Abstract

A method for manufacturing a conductive thin film patterned substrate which is capable of being practiced at a reduced cost without causing environmental pollution while eliminating any troublesome after-treatment. An insulating substrate made of glass or the like is formed thereon with an InSnO, SnSbO, ZnAlO or Al thin film. Then, a phosphate low-softening glass paste layer is formed on the thin film. A portion of the thin film contiguous to an insulating layer made of the low-softening glass paste melts into a glass region to form an insulating layer region, so that a conductive thin film region may be patterned as electrodes.
