  • Publication number: 20240209537
    Abstract: A method for producing an electrodeposited copper foil with a matte side having a Rz ISO of 0.8 ?m or less, the electrodeposited copper foil being continuously formed in an electroforming cell including a rotating drum-shaped cathode, a stationary anode and an electrolyte. The electrolyte comprises: copper, preferably in the form of copper ions, at a concentration of at least 60 g/L; a halogen ion at a concentration composed of between 30 and 50 ppm; 3-mercapto-1-propane sulfonate at a concentration composed of between 5 and 15 ppm; a nitrogen-containing polymer leveler at a concentration composed of between 5 and 12 ppm, the nitrogen-containing polymer leveler having an average molecular weight Mw composed of between 1 000 and 30 000 g/mol; and a polyether suppressor at a concentration composed of between 15 and 30 ppm, the polyether suppressor having an average molecular weight Mw composed of between 500 and 12 000 g/mol.

  • 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.
