Abstract: A circuit board-use member has a reinforcing plate, a removable organic layer, a flexible film having a circuit pattern, and a peeling-assist layer laminated in that order; a method forms a circuit board by forming a circuit pattern on a flexible film which is adhered to a reinforcing plate with a removable organic layer interposed therebetween, and peeling the film from the plate at an angle ranging from more than 0° to 80°; and an apparatus for forming a circuit board has one of a separation means for separating the flexible film from the reinforcing plate while the film contacts a curved support body; a curved separation means for separating the reinforcing plate from a support body for the flexible film while the plate is curved; or a moving means for relatively moving holding means and peeling means having a wedge-shaped member for peeling the flexible film.
