With an interconnected fabrication step using the prior art photolithography, major portions of resist, interconnected material, and process gas necessary during plasma processing are wasted. Furthermore, a pumping means such as a vacuum system is necessary. Therefore, the whole equipment is increased in size. Consequently, as the processed substrate is increased in size, the manufacturing cost is increased. Accordingly, a means consisting of directly spraying the resist and interconnected material as liquid drops on necessary locations over the substrate to delineate a pattern is applied. Also, a means consisting of performing a chemical vapor deposition process such as ashing or etching at or near atmospheric pressure is applied.
