Abstract: A method and production of composite foils and thin copper foils peeled from said composite copper foils is disclosed for use in forming printed circuit boards (PCB). Either the composite foil or only the thin copper foil can be laminated to a polymer layer to form the printed circuit board, with the step of separating the thin copper foil from the composite copper foil is performed subsequent to said laminating step.

Abstract: A copper foil having a matte side with nickel plated thereon in an amount of nickel in the range of 100,000-300,000 ?s/dm2. The plated copper foils have particular utility in Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) devices. The plated copper foils have a surface hardness of from 50 to 200, a tensile strength greater than 45 kg/mm2 and a shiny side surface roughness (Rz) not exceeding 2.0 ?m. The surface roughness of the matte side of the copper foil is in the range of 6 to 10 ?m. Copper nodules are present on the matte side of the copper foil between the copper foil and the nickel plating. Methods of producing the copper foil and PTC devices incorporating the copper foil are described.

Abstract: An electrolytic copper foil includes a copper foil body; and a IIA-group metal adhered to a surface of the copper foil body, wherein a signal strength of the IIA group metal is greater than 0.1% based on a signal strength of copper element as 100% analyzed by a secondary ion mass spectrometer. The present invention also provides a method for cleaning copper foil and a cleaning fluid composition which is used in the cleaning method.
