Claim:
1. A copper particulate dispersion comprising copper particulates, at least one kind of a dispersion vehicle containing the copper particulates, and at least one kind of dispersant which allows the copper particulates to disperse in the dispersion vehicle, wherein the copper particulates have a center particle diameter of 1 nm or more and less than 100 nm, concentration of the copper particulates is 1% by weight or more and 80% by weight or less based on the copper particulate dispersion, the dispersion vehicle is a polar dispersion vehicle which contains at least one of a protic dispersion vehicle and an aprotic polar dispersion vehicle having a dielectric constant of 30 or more, the protic dispersion vehicle is a linear or branched alkyl compound or alkenyl compound of 5 or more and 30 or less carbon atoms, which has one hydroxyl group, or a linear or branched alkyl compound or alkenyl compound of 2 or more and 30 or less carbon atoms, which has 2 or more and 6 or less hydroxyl groups, the aprotic polar dispersion vehicle is selected from the group consisting of propylene carbonate, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methyl pyrrolidone and γ-butyrolactone, the dispersant is a compound having at least one acidic functional group, which has a molecular weight of 200 or more and 100,000 or less, or a salt thereof, concentration of the dispersant is 0.5% by weight or more and 50% by weight or less based on the copper particulate dispersion, and the acidic functional group of the dispersant is selected from the group consisting of a phosphoric acid group, a phosphonic acid group, a sulfonic acid group and a sulfuric acid group.
