Abstract
An electronic device capable of supplying a large current to a circuit pattern containing conductive nanoparticles includes a substrate, a region provided on the substrate, configured to mount an electronic component therein, a first circuit pattern placed within the region and electrically connected to the electronic component, a second circuit pattern connected to the first circuit pattern and configured to supply current to the first circuit pattern from outside of the region. At least a part of the first circuit pattern includes a layer obtained by sintering conductive nanosized particles with a diameter of less than 1 μm. The second circuit pattern is thicker than the first circuit pattern.
