Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a printed circuit board for fine circuit formation, in which an unnecessary metal layer formed on the upper portion of a circuit pattern is removed through mechanical polishing and then chemical etching. In place of expensive chemical mechanical polishing, in the method of the invention, mechanical polishing and chemical etching are continuously applied to thus sequentially remove and planarize the unnecessary metal layer. Thereby, through an inexpensive, simple, and continuous process, the planarization procedure can be precisely performed, thus making it possible to apply the method to large areas and economically realize a fine circuit pattern.
