A copper clad laminate having a bonded side ensuring powerful adhesion between the copper foil and insulating layer, without providing protrusions on the copper foil or making roughing treatment or black treatment, by designing such a configuration that the copper foil has a metal layer on the side to be bonded with the insulating layer and the metal layer and insulating layer are cross-linked with each other by chemical bonds through sulfur atoms. Further, there is provided a multilayer printed circuit board which has a bonded side ensuring a powerful adhesion of the circuit copper foil and insulating layer, by designing such a configuration that the alternating metal layers and insulating layers are cross-linked with each other by chemical bonds through sulfur atoms.
