1. A method of fabricating a printed circuit board, comprising the steps of:
preparing a base substrate which comprises a core insulating layer, release films attached to the core insulating layer, insulators separately formed from the core insulating layer and laminated so as to surround the release film, to form a resulting structure; and copper foils laminated on upper and lower sides of the resulting structure;
maintaining the core insulating layer planar with the release film and the insulators;
forming the insulators to have the same thickness with that of the release film;
forming solder resists on upper and lower sides of the base substrate to form a resulting base substrate;
laminating circuit layers and insulating layers sequentially on upper and lower sides of the resulting base substrate to form a resulting substrate;
cutting edge portions of the resulting substrate so as to remove the edge portions which contain the insulators surrounding the release films;
detaching the release films to divide the resulting substrate into two substrates so the two substrates are separated from the core insulating layer; and
removing the copper foils from the substrates.
