Abstract
The metal thin film production method of the present invention includes, in the following order, the steps of: preparing a substrate () having thereon an underlayer () formed of an insulating resin; subjecting a surface of the underlayer () to a physical surface treatment for breaking bonds of organic molecules constituting the insulating resin; subjecting the substrate () to a heat treatment at a temperature of 200° C. or lower; applying a metal nanoparticle ink to the underlayer (); and sintering metal nanoparticles contained in the metal nanoparticle ink at a temperature equal to or higher than a glass transition temperature of the underlayer (). A fused layer () having a thickness of 100 nm or less is formed between the underlayer () and a metal thin film () formed by sintering the metal nanoparticles.
