Patent ID: 7666292

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a printed circuit board using an imprinting process, comprising the steps of: aligning a plurality of individual molds, each of which has a pattern corresponding to a circuit pattern, on a base substrate having an insulating layer laminated thereon, wherein each of the individual molds is configured to be independently removed from the base substrate; imprinting the insulating layer of the substrate with the plurality of individual molds, and curing the insulating layer; sequentially removing two or more of the individual molds from the insulating layer, to form grooves of circuit patterns in the insulating layer; forming an electroless plating layer on the insulating layer and in the grooves of the circuit patterns; forming an electroplating layer on the electroless plating layer; and polishing the electroless plating layer and the electroplating layer until the insulating layer is exposed.
