Abstract: A flexible circuit wiring board having protruding, closely spaced leads, which are intended to be attached to a circuit device, is fabricated by forming a conductor pattern on a first surface of an insulating substrate, adhereing a protection layer to the conductor pattern and employing a laser to selectively etch away the substrate. The etching process leaves a reinforcing coating of the protective layer on the leads at least in the portions thereof which lie at the boundary of the area from which the substrate has been removed.

Abstract: A flexible multi-layer circuit wiring board which is capable of constituting finger lead-like terminals that are little liable to be deformed even when the circuit conductors protruding like finger leads are finely formed and is capable of maintaining good flexibility at a bent portion. Circuit conductors 2 composed of an electrically conducting metal having a large Young's modulus are disposed at the ends of one surface of a flexible insulating base member 1 to form finger lead-like terminals 3, required circuit wiring conductors 4 composed of an electrically conducting metal rich in flexibility are disposed on the other surface of the flexible insulating base member 1 inclusive of a bent portion A of the circuit wiring board, and through-hole connection portions 5 are formed to electrically connect required portions of the circuit conductors 2 and the circuit wiring conductors 4.
