Abstract

In a first process, an electrically conductive thin metal plate is subjected to a press molding process employing a plurality of punches in a primary molding block and a plurality of dies in a secondary molding block , so as to form therein a plurality of hollow projections that project from one side of the metal plate , and bulges that bulge out in a direction opposite to that of the projections , positioned between the projections . In a second process, the metal plate on which have been formed the plurality of projections and bulges is subjected to either chemical etching or electrolytic etching, so as to form through holes by corrosively removing thin-walled portions from the tips of the projections , and, at the same time, to corrosively form innumerable fine irregularities over the entire surface of the metal plate
