Abstract
Provided is a method of fabricating a metal nanowire heater, the method including a coating step of coating, on a substrate, a coating film containing laser-etchable and low-melting-point metal nanowires, a thermal joining step of enhancing connection between contact parts of the metal nanowires due to a chemical and physical action occurring when an ionic liquid is phase-changed, by supplying the ionic liquid onto the coating film and applying heat from outside, and an electrode forming step of forming electrodes on the coating film.
