Abstract:
Provided is a copper particulate dispersion that can facilitate the formation of a conductive film with low electric resistance by photo-sintering. A copper particulate dispersion includes a dispersion vehicle and copper particulates dispersed in the dispersion vehicle. The copper particulate dispersion contains a sintering promoter. The sintering promoter is a compound that removes copper oxide from copper at a temperature higher than ambient temperature. The sintering promoter thereby removes surface oxide coatings from the copper particulates during the photo-sintering of the copper particulates.
