A method for producing an electronic device capable of connecting an electronic component precisely with a high-density circuit pattern includes applying a solution wherein conductive nanoparticles with a particle diameter of less than 1 m and an insulating material are dispersed, or applying a solution wherein the conductive nanoparticles are coated with an insulating material layer, to a surface of an optically transparent substrate in a desired shape. A film of the conductive nanoparticles coated with the insulating material is formed. The electronic component is mounted on the film. The film is irradiated with light from a backside surface of the optically transparent substrate, and the light sinters the conductive nanoparticles. Accordingly, a first circuit pattern connected to electrodes of the electronic component is formed, and the first circuit pattern is adhered to the electrodes of the electronic component.

A structure including at least one electrical line on one surface of the structure, one electrically conductive layer of the line resulting from deposition of an electrically conductive material via a cold spraying method, and the line includes a protective bonding layer on which the electrically conductive material is deposited via the cold spraying method, the protective bonding layer forming a continuous protective shield between the structure and the cold-sprayed material. An insulating layer is advantageously located between the structure and the protective bonding layer. Achieving an electrical line on a surface of the structure involves implementing a step of oxy-fuel flame spraying of a protective material to form a protective bonding layer, followed by a step of cold spraying of the electrically conductive material of the electrically conductive layer onto the protective bonding layer.

The melt is pressed against the substrate in a nip, wherein a surface temperature of a portion of the nip that comes against the melt is lower than said characteristic melting point.
