Abstract

PURPOSE:To automate a manufacturing process, and to obtain an excellent substrate by forming a conductive layer onto the surface of a flexible film through plating treatment, shaping a circuit pattern through etching and coating the circuit pattern with an insulating coat. CONSTITUTION:The surface of a film 5 is chemically plated with nickel through electroless plating, thus shaping a foundation layer 8. The surface of the foundation layer 8 is electrically plated with copper, using the foundation layer 8 as an electrode, thus forming a conductive layer 9. A resist is printed in response to the wiring of a circuit, and exposure and etching work such as the removal of an unnecessary section are executed, thus shaping a wiring pattern 6. The surface of a contact section 7a for a terminal section 7 is plated with tin, and a reinforcing film 10 is stuck onto the underside of the film 5 in the terminal section 7. An insulating coat 11 is stuck onto the surface of the conductive layer 9 with adhesives 12. Accordingly, a manufacturing process is automated, and an excellent substrate is acquired.

[Problems to be solved by the prior art and the invention] In recent years, in order to miniaturize electronic devices, circuit boards have also become smaller and have become more dense with double-sided circuits or multilayer structures. For this reason, there is a demand for thinner circuit boards, connection cables, etc., and flexible film-like circuit boards called FPC boards are often used. A conventional method for manufacturing an FPC board will be explained with reference to FIG. 4 attached hereto. A copper conductive layer (2) is attached to the surface of a polyimide resin +1) which is a polymer film using a heat-resistant adhesive (3). A circuit pattern is provided by etching the conductive layer (2), and an insulating coat (4) is adhered to the surface thereof. The FPC board formed in this way has advantages such as being flexible, so it can be bent and attached, and being extremely heat resistant, it can be soldered directly to terminals. However, the polyimide resin (1) material is expensive, and the process of adhering the conductive layer (2) increases the cost when manufacturing the FPC board. Therefore, technical problems arise that must be solved in order to manufacture FPC boards at low cost.
