Abstract

An electrodeposited copper foil to be laminated on an insulation substrate for a printed circuit board, comprising a barrier layer of ternary alloy of Zn—Co—As formed on the copper foil, is provided. Further, a surface treatment method of an electrodeposited copper foil for a printed circuit board, comprising electrolytically treating the copper foil in an electrolytic solution containing pyrophosphoric acid potassium of about 10 g/l to about 200 g/l, Zn of about 0.1 g/l to about 20 g/l, Co of about 0.1 g/l to about 20 g/l and As of about 0.05 g/l to about 5 g/l, is provided. Further, the electrolytic solution remains at the temperature of about 20° C. to about 50° C. and a pH of about 9 to about 13. The copper foil is electrolytically treated for about 2 seconds to about 20 seconds at a cathode current density of about 0.5 A/dm 2 to about 20 A/dm 2 .

Claims (12)
