Abstract

A printed circuit board is made from a substrate having a copper clad layer thereon by means of first providing spaced through-holes through the substrate, mechanically scrubbing the surface of the substrate and then sputter etching the surface of the substrate so as to remove at least 50A. thereof from the surface and then vacuum metallizing the through-holes subsequent to sputter etching without breaking the vacuum and then finally forming a circuit pattern on the substrate by usual subtractive techniques.
