  • Patent number: 5997710
    Abstract: This invention provides a process for producing an electrolytic copper foil for a printed wiring board by supplying current between a rotary cathode and an electrolytic anode in a copper electrolyte so as to electrodeposit copper on the surface of the rotary cathode, wherein an anode for high electric current is placed opposite to the electrodeposition starting surface of the rotary cathode in such a manner that a part of the anode is projected above a liquid level of the copper electrolyte, and the copper electrolyte existing between the anode for high electric current and the opposed rotary cathode surface is electrolyzed by providing a high electric current with a current density higher than that of the electrolytic anode, and an apparatus for producing an electrolytic copper foil for a printed wiring board having excellent properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 28, 1998
    Date of Patent: December 7, 1999
    Assignee: Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd.

  • Patent number: 5718039
    Abstract: A process for preparing said multilayer printed wiring board comprising the steps of (1) adhering copper foils respectively to both the faces of a substrate, masking and etching said foils in a usual way to form circuits, (2) applying copper foils having a semi-cured insulating layer formed on one face thereof respectively to said circuits with the insulating layer facing to said circuit, the insulating layers being as defined above, and then pressing the whole together under heat and (3) masking and etching the copper foils with the insulating layer thereon in a usual way to form circuits, the steps (2) and (3) being repeated as many times as desired.
