Resin substrate having metal film pattern formed thereon

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for using a metal ion solution of low concentration to efficiently form a metal film pattern of excellent accuracy and reliable adhesion on a resin substrate. A resin substrate having a metal film pattern formed thereon is produced by a method that includes the following steps (a) to (e): (a) a step for pattern-printing of a latent image agent (2) onto the surface of a resin substrate (1) ; (b) a step for bringing the area imprinted with the latent image agent (2) into contact with a solution containing metal ions, and forming a metal salt (3); (c) a step for bringing the metal salt (3) into contact with an acidic treatment liquid containing a reducing agent, and reducing the metal salt; (d) a step for forming an electroless nickel plating film (5) on the area imprinted with the latent image agent; and (e) a step for precipitating an electroless copper plating (6) onto the surface of the nickel plating film (5).
