Patent ID: 6872646

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a conductive pattern substrate, comprising: forming a concave-convex layer on a substrate by positioning a first substrate on a second substrate with a curing resin composition therebetween, curing the curing resin composition, and peeling the first substrate and the second substrate apart, wherein the second substrate includes a pattern layer defined by the presence or absence of a light shielding material, the first substrate and the second substrate are positioned such that the pattern layer faces the first substrate, and the concave-convex layer comprises concave portion corresponding to a portion of the pattern layer with the light shielding material and convex portion corresponding to a portion of the pattern layer without the light shielding material; forming a conductive thin layer on the concave-convex layer by a gas phase method, the thin layer located on a top portion of the convex portion and on a bottom portion of the concave portion; laminating a layer of photosensitive resin composition on the thin layer such that the concave-convex layer is flattened; exposing the photosensitive resin layer via a light shielding pattern substrate having a pattern which is identical to the pattern layer of the pattern substrate; developing the photosensitive resin layer to remove the photosensitive resin composition on either the at least one convex portion or the at least one concave portion, thereby baring a portion of the conductive thin layer; and forming a conductive pattern by plating the portion of the conductive thin layer with a metal.
