A production method of a suspension board with circuit that can provide
reduced number of man-hour and complicated processes for forming the
ground terminal, to provide production cost reduction. An insulating base
layer 4 having a base opening portion 3 is formed on a metal board 2 at a
ground terminal 13 forming position, and a thin metal film 5 is formed on
the metal board 2 exposed in the base opening portion 3 and on the
insulating base layer 4. Then, a conductive pattern 7 is formed on the
thin metal film 5. Then, an insulating cover layer 9 covering the
conductive pattern 7 and having a cover opening portion 8 which
correspond in position to the base opening portion 3 is formed on the
insulating base layer 4. Then, a metal board opening portion 11 from
which the base opening portion 3 and the insulating base layer 4 around
it are exposed is formed in the metal board 2. Then, an electrolytic
plating layer 12 is formed on each side of the conductive pattern 7
exposed in the cover opening portion 8, feeding electric power from the
conductive pattern 7, and a metal filling layer 14 is formed in the metal
board opening portion 11, to allow the electrolytic plating layer 12 and
the metal board 2 to be conductive with each other.
