  • Publication number: 20070062908
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing a printed wiring board, comprising a step of treating a laminated film having a copper layer laminated on at least one surface of an insulating film, with a first etching solution containing cupric chloride or ferric chloride as a main constituent to reduce the thickness of the copper layer, and a step of treating the laminated film, which has been treated with the first etching solution, with a second etching solution containing sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide as main constituents to adjust the thickness of the copper layer. According to the process for producing a printed wiring board, the time required for treating the laminated film having a copper layer laminated on at least one surface of an insulating film to reduce the thickness of the copper film to a desired thickness is short, and besides, the thickness dispersion of the copper layer after the treatment is small.
