Patent ID: 8809075

Claim:
A method for filling a liquid material, which is ejected from an ejection device, into a gap between a substrate and a workpiece placed on the substrate by utilizing a capillary phenomenon, the method comprising: a step of preparing an application pattern made up of a plurality of successive application regions; an ejection cycle assigning step of assigning a plurality of ejection cycles, in each of which the number of ejection pulses and the number of pause pulses are combined at a predetermined ratio, to each of the application regions; a correction amount calculating step of measuring, at a preset correction cycle, an ejection amount of the liquid material ejected from the ejection device at timing of the correction cycle, and calculating a correction amount for the ejection amount; and an ejection amount correcting step including a step of adjusting the number of ejection pulses and the number of pause pulses, which are included in the application pattern, on the basis of the correction amount calculated in the correction amount calculating step, and/or a step of adjusting at least a length of one of the application regions and a length of another one or other two application regions, which are present continuously to the one application region, without changing respective ejection amounts per unit time in the individual application regions.
