Patent ID: 8760815

Claim:
A suspension board with circuit comprising: a metal supporting board; a metal foil formed on the metal supporting board; a first insulating base layer formed on the metal supporting board so as to cover the metal foil; a conductive pattern formed on the first insulating base layer and having a plurality of wires; and an insulating cover layer formed on the first insulating base layer so as to cover the wires, wherein the metal supporting board is formed with an opening which is generally U-shaped in a plane view, wherein the suspension board with circuit further comprises a tongue portion sandwiched by the opening and for mounting a magnetic head, and an outrigger portion arranged on the outer side of the opening, wherein the opening is opposed to a part of the wires in a thickness direction covered by the first insulating base layer and the insulating cover layer in the thickness direction, and wherein the metal foil is arranged along a lengthwise direction of each of the wires so as not to be opposed to the part of the wires in the thickness direction and so as to be opposed to a remainder of the wires in the thickness direction; wherein the part of the wires opposed to the opening without the metal foil opposed thereto is covered at the entire lower surface thereof by the first insulating base layer and at the entire upper and side surfaces thereof by the insulating cover layer, respectively, further comprising a first metal thin film interposed between the metal foil and the metal supporting board.
