Abstract

A printed circuit board having a plurality of bumps that serve for connection terminals, the bumps being formed by covering the printed circuit except portions where the bumps are to be formed, applying an electroplating onto the uncovered bump-forming portions on the printed circuit maintaining a thickness nearly equal to that of the covering, applying thereon a non-electrolytic plating and electroplating on the whole surface from the surfaces of the bump-forming portions to the surfaces of the covered portions, and removing the platings by etching from the surface except the bump portions.
