Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a double-sided wiring substrate wherein wiring patterns having a low resistivity are formed on both surfaces of a substrate. A pin hole is formed in a thin insulating film having excellent durability by a pin. A thin metal film is formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the insulating film and the inner wall of the pin hole by vacuum deposition. A thick metal film is formed on the entire thin metal film by electroplating. Thereafter, portions of the thin and the thick metal films formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the insulating film are etched while leaving a portion of them on the inner wall of the pin hole. Conductive patterns each having a layered structure of the thin and the thick metal films are thus formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate.

Claim 3
Independent Claim
111 words
A method of manufacturing a double-sided wiring substrate comprising the steps of: forming a hole in an insulating film by a pin; forming a thin metal film on upper and lower surfaces of said insulating film and an inner wall of the hole by deposition; forming a thick metal film on said thin metal film by plating; covering a portion of said thick metal film formed on said upper and lower surfaces of said insulating film and said thin metal film formed on said inner wall of the hole with an etching resist; and etching portions of said thick and thin metal films which are not covered with said etching resist.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
111 words
A method of manufacturing a double-sided wiring substrate comprising the steps of: forming a hole in an insulating film by a pin; forming a thin metal film on upper and lower surfaces of said insulating film and an inner wall of the hole by deposition; forming a thick metal film on said thin metal film by plating; covering a portion of said thick metal film formed on said upper and lower surfaces of said insulating film and said thin metal film formed on said inner wall of the hole with an etching resist; and etching portions of said thick and thin metal films which are not covered with said etching resist.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
A method according to claim 2, further comprising the step of rolling said thick metal film formed on a periphery of the pin hole inside the hole after said thick metal film is formed.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
