Patent ID: 6977130

Claim:
A method of manufacturing an electronic circuit, comprising at least one of forming a first pattern and forming a second pattern, forming the first pattern comprising: forming an electrostatic latent image in a predetermined pattern on a first photosensitive base; forming a first visible image on the first photosensitive base on which the electrostatic latent image is formed, by bringing charged particles essentially made of resin into electrostatic adhesion with the first photosensitive base; transferring the first visible image formed on the first photosensitive base onto a first intermediate transfer base, by bringing the first visible image into contact with and pressing the first visible image onto the first intermediate transfer base; forming an integrated resin layer by heating the first visible image transferred onto the first intermediate transfer base to soften the resin constituting the charged particles; and transferring the integrated resin layer onto a first base material by bringing the resin layer into contact with and pressing the resin layer onto the first base material, and forming the second pattern comprising: forming an electrostatic latent image in a predetermined pattern on a second photosensitive base; forming a second visible image on the second photosensitive base on which the electrostatic latent image is formed, by bringing metal-containing charged particles essentially made of resin and containing metal particulates into electrostatic adhesion with the second photosensitive base; transferring the second visible image formed on the second photosensitive base onto a second intermediate transfer base, by bringing the second visible image into contact with and pressing the second visible image onto the second intermediate transfer base; forming an integrated metal-containing resin layer by heating the second visible image transferred onto the second intermediate transfer base to soften the resin constituting the metal-containing charged particles; transferring the metal-containing resin layer onto a second base material by bringing the metal-containing resin layer into contact with and pressing the metal-containing resin layer onto the second base material; and forming a conductor metal layer by electroless plating on the metal-containing resin layer transferred onto the second base material.
