The present invention relates to a structure and a method for selectively forming a compact and precise
metal pattern on a plastic
substrate surface. The structure comprises three
layers of materials such as a plastic substrate,
nickel or
zinc or an
indium tin oxide material, and a
metal subsequently deposited on the material, wherein the
nickel or the
zinc or the
indium tin oxide material is formed through adopting
laser to irradiate the plastic substrate, decomposing an additive previously added to the plastic, and adopting reductive
chemical plating to treat. The manufacturing method comprises: adopting
laser to selectively scan the plastic substrate. According to the present invention, the additive does not adopt a
copper-containing
oxide, a
copper chelate, a
copper complex and a
metal oxide having a
spinel structure, and adopts the
environmentally friendly non-toxic inorganic salt containing
nickel and
zinc, and the
indium tin oxide material, the
coupling agent is adopted to carry out
coating modification to prepare the additive having a core-shell structure, and the additive is added to the plastic to prepare the
laser composite plastic; the laser is adopted to decompose the shell part of the additive so as to release active ingredients in the core; the present invention belongs to a new material based advanced
assembly and
manufacturing technology in the field of electronic and electric apparatuses; and the structure and the method are used for manufacturing
mobile phone antennas, transparent lamp parts, automobile parts, three-dimensional circuits and other products.
