Abstract
A desired circuit wiring pattern is formed by plating a conductive layer having excellent resistance at least to an etching solution on a metal layer which is removed in the post-process by etching. A surface protective layer having a hole for exposing part of the circuit wiring pattern is formed on both sides of the circuit wiring pattern at a predetermined position as an external connection terminal portion. The circuit wiring pattern can be formed in multiple layers by coating the conductive layer with a circuit wiring layer of another conductive material and a bump is formed to fill the hole as required.
