An anisotropic conductive film is capable of preventing a short circuit between terminals even though narrowing of the interval between connecting terminals advances. An electrically conductive support plate supports a base film having one surface with an adhesive layer. An array plate is disposed to face the adhesive layer and has through holes arranged in a pattern corresponding to the array pattern of electrically conductive particles. A spray sprays the electrically conductive particles together with a liquid while applying a voltage to the electrically conductive particles, in which the electrically conductive particles which are charged with an electrical charge are sprayed together with a liquid from the spray while applying a voltage between the spray and the support plate and the electrically conductive particles which have passed through the through holes of the array plate are arranged on the adhesive layer in the array pattern of the through holes.

A method for circuit fabrication includes defining a locus of a conductive trace to be formed on a circuit substrate. Molten droplets of a metal are ejected from a donor substrate in proximity to the circuit substrate onto the defined locus by a process of laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT), whereby the droplets adhere to and harden on the circuit substrate along a length of the defined locus. After the droplets have hardened, a laser beam is directed toward the defined locus with sufficient energy to cause the metal in the hardened droplets to melt and coalesce into a bulk layer extending along the length of the defined locus.
