1. A method for producing an electrically conduction pattern on a substrate, comprising:
- maintaining a first low melting point metal in a fused state;
applying, by capillary action, said fused first low melting point metal to a tip of a drawing head disposed close to or in contact with a substrate;
applying said fused first low melting point metal to the substrate in a first linear pattern including lines having a width less than 100 microns while moving the tip of said drawing head relative to the substrate;
cooling and solidifying said first low melting point metal in the first linear pattern on the substrate;
maintaining a second low melting point metal in a fused state, the second low melting point metal having a lower melting point than the first low melting point metal;
applying, by capillary action, said fused second low melting point metal to the tip of the drawing head disposed close to the substrate;
applying said fused second low melting point metal to the substrate in a second linear pattern intersecting the first linear pattern; and
cooling and solidifying said second low melting point metal in the second linear pattern on the substrate.

Abstract
A method for producing a linear pattern having a width less than 100 microns and a resistivity of the order of 10-6 Ω·cm on a substrate includes maintaining a low melting point metal in a fused state, applying the fused metal to a tip of a drawing head disposed close to or in contact with a substrate by capillary action, applying the fused metal to the substrate in a line with a width less than 100 microns while moving the tip of the drawing head relative to the substrate, and cooling and solidifying the fused metal as a linear pattern on the substrate.
