A wired circuit board is provided which can reduce transmission loss with
a simple layer structure and also features excellent long-term
reliability by preventing the occurrence of an ion migration phenomenon
between a metal foil and an insulating layer to improve the adhesion
between the metal foil and the insulating layer and the conductivity of a
conductor. A metal supporting board is prepared and a first metal thin
film is formed on the metal supporting board by sputtering or
electrolytic plating. A metal foil is formed on the first metal thin film
by electrolytic plating. A second metal thin film is formed over the
metal foil and the metal supporting board by electroless plating or
sputtering. An insulating base layer is formed on the second metal thin
film. A conductive pattern is formed as a wired circuit pattern on the
insulating base layer. An insulating cover layer is formed on the
insulating base layer to cover the conductive pattern.
