## Abstract

A method for manufacturing a wiring structure of a wiring board is provided. In the method, a substrate including an insulation layer and a film disposed on the insulation layer is provided. Next, a barrier layer completely covering the film is formed. Next, an intaglio pattern partially exposing the insulation layer is formed on an outer surface of the barrier layer. Next, an activated layer is formed on the outer surface and in the intaglio pattern. Then, the activated layer on the outer surface is removed, and the activated layer in the intaglio pattern is remained. After the activated layer on the outer surface is removed, a conductive material is formed in the intaglio pattern by using a chemical deposition method. After forming the conductive material, the barrier layer and the film are removed.
