1. A method for forming a zinc oxide layer on a substrate comprising:
- selectively dispensing a seed material from an inkjet material dispenser onto a substrate according to a desired pattern of zinc oxide on said substrate, wherein said seed material is configured to produce a zinc oxide layer on said substrate by electroless plating, said zinc oxide layer corresponding to said pattern of said dispensed seed material; and
exposing said substrate to a zinc oxide plating material to form said zinc oxide layer on said substrate corresponding to said pattern of said dispensed seed material.

11. A method for depositing material on a substrate via electroless plating comprising:
-
selectively depositing a seed material onto said substrate with an inkjet material dispenser, said seed material being configured to aid in formation of a controllable electric pathway, wherein said seed material comprises a tin/palladium complex; and exposing said substrate to at least one solution configured to react with said seed material to form a catalytic coating on said substrate; and exposing said substrate to a zinc oxide plating solution to produce a zinc oxide layer with said catalytic coating, said zinc oxide layer having a pattern corresponding to a pattern of said selective-deposited seed material. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
