PATTERN FORMING METHOD AND MANUFACTURE OF IMAGE FORMING DEVICE USING THE METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently eliminate a short-circuit fault. SOLUTION: This pattern forming method includes a pattern forming process for forming, a cyclic arrangement of unit pattern with a conductor having electrically separated pattern portion 3 on a substrate and a short-circuit eliminating process for eliminating the short-circuiting state of a short-circuited substance out of the formed patterns of the pattern portion 3. The short- circuiting state is eliminated by applying a removal pattern 21 to the unit pattern which is disposed one or a plurality of standardized removal patterns 21 on the unit pattern in a fixed positional relation and a removal means is provided for removing, a defective part of the unit pattern overlapping with the removal pattern 21 by a physical working method.
