Abstract:
1. A method of forming a circuit pattern on a substrate, the method comprising steps of: checking an amount of satellites generated with a main droplet when the main droplet is ejected from a first head that ejects a conductive liquid; determining a maximum number of times of scanning that the first head can continuously scan based on a number of times of scanning that a short-circuit caused by connecting the satellites to each other does not occur; performing, for at most the determined maximum number of times of scanning, a step of forming a conductive pattern of at least one scan while scanning the first head and a substrate relative to each other, the first head ejecting onto the substrate droplets of a first solution for forming the conductive pattern; and performing, for a plurality of times, a step of forming an insulating pattern of at least one scan while scanning a second head and the substrate relative to each other, the second head ejecting onto the substrate droplets of a second solution for forming the insulating pattern.
