Abstract
A circuit board is manufactured by a method having the steps of depositing a metal pattern on a ceramic board, depositing a thin layer of a high polymer material on the ceramic board formed with the metal pattern, depositing a protective layer of a high polymer material on the thin layer of the high polymer material, and directing a laser beam toward and onto the protective layer and the thin layer deposited on a plating region of the metal pattern and a cutting region of the ceramic board thereby selectively removing part of those layers. The laser beam has a wavelength range of from 150 nm to 400 nm, an energy density range of from 0.5 J/cm.sup.2 to 5.0 J/cm.sup.2, and a pulse width range of from 100 ps to 1 .mu.s.
