Abstract

This method for producing a structure wherein base materials are bonded by atomic diffusion comprises: a step for applying a liquid resin on the base material; a step for smoothing the surface of the liquid resin by surface tension; a step for forming a resin layer by curing; a step for forming a metal thin film on the resin layer; a step for forming a metal thin film on the base material; and a step for bringing the metal thin film of the base material and the metal thin film of the base material into close contact with each other, thereby bonding the metal thin film of the resin layer and the metal thin film of the base material with each other by atomic diffusion.
