Abstract

See full text

A method for producing a circuit substrate having a bump contact point, comprising the steps of (a) disposing a positive electrode in a plating solution stored in a storage tank, (b) exposing a conductive circuit formed on an insulating substrate, above the surface of the plating solution, (c) disposing a jet stream opening below the surface of the plating solution, and (d) spouting out the plating solution from the jet stream opening toward the negative electrode for electroplating using said conductive circuit as a negative electrode, to form the bump contact point on the surface of the negative electrode, and a jet stream type plating apparatus used therefor. According to the present invention, mixing of air bubbles in the plating solution can be inhibited, which in turn enables suppression of oxidative decomposition of the brightener components. As a consequence, the bump contact point can have a mushroom shape, and variation in the height of the bump contact points can be minimized. In addition, slip of the vertex of the bump contact point and loss of bump contact points can be avoided.
