A functional device fabrication apparatus is provided for forming a wiring
pattern or an electronic device on a substrate using paper or paper-based
material by depositing solid content of a solution on the substrate. The
functional device fabrication apparatus includes a jet head. The jet head
jets the solution including electronic function material onto the
substrate as dot patterns. The jet head includes a device for dispensing
a droplet of the solution from the jet head. A drive signal applied to
the device is configured to cause the droplet jetted by the device to
have a specific shape before impacting a face of the substrate.
