Abstract
Abstract According to the present invention, a circuit board for mounting electronic components wherein a metal layer united with a substrate layer has a predetermined portion exposed is manufactured by: (1) arranging a mask between the substrate layer and a part of the metal layer to become the exposed part, and thereafter unitizing the substrate layer with the metal layer; (2) projecting a laser beam onto that part of the substrate layer on the metal layer which surrounds the mask, in a direction from a side of the substrate layer to a side of the metal layer, thereby to cut away the part of the substrate layer surrounding the mask; and (3) stripping off that part of the substrate layer which remains on the mask, together with the mask.
