Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

It is an object to provide a technique for obtaining a wiring pattern by electroless plating without using a lift-off process. A method for manufacturing a wiring pattern characteristically includes: a base layer forming step of forming an base layer including a catalyst for electroless plating and a resin; a surface layer removing step of removing at least a part of a surface layer of the base layer; and a plating layer forming step of performing electroless plating and forming a plating layer on the base layer subjected to the surface layer removing step.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method for manufacturing a wiring pattern, the method comprising: a base layer forming step of forming an base layer comprising a catalyst for electroless plating and a resin; a surface layer removing step of removing at least a part of a surface layer of the base layer; and a plating layer forming step of performing electroless plating and forming a plating layer on the base layer subjected to the surface layer removing step, wherein a precursor for the resin is water-soluble. 2 . The method for manufacturing a wiring pattern according to claim 1 , wherein, in the base layer forming step, the base layer is formed by applying a solution comprising the catalyst for electroless plating and the precursor for the resin, and curing the precursor for the resin into a predetermined pattern. 3 . The method for manufacturing a wiring pattern according to claim 2 , wherein the precursor for the resin is cured by irradiation with light comprising light with a predetermined wavelength. 4 . The method for manufacturing a wiring pattern according to claim 3 , wherein the precursor for the resin is cured by irradiation with light comprising the light with the predetermined wavelength through a mask with an opening corresponding to the predetermined pattern. 5 . The method for manufacturing a wiring pattern according to claim 1 , wherein in the surface layer removing step, a surface of the base layer is irradiated with plasma. 6 . The method for manufacturing a wiring pattern according to claim 1 , wherein in the surface layer removing step, an alkaline solution is brought into contact with the base layer. 7 . The method for manufacturing a wiring pattern according to claim 1 , wherein the catalyst for electroless plating comprises at least one of palladium, copper, nickel, iron, platinum, and silver. 8 . The method for manufacturing a wiring pattern according to claim 1 , wherein in the base layer forming step, the base layer is formed on a substrate comprising a resin material. 9 . The method for manufacturing a wiring pattern according to claim 8 , wherein the base layer forming step, the surface layer removing step, and the plating layer forming step are performed at a temperature lower than a softening point of the substrate. 10 . A method for manufacturing a conductive film, wherein the conductive film is manufactured by using the method for manufacturing a wiring pattern according to claim 1 . 11 . A method for manufacturing a transistor comprising a gate electrode, a source electrode, a drain electrode, a semiconductor layer, and a gate insulating layer, wherein at least one of the gate electrode, the source electrode, and the drain electrode is manufactured by the method for manufacturing a wiring pattern according to claim 1 .
