A wired circuit board having a semi-conducting layer which has excellent
chemical resistance, such as acid resistance and alkali resistance,
provides no possibility of minute particles being mixed into parts
mounted on the wired circuit board; and yet has excellent surface
resistivity against electrostatic damage. In the wired circuit board
having a conductive layer formed on one side of a base insulating layer
in the form of a predetermined wired circuit pattern and a cover
insulating layer formed on the conductive layer, a base-side
semi-conducting layer and a cover-side semi-conducting layer, which
include metal oxide, metal nitride or metal carbide, are formed on the
other side of the base insulating layer and the cover insulating layer,
respectively, by physical vapor deposition (PVD) or preferably by
sputtering.
