  • Patent number: 11639557
    Abstract: A composite copper foil contains a carrier layer, a release layer and an ultra-thin copper layer in this order. In the composite copper foil, the release layer includes a binary alloy or a ternary alloy comprising nickel, and is formed into an amorphous layer, and the ultra-thin copper layer is peelable from the carrier layer. A method of fabricating the composite copper foil includes preparing a carrier layer, forming a release layer which is amorphous on the carrier layer by electroplating using an electrolyte that comprises nickel, and forming an ultra-thin copper layer on the release layer by electroplating.

  • Publication number: 20210371997
    Abstract: Disclosed herein relates to a copper foil having a low roughness property by roughening a matte side, wherein a thickness of the copper foil is from 5 ?m to 70 ?m, and profilometer-measured mean roughness of the roughened surface of the copper foil is from 0.5 ?m to 2.0 ?m, and wherein profilometer-measured mean roughness Rz JIS of the roughened matte side of the copper foil is lower than that of a shiny side of the copper foil. The copper foil provided in the present invention has excellent adhesion with a resin and an electrical property while having low roughness through surface roughening.

  • Publication number: 20210368628
    Abstract: A copper-clad laminate including at least one of a copper layer having a roughened surface is disclosed. The copper-clad laminate is obtained by roughening at least one surface of a base copper layer so as to have a low profile comprising a copper layer having a thickness of from 5 ?m to 70 ?m and a resin layer on the copper layer, wherein a peeling strength between the copper layer and the resin layer is more than 0.6 N/mm when the thickness of the copper layer is more than 5 ?m, wherein a ten-point mean roughness Sz of the roughened surface is lower than that of the base copper layer.

  • Publication number: 20210298213
    Abstract: A surface-treated copper foil, which is excellent in adhesiveness with an insulating substrate for a high-frequency circuit, and particularly is capable of producing a copper clad laminate where occurrence of blisters are suppressed even when a thermal load due to high temperature press-working is applied. More particularly, it is a surface-treated copper foil for a high-frequency circuit having a heat resisting treated layer formed on a copper foil of 35 ?m or less in thickness, in which the heat resisting treated layer is characterized by a film including a quaternary metal oxide of chromium, molybdenum, zinc, and nickel and a compound thereof, characterizes the present invention.

  • Patent number: 7153590
    Abstract: A composite copper foil (10) comprises a carrier foil (12) formed by electrodeposition onto a cathode, the carrier foil (12) having a cathode side formed in contact with the cathode and an opposite electrolyte side. A very thin release layer (14) is on the electrolyte side of said carrier foil (12). A thin functional foil (16) formed by deposition of copper has a front side in contact with the release layer (14) and an opposite back side. The electrolyte side of the carrier foil (12) has a surface roughness Rz less than or equal to 3.5 ?m. There is also presented a method for manufacturing such a composite copper foil.

  • Patent number: 5834140
    Abstract: The present invention is an electrodeposited copper foil characterised in that roughening treatment is performed on a matte side of an untreated copper foil wherein the surface roughness R.sub.z of the matte side of the untreated copper foil is the same as or less than the surface roughness R.sub.z of the shiny side of this untreated copper foil. The electrodeposited copper foil is made by electrodepositing copper onto a drum from an electrolyte which contains 0.05 to 5 ppm 3-mercapto 1-propanesulfonate; at least one organic compound selected from 0.1 to 15 ppm of a polysaccharide which is a carbohydrate such as starches, celluloses and vegetable rubbers, and 0.3 to 35 ppm of a low molecular weight glue having a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 or less; and 10 to 60 ppm of a chloride ion. The copper foil may be used in making a printed circuit board or as a component of a secondary battery cell.

  • Patent number: 5207889
    Abstract: An improved treatment for copper foil comprising electrodepositing a metallic barrier layer of copper, zinc and antimony on at least one side of the foil which, preferably, has a matte surface formed prior to forming the barrier layer. The so-treated foil provides a high bonding strength when laminated to polymeric substrates and resists undercutting by mineral acid etchants and rinses during production of printed circuit boards.
