Provided is a mounting method making it possible to, when an object such as an element, or more particularly, a microscopic object is mounted on a substrate, achieve mounting readily and reliably with high positional precision by: forming an element holding layer 12 , which is made of a material whose viscosity can be controlled, on a substrate 11 ; controlling the viscosity of a first part 12 a of the element holding layer 12 , which includes a mounting region for an element, into a viscosity making the element naturally movable, and controlling the viscosity of a second part 12 b of the element holding layer 12 outside the first part 12 a into a viscosity making the element naturally immovable; and after mounting one element 13 in the first part 12 a , controlling the viscosity of the first part 12 a into the viscosity making the element 13 naturally immovable. |
