The metal pattern plays a crucial role in various optoelectronic devices. However, fabrication of high-resolution metal patterns has serious problems including complicated techniques and high cost. Herein, an inkjet printed water-soluble sacrificial layer was proposed to fabricate a high-resolution metal pattern. The water-soluble sacrificial layer was inkjet printed on a polyethylene glycol terephthalate (PET) surface, and then the printed surface was deposited with a metal layer by evaporating deposition. When the deposited surface was rinsed by water, the metal layer deposited on the water-soluble sacrificial layer could be removed. Various high-resolution metal patterns were prepared, which could be used in electroluminescent displays, strain sensors, and 3D switches. This facile method could be a promising approach for fabricating high-resolution metal patterns.
