Abstract
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. According to this invention, it is possible to provide a printed circuit board of higher reliability compared with conventional processes.
