A method for manufacturing a circuit-board structure wherein a conductor foil is provided on an insulating material layer, a resist layer is spread on the conductor foil and a recess formed in the conductor foil and insulating material layer. The resist layer is patterned to form a conductor-pattern having openings wherein conductor patterns may be grown. A component is attached to the conductor foil and conductor pattern and conductor material is removed which does not form part of a conductor pattern.
