the microstructures 6 as a negative contour 7 on the workpiece surface 3 within a surface enclosed by boundary lines and subsequently to be metallized be imaged.
- This is followed by seeding of the negative contour 7 with metal nuclei 8, in particular palladium seeds, which adhere only in the region of the negative contour 7 and can be easily removed in the remaining regions.
- the metal nuclei 8 penetrate into the workpiece surface 3, so that a flat or linear metal layer 9 is produced by a subsequent metallization starting from the metal nuclei 8.
- FIGS. 9 to 11 different manifestations of the microstructures on the workpiece are illustrated by means of scanning electron micrographs of the tool surface.
- FIG. 9 shows Cone Like Protrusions
- FIG. 10 nanoripples shows nanospheres as microstructures according to the invention on the tool surface.
- FIG. 11 shows nanospheres as microstructures according to the invention on the tool surface.
- the workpiece 2 embodied as a printed circuit board is shown by way of example in a plan view, wherein a surface treatment of the tool surface 1 has taken place in the region of the printed conductors to be produced.
- the microstructures 6 are to be seen as substantially regular elevations and depressions within a surface enclosed by boundary lines 10 and subsequently to be metallized, which have been introduced by molding the microstructured tool 2 shown in FIG.
