PURPOSE: A patterning method is provided to be capable of enabling efficiently and economically forming a pre-pattern. CONSTITUTION: A substrate is patterned by forming an indent region(8) in the surface(10) of a substrate(4) and depositing a liquid material onto the surface(10) at selected locations adjacent to the indent region(8). The liquid material spreads over the surface to an edge of the indent region, at which point further spreading is controlled by the effective enhancement of the contact angle of the liquid material relative to the surface as provided by the indent region.
