Abstract
A method of manufacturing an electroconductive film subject to edge curl due to volume contraction after baking includes sequentially repeating a film-forming step of forming a film containing a photosensitive material and an electroconductive material therein and an exposure step of irradiating a light onto a desired region of the film for a plurality of times to laminate the films. The latent images of the respective layers are integrated. The resulting latent image is developed by removing a non-latent image region of the laminate film after the laminate film is formed. Finally, the developed image is baked. The sequential repetition of the film-forming step and the exposure step act to counteract edge curl formed by volume contraction after baking.
