Abstract: Provided is a temperature sensor film comprising a metal-thin film patterned on a resin film substrate, and having high temperature measurement accuracy. A conductive film (102) that is used for producing a temperature sensor film has a nickel thin film (10) on one principal surface of a resin film substrate (50). It is preferable that the interplanar spacing of nickel (111) plane in the nickel thin-film is less than 0.2040 nm. The temperature sensor film is obtained by patterning the nickel thin film to form a temperature-measuring resistance part and a lead part connected to the temperature-measuring resistance part.

Abstract: An electroconductive film (101) comprises a metal thin-film (10) on a first main surface of a flexible substrate (40) that includes a resin film (5). The thickness of the flexible substrate is 1 mm or less. The absolute value |H2?H1| of the difference between the heating dimensional change rate H1 of the electroconductive film and the heating dimensional change rate H2 of a film obtained by removing the metal thin-film from the electroconductive film is preferably 0.10% or less. There is a tendency that undulation of a temperature sensor film after patterning of the metal thin-film is further suppressed as the value of |H2?H1| decreases.
