Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 209 words
A method of producing a printed circuit board, which comprises: (a) forming a cured adhesive layer on a substrate, with the forming including dispersing cured heat-resistant particles easily soluble in an oxidizing agent in a heat-resistant resin exhibiting a sparingly soluble property to said oxidizing agent, said cured heat-resistant particles being selected from the group consisting of a mixture of a heat-resistant resin particles having an average particle size of 2-10 μm and heat-resistant resin fine particles having an average particle size of not more than 2 μm, false particles obtained by adhering at least one of heat-resistant resin fine powder having an average particle size of not more than 2 μm and inorganic fine powder having an average particle size of not more than 2 μm to surfaces of heat-resistant particles having an average particle size of 2-10 μm, and agglomerated particles obtained by agglomerating heat-resistant resin fine powder having an average particle size of not more than 2 μm into an average particle size of 2-10 μm, and mixtures thereof; (b) dissolving and removing heat-resistant particles existent on the surface portion of said adhesive layer with the use of an oxidizing agent whereby the surface portion is roughened; and (c) forming a conductor layer through electroless plating.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 209 words
A method of producing a printed circuit board, which comprises: (a) forming a cured adhesive layer on a substrate, with the forming including dispersing cured heat-resistant particles easily soluble in an oxidizing agent in a heat-resistant resin exhibiting a sparingly soluble property to said oxidizing agent, said cured heat-resistant particles being selected from the group consisting of a mixture of a heat-resistant resin particles having an average particle size of 2-10 μm and heat-resistant resin fine particles having an average particle size of not more than 2 μm, false particles obtained by adhering at least one of heat-resistant resin fine powder having an average particle size of not more than 2 μm and inorganic fine powder having an average particle size of not more than 2 μm to surfaces of heat-resistant particles having an average particle size of 2-10 μm, and agglomerated particles obtained by agglomerating heat-resistant resin fine powder having an average particle size of not more than 2 μm into an average particle size of 2-10 μm, and mixtures thereof; (b) dissolving and removing heat-resistant particles existent on the surface portion of said adhesive layer with the use of an oxidizing agent whereby the surface portion is roughened; and (c) forming a conductor layer through electroless plating.
