A method of manufacturing an electronic circuit satisfying demands for cost reduction,
diversified small-quantity production, and a shorter cycle of design, manufacture,
evaluation, correction, and so on is provided. The method includes at least forming
a first pattern or forming a second pattern. Forming the first pattern comprises:
forming a visible image on an electrostatic latent image formed on a photosensitive
base, by the adhesion of charged particles essentially made of a resin; transferring
the visible image onto the intermediate transfer base by the contact and pressurization
of the visible image; heating/softening on the intermediate transfer base; and
transferring a heated/softened resin layer onto a base material by the contact
and pressurization of the resin layer. In forming the second pattern, using charged
particles containing conductive metal particulates, a conductor metal layer is
formed by electroless plating after a metal-containing resin pattern is transferred
similarly to the first pattern formation.
