  • Publication number: 20250142732
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a conductive line repairing method, which at least includes the following steps: a placing step, in which an object having at least one line breaking site is placed on a platform unit of a jet-coating module; a jetting step, in which the jet-coating module is operated to jet and coat a conductive material on the line breaking site; and a solidifying step, in which a solidifying module is operated to have the conductive material solidified, wherein the conductive material, after the solidification, makes the line breaking site conducting. In present invention, the conductive material is jetted and coated on the line breaking site of the object and then solidified to repair a circuit having the line breaking site and to resume the function of electrical conduction thereof to thereby reduce rejected products and restore production yield, achieving an effect of environmental protection.
