Abstract: To provide copper particulate dispersion capable of forming a conductive film having favorable adhesiveness on an inorganic substrate by photo-sintering. The copper particulate dispersion includes a dispersion vehicle and copper particulates RUM The copper particulates are dispersed into the dispersion vehicle. The copper particulate dispersion includes an adhesion improvement agent for improving adhesiveness between a conductive film formed on a substrate by photo-sintering the copper particulate and the substrate. The substrate is an inorganic substrate. The adhesion improvement agent is a compound containing a phosphorus atom. Thus, the adhesion improvement agent improves adhesiveness between the conductive film and the inorganic substrate.

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.
