METAL PATTERN FORMING METHOD AND METAL PATTERN

摘要

Provided are a metal pattern forming method for obtaining a thick metal pattern having excellent drawing characteristics and scratch resistance, and a metal pattern formed by using such metal pattern forming method.  A pattern section is printed on a substrate by employing an inkjet system using an ink containing a catalyst, and the metal pattern is formed on the pattern section by nonelectrolytic plating.  The substrate has a porous layer containing inorganic fine particles on the surface, and has the catalyst being dissolved in the ink.
