  • Publication number: 20120107637
    Abstract: A copper foil for a semiconductor package substrate comprising a chromate treatment layer or a coating layer made of zinc or zinc oxide and chromium oxide formed on a roughened surface of a copper foil to serve as an adherend surface with resin, and a silane coupling agent layer. With this copper foil for a semiconductor package substrate, the amount of Cr in the chromate coating layer is 25 to 150 ?g/dm2, and the amount of Zn is 150 ?g/dm2 or less. Moreover, with this copper foil for a semiconductor package substrate, the silane coupling agent layer contains tetraalkoxysilane, and at least one type of alkoxysilane comprising a functional group possessing reactivity with resin. Provided is an electrolytic treatment technique of a copper foil capable of effectively preventing the circuit corrosion phenomenon upon laminating a copper foil on a resin base material, and using a sulfuric acid-based etching solution to perform soft etching to a circuit.

  • Patent number: 7651783
    Abstract: A surface treated copper foil with improved adhesion to the insulating resin of a copper-clad laminate for higher frequency applications contains a copper foil provided with a heat-resistant layer and an olefin-based silane coupling agent layer sequentially on at least one side thereof. An anticorrosive treatment may be performed after the heat resistance treatment. The copper foil is preferably an electrolytic copper foil, and these layers can be provided on the S side and/or the M side thereof. The copper foil has an adequate adhesive strength, even without the roughening treatment that has been performed in the past. A film of zinc, zinc-tin, zinc-nickel, zinc-cobalt, copper-zinc, copper-nickel-cobalt, or nickel-cobalt can be used favorably as the heat-resistant layer, and a film that has undergone a zinc-chromate or a chromate treatment can be used favorably as the anticorrosive layer.

  • Publication number: 20090208762
    Abstract: Provided is a copper foil for a printed circuit board comprising a heatproof treatment layer formed on an non-roughened surface of the copper foil to become a joining surface with resin, a chromate coated layer formed on the heatproof treatment layer, and a silane coupling agent layer formed on the chromate coated layer, wherein the Zn amount of the outermost copper foil surface after forming the silane coupling agent layer is 1.5 Atomic % or less, and the Cr amount is 3.0 to 12.0 Atomic %. This copper foil for a printed circuit board is superior in chemical resistance, adhesiveness, and high frequency characteristics.

  • Patent number: 6960391
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a carrier-added copper foil and a print substrate using such copper foil characterized in comprising a resin layer and a functional material layer at least on a part of the copper foil. A carrier-added copper foil and a print substrate using such copper foil are obtained by forming an insulating layer and functional material layer having an area smaller than the area of the copper foil on the surface of the carrier-added copper foil with the screen printing method, thereby improving the handling of such copper foil, preventing the adhesion of contaminants such as resin powder on the copper foil surface during the cutting procedure, preventing scratches and dimples caused by foreign matter, and effectively preventing the generation of scratches, wrinkles and creases during the cutting, packaging and transportation procedures.

  • Patent number: 6835241
    Abstract: The present invention provides a surface treatment agent that endows a copper foil with excellent adhesion to insulating resins. The surface treatment agent of the present invention has as its active components an organosilicic compound expressed by a following General Formula (1) and/or an organosilicic compound expressed by a General Formula (2) and an olefin-based silane coupling agent. The surface treatment agent of the present invention provides particularly excellent adhesion between an insulating resin and a low-profile copper foil used for a high-frequency-adaptable substrate. In Formulas (1) and (2), R1 is a hydroxyl group or a C1 to C5 alkyl group, and R2 is a C1 to C10 alkylene group that may contain oxygen.
