Abstract
Abstract Highly precise wiring formed on an insulating substrate can be obtained by electroless deposition without using a printing process. Said process is characterized by forming an adhesive layer containing a photo-setting substance on a substrate, exposing the adhesive layer to actinic light imagewisely so as to irradiate only portions other than those forming wiring, treating the surface of the substrate with a roughening solution so as to roughen the portions not exposed to actinic light, and subjecting to the conventional treatments for electroless deposition so as to form prescribed wiring on the portions not exposed to actinic light.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A process for forming printed wiring on an insulating substrate by using electroless deposition which comprises forming an adhesive layer containing a photo-setting substance on the substrate, exposing the adhesive layer to actinic light imagewisely so as to irradiate only portions other than those forming wiring, treating the surface of the substrate with a roughening solution so as to roughen the portions not exposed to actinic light, treating the surface of the substrate with a catalyst solution for activation for electroless deposition, contacting the surface of the substrate with a stripper for the catalyst, and conducting electroless deposition so as to form prescribed wiring on the substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the adhesive layer is produced by using a composition comprising a thermosetting resin and a photo-setting substance.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process according to claim 2, wherein the thermosetting resin is a phenol-formaldehyde resin, alkylphenol-formaldehyde resin, epoxy resin or a mixture thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
