らnるべき技術的問題点が生じてくるのである。[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.

電層を形成する為製造コストを低減することができる。In this invention, a conductive layer is provided on the surface of a flexible film by plating. Thereafter, a circuit pattern is formed by etching and covered with an insulating coat. That is, instead of the conventional process of attaching a copper conductive layer to the surface of the film with an adhesive, the conductive layer is formed through a plating process, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

The production of C can also be done by -times of plating process, reducing the number of processes.
It can contribute to cost reduction.

It has a thickness of 4A degrees and is highly flexible, and has high heat resistance because it uses polyimide resin as the material for the film (51). It has sufficient strength to withstand even if it is fixed by pressure welding or soldering to the conductive layer (9).In addition, since the conductive layer (9) is formed by plating, it is easy to form through holes. Yes, as shown in Figure 3, even if conductive layers (9) and 19) are provided on both sides of the film (5) to form a double-sided board, through-holes should be drilled at appropriate locations in advance. By doing so, while maintaining flexibility,
It is also possible to conduct the upper and lower wiring patterns (61 (6)).
