The behavior of a polyelectrolyte adsorbed on a charged substrate of high-dielectric constant is studied by both Monte-Carlo simulation and analytical methods. It is found that in a low enough ionic strength medium, the adsorption transition is first-order where the substrate surface charge still keeps repulsive. The monomer density at the adsorbed surface is identified as the order parameter. It follows a linear relation with substrate surface charge density because of the electrostatic boundary condition at the charged surface. During the transition, the adsorption layer thickness remains finite. A new scaling law for the layer thickness is derived and verified by simulation.
