Patent ID: 7985694

Claim:
A method for forming a pattern comprising the steps of: forming an electrically conductive film by applying a liquid composition onto a first plate, the liquid composition including an organic solvent and conductive particles surface-modified with a fatty acid or an aliphatic amine; forming a second pattern being a reverse pattern of a first pattern on the first plate by pressing a second plate having a concave-convex pattern on a surface thereof on a surface of the first plate having the electrically conductive film formed thereon and transferring the first pattern of the electrically conductive film onto convex top faces of the second plate; and transferring the second pattern onto a surface of a layer on a transfer substrate by pressing the surface of the first plate having the second pattern onto the layer on the surface of the transfer substrate, wherein, the layer on the transfer substrate comprises a material having higher adhesiveness to the electrically conductive film than that of the second plate.
