Abstract

A method for manufacturing a printed circuit board is to form on a top surface of an insulating substrate a layer of such plating ground as a metal film, to irradiate such electromagetic wave as a laser to a boundary edge zone of non-circuit parts with respect to circuit-printing parts on the insulating substrate in correspondence to a pattern of the non-circuit parts to remove the plating ground layer at the part irradiate by the electromagnetic wave with the plating ground layer at the non-irradiated part left as formed, and thereafter to form a plating on the surface of the plating ground layer at the non-irradiated parts, whereby it is enabled to allow the laser irradiation to be carried out only with respect to the boundary edge zone of the non-circuit parts, without irradiating all over the non-circuit parts.
