A plating resist layer is formed to have a prescribed pattern on the upper surface of the thin metal film layer. A metal plating layer is formed on the thin metal film layer exposed by electroplating. Then, the plating resist layer is removed, and the thin metal film layer in the region having the plating resist layer is removed. In this way, a conductive pattern including the thin metal film layer and the metal plating layer is formed. The upper surface of the base insulating layer in the region without the conductive pattern is subjected to roughening treatment. A cover insulating layer is formed on the upper surfaces of the base insulating layer and the conductive pattern. In this way, a printed circuit board is completed.
