Abstract

A circuit board, which comprises an insulating substrate, a copper wiring having a coarsely roughened surface provided on the insulating substrate, and a copper oxide-reduced layer provided on the coarsely roughened surface of the copper wiring and formed by reduction of copper oxide and electroless plating, the copper oxide-reduced layer having a finely roughed surface and having a deposited layer of at least one of nickel and cobalt, where the copper oxide-reduced layer having a deposited layer of at least one of nickel and cobalt on the surface is roughened in a range of 0.05 to 5 .mu.m in terms of a maximum vertical distance between the top of convex parts and the bottom of concave parts of the copper oxide-reduced layer per .mu.m of the longitudinal distance of the copper oxide-reduced layer, and at least one of nickel and cobalt is deposited in an amount of 5.times.10.sup.-7 to 1.times.10.sup.-4 g/cm.sup.2 on the copper oxide-reduced layer, has a high adhesiveness to an insulating resin.
