  • Publication number: 20120222805
    Abstract: The present invention provides a manufacturing method for efficiently and stably forming a pattern on a thin-film substrate. A thin-film substrate, a tackiness adhesive sheet for thin-film substrate fixing, and a hard substrate are laminated in this order and a porous base material functioning as a core material of the tackiness adhesive sheet for thin-film substrate fixing has bore holes. Therefore, even if preliminary heating and drying is not applied, air bubbles are not generated between the thin-film substrate and the tackiness adhesive sheet for fixing during pattern formation on the thin-film substrate. This makes it possible to stably and efficiently form a pattern.
