Abstract

A method for forming a conductor pattern comprising the steps of (a) forming a photo-crosslinkable resin layer on a substrate provided with a conductive layer on its surface, (b) treating the photo-crosslinkable resin layer with an alkali aqueous solution to render it thinner, (c) carrying out exposure for a circuit pattern, (d) developing and (e) etching, the steps included in this order, said alkali aqueous solution being an aqueous solution containing 5 to 20 mass % of an inorganic alkaline compound, or method for forming a conductor pattern comprising the steps of (a′) forming a photo-crosslinkable resin layer on a substrate provide with a conductive layer on its surface and inside a hole thereof, (i) curing the photo-crosslinkable resin layer on the hole alone or on the hole and a surrounding area thereof, (b′) treating the photo-crosslinkable resin layer in an uncured portion with an alkali aqueous solution to render it thinner, (c) carrying out exposure for a circuit pattern, (d) developing and (e) etching, these steps included in this order, said alkali aqueous solution being an aqueous solution containing 5 to 20 mass % of an inorganic alkaline compound.
