Abstract:
1. A pattern forming method using a pattern forming system that includes a feeding reel for feeding a tape form substrate that is wound up, a winding reel for winding up the tape form substrate that is fed up, and a droplet discharge apparatus for discharging a droplet onto the tape form substrate, between the feeding reel and the winding reel, to form a pattern, the method comprising: affixing the tape form substrate to a table portion of the droplet discharge apparatus by suction, dissolving the pulling strength generated in the longitudinal direction of the tape form substrate, wherein the pulling strength is dissolved by moving a first roller placed on a slack portion of the tape form substrate, adjusting the position of the tape form substrate by moving the table portion, fixing the tape form substrate to the table portion by moving a second roller to prevent a slack of the tape form substrate from affecting the table portion, and forming the pattern by discharging a droplet on the tape form substrate using the droplet discharge apparatus.
