The invention provides a method for forming a pattern with a high density and high precision in a short time, and a green sheet. A green sheet (4G) is heated by a rubber heater (H) disposed on an objective table (24). Then, the green sheet is heated to a temperature more than a temperature of the functional fluid during discharging and less than a boiling point of the droplet. In the heating condition, the droplet discharge nozzle (30) discharges droplets onto the green sheet (4G). Droplets dropped on the green sheet (4G) dries quickly without generating bump.
