The knife-shaped elongate projections may include rod-shaped projections much smaller than the knife-shaped projections projecting outwardly from the surface of the knife-shaped projections. The knife-shaped projections may be formed by electroless plating and the rod-shaped projections by oxidation and optionally reduction. Bonding strength is improved.

A process for producing a printed circuit board, which comprises the steps of forming a layer comprising a photosensitive resin composition on an insulating substrate having on its surface an adhesive layer adherent to a metal being subsequently plated thereon; exposing said layer comprising a photosensitive resin composition to an actinic radiation in a manner so as to form on said layer a negative pattern of a conductor circuit pattern and to semicure said negative pattern to an extent sufficient to keep it from erosion by a plating solution; developing by dissolving away with a solvent the uncured areas not exposed to said actinic radiation, thereby to form a plating resist on the areas of said negative pattern; chemically plating said conductor circuit pattern areas not covered with said plating resist, thereby to form a conductor circuit; and carrying out a curing treatment to cure completely said resist.

Printed circuit board, process for preparing the same and resist ink

This invention concerns a method for the manufacture of a printed wiring board which particularly proves useful as a printed coil. This method is characterized by the fact that in the work in process which has undergone the step for formation of a conductor circuit and which has not undergone the step for separation of a plating resist, the plating resist and other insulating substratal material are separated for transfer from the surface of the substrate having the conductor circuit formed thereon. Since this method permits formation of an extremely thin insulating layer and a conductor circuit layer thicker than the insulating layer, it enables production of very thin printed wiring board and printed coil having high circuit density in the surfaces of component layers as well as in the direction of superposition of component layers.

Further, blisters under plated film caused by a fire retardant contained in an insulating substrate is also overcome by the use of alkaline earth metal powder.
