We describe a novel method for generating fine metal lines with a laser. The laser radiation is focused onto the surface of a nonconductive silver nitrate‐doped polymer film to reduce silver. By translating the surface relative to the laser beam, a highly conductive silver line is formed. The measured resistance agrees well with the computed value for a silver conductor of comparable dimensions.
