Patent ID: 7704783

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a conductive pattern, comprising the steps of: (i) forming a molecular film of at least one kind of molecule on a part of a conductive film by placing, on the conductive film, a solution in which the at least one kind of molecule has been dissolved, the one kind of molecule being selected from the group consisting of a molecule that is expressed by Formula (1): CF 3 (CF 2 ) n (CH 2 ) m SH (1), where n indicates a natural number in a range of 3 to 7 while m denotes a natural number in a range of 8 to 18; and a molecule that is expressed by Formula (2): CF 3 (CF 2 ) p (CH 2 ) q SS(CH 2 ) q′ (CF 2 ) p′ CF 3 (2), where p and p′ each are a natural number in a range of 3 to 7 independently while q and q′ each are a natural number in a range of 8 to 18 independently, and (ii) removing the conductive film located in a part where the molecular film has not been formed, by bringing the conductive film into contact with an etchant for the conductive film.
