Is output to the image monitor 195 via the repair mechanism 1
The state of the quadrangle region associated with the scanning operation of 3 is displayed.
The user observes the image on the image monitor 195 and specifies the conductive pattern including the defective portion 113. This conductive pattern is specified by using the cursor on the screen of the image monitor 195 and designating the start point a and the end point b as shown in FIG. These designated data of the image monitor 195 are converted into a start point XY coordinate and an end point XY coordinate by the control means 191 and stored in a memory (not shown). In this case, when the conductive pattern including the defective portion is a curve, the cursor on the image monitor 195 is moved along the conductive pattern from the start point a to the end point b so that the distance between the start and end points is increased. The travel route can be stored in memory.

Path State Recognition Operation When the start and end points and the moving path relating to the repair of the conductor pattern 112 having a defective portion are recognized, the apparatus measures the path state of the conductor pattern 112. As shown in FIG. 2, after the displacement sensor 15 is positioned at the starting point a, it is moved along the conductor pattern 12 to the end point b while maintaining its height measurement state. Thereby, the height of the conductor pattern 112 to be repaired can be measured. FIG. 3 is a plot of the measurement results of the displacement sensor 15 between the start and end points ab. The depressed portion at the center coincides with the defective portion 113. The apparatus recognizes and stores the respective XY coordinates of the depression start position and the depression end position from this height data, as repair data described later.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the conductive ink jet pen 161 is actuated to repair the conductor pattern 112 during the stop time between the moving steps while moving the repair mechanism 13 step by step to the depression end position. In this case, it is desirable that the ejection amount of the conductive ink be proportional to the amount of depression of the defective portion 113 in the measurement data of FIG. As a result, the thickness of the conductor pattern in the repaired portion can be made equal to that of the conductor pattern 12 not involved in repairing. In addition, adjustment of the injection amount in this case,
In this embodiment, the number of injections per step stop time is increased or decreased. Further, in this case, when the repair operation is completed, the displacement sensor 1
5 is scanned to obtain height data of the defective portion 13 again,
It may be possible to confirm whether the repair has been performed to the same thickness.
