A fabrication method for submicrometer‐wide electric conductive patterns using Ag nanoparticle/polymer composites on furan‐functionalized substrates (see Figure) is reported. A 180 nm wide (full width at half maximum) photofabricated pattern has been achieved, well below the wavelength of incident light. After annealing at 200 °C for 40 min, the pattern worked as an electric wire with a resistivity of ∼8 × 10 –4 Ω cm.
