Abstract
Abstract A wiring board is fabricated through the following steps: (A) forming, on one side of an elongated carrier metal foil made of a first metal, a thin layer with a second metal whose etching conditions are different from those of the first metal; (B) forming, on a surface of the thin layer, a desired wiring pattern with a third metal whose etching conditions are different from those of the second metal; (C) superposing the carrier metal foil on an insulating substrate with the side of the wiring pattern being positioned inside, whereby the wiring pattern is embedded in the insulating substrate; and (D) etching off the carrier metal foil and the thin layer at desired parts thereof.

A process for the fabrication of a wiring board, which comprises the following steps: (A) forming, on one side of a continuous carrier metal foil made of a first metal, a thin layer of a second metal whose etching conditions are different from those of the first metal; (B) forming, on a surface of the thin layer of the second metal, a desired wiring pattern of a third metal whose etching conditions are different from those of the second metal and, concurrently with the formation of the desired wiring pattern, forming a location pattern, which is to be used as a reference for etching off desired parts of the carrier metal foil of the first metal in a subsequent step (D), on the opposite side of the carrier metal foil of the side on which the thin layer of the second metal is formed; (C) superposing and pressing the carrier metal foil, which carries the desired wiring pattern formed thereon, on and against an insulating substrate with said wiring pattern facing said insulating substrate to embed the wiring pattern in said insulating substrate; and (D) etching off the carrier metal foil of the first metal at the desired parts thereof and the thin layer of the second metal at predetermined parts thereof.
