ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for producing a linear pattern having a width less than 100 microns and a resistivity of the order of 10.sup.-6 .OMEGA..multidot.cm on a substrate includes a tank for maintaining a low melting point metal in a fused state and having a narrow passage for flow of the fused metal, a drawing head having a fine groove connected to the narrow passage of the tank, and a tip close to or in contact with a substrate, the fused metal flowing to the tip of the drawing head through the groove by capillary action for application to the surface of the substrate.
