A pattern forming method comprises at least a lower pattern forming step for printing a setting ink on a substrate, a setting step for setting the setting ink, an upper layer pattern forming step for forming a metalo-organic compound paste layer on the lower layer pattern by a printing method, and a firing step for firing at high temperature to remove the lower layer pattern. In the upper layer pattern forming step, the metalo-organic compound paste is printed so that the metalo-organic compound paste may be divided on the hardened setting ink so as to fill up gaps of the lower layer pattern. Otherwise the metalo-organic compound paste is printed on the hardened setting ink, and the metalo-organic compound paste is mechanically cut off, before the metalo-organic compound paste is dried, on the hardened setting ink, thereby forming an upper layer pattern. The setting ink comprises a thermo-setting resin, a setting agent, and an organic solvent, with an amount of nonvolatile materials of 50 to 70 wt. %, or comprises a carbon powder, a thermo-setting resin, a setting agent and an organic solvent, with an amount of nonvolatile materials of 60 to 80 wt. %.

A circuit board that is made compact or highly dense and can be prepared using no chemical etching is obtained by patternwise printing a sinterable conductor on a releasing substrate, sintering the conductor by heating at a given temperature, and transferring the sintered conductor to a resin support. A plurality of sintered conductors each prepared by the above process may be laminated to give a multi-layered circuit board.

The invention provides a method for evaluating the safety of a battery under an internal short-circuit condition. The battery includes: an electrode group including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an insulating layer for electrically insulating the electrodes, which are wound or laminated; an electrolyte; a housing for housing the electrode group and the electrolyte; and a current-collecting terminal for electrically connecting the electrode group and the housing. The method of the invention includes: placing a foreign object at a location inside the electrode group of the battery where the positive electrode and the negative electrode face each other; and pressing the location by the pressure applied by a pressing tool to locally crush the insulating layer between the positive and negative electrodes, thereby causing an internal short-circuit. The contact area of the electrode group and the pressing tool during the pressing is larger than the area of a rectangle circumscribed about the foreign object. A short-circuit test is conducted at a given location inside the battery to comprehensively evaluate the safety of the battery under an internal short-circuit condition.
