A solder resist comprising a thermosetting resin is printed on a surface of an
insulating board (7) having a conductor circuit (6). The solder resist
is then heat-cured to form an insulating film (1) having a low thermal expansion
coefficient. A laser beam (2) is then applied to the portion of the insulating
film in which an opening is to be formed, to burn off the same portion for forming
an opening (10), whereby the conductor circuit (6) is exposed. This
opening may be formed as a hole for conduction by forming a metal plating film
on an inner surface thereof. It is preferable that an external connecting pad be
formed so as to cover the opening. The film of coating of a metal is formed by
using an electric plating lead, which is preferably cut off by a laser beam after
the electric plating has finished.
