Abstract
An object of the present invention is to implement a method for aligning microscopic structures in desired locations and in a desired direction, in order to align microscopic structures, such as nanostructures, with high precision. The method includes a substrate forming step of forming three electrodes to which independent potentials can be applied, a microscopic structure liquid applying step of applying a liquid in which microscopic structures are dispersed to the insulating substrate, and a microscopic structure aligning step of applying respective voltages to the three electrodes to align the microscopic structures in locations defined by the electrodes.
