A semiconductor-mounting substrate comprising a lead frame, an insulating material arranged in at least one position among a gap between a lead of the lead frame and a die pad, or a gap between the leads and a surface of the lead frame, an adhesive layer formed on at least a part of the lead frame, an electrical circuit formed through the adhesive layer by an additive process, and a plated conductor for connecting the said electrical circuit to said leads of the lead frame, wherein said adhesive layer is a heat-resistant fine powder being soluble in an oxidizing agent or an acid into a heat-resistant resin being hardly soluble in the oxidizing agent or acid and at least a conductor circuit forming surface thereof is formed as a rough surface by a roughening treatment with said oxidizing agent or acid.
