A method of forming a metal fine particle pattern including forming a
polymerization initiation layer on a support, wherein a polymer which
has, in its side chain, a cross-linking group and a functional group
having the ability to initiate polymerization is fixed by a cross-linking
reaction, forming a graft polymer region in a pattern on the surface of
the polymerization initiation layer, wherein the graft polymer layer has
the ability to contain a metal ion or a metal salt, adding a metal ion or
a metal salt to the graft polymer layer, and thereafter reducing the
metal ion or a metal ion in the metal salt to form a metal fine particle
dispersion region; and a method of forming an electroconductive pattern
using the method of forming a metal fine particle pattern.
