A liquid is supplied to a substrate and a chip component is arranged on the liquid. The substrate includes a first surface in which a rectangular mounting region is formed. The chip component includes a second surface having a rectangular shape which substantially coincides with the shape of the mounting region, and has an area substantially equal to that of the mounting region. The mounting region includes first and second regions. Wettability of the first region with respect to the liquid is higher than that of the second region with respect to the liquid. The first region is provided symmetrically with respect to a first central line passing through the middle of a pair of long sides and a second central line passing through the middle of a pair of short sides in the mounting region, and includes rectangular partial regions. The liquid is supplied to the first region.
