Abstract
The adhesion of electroless copper to a substrate (1) for a conductor pattern can be improved by applying a SiO.sub.2 layer (3) on which a thin metal pattern of, for example, TiW (51) is provided. Anchors are formed on the surface by subjecting the SiO.sub.2 layer to an underetching treatment. The electroless copper (9) grows around these anchors and, hence, adheres to the substrate.
