Abstract

There is obtained a low-profile electrolytic copper foil with a small surface roughness on the side of the rough surface (the opposite side from the lustrous surface) in the manufacture of an electrolytic copper foil using a cathode drum, and more particularly an electrolytic copper foil which allows fine patterning, and is superior in terms of elongation and tensile strength at ordinary temperatures and high temperatures. The present invention provides a copper electrolytic solution, containing as additives an organo-sulfur compound and a quaternary amine compound polymer obtained by homopolymerizing a compound in which the nitrogen of an acrylic type compound having a dialkylamino group is quaternized, or copolymerizing the compound with another compound having an unsaturated bond, and an electrolytic copper foil manufactured using this electrolytic solution.

Claims (6)

1. A method of manufacturing an electrolytic copper foil comprising the step of electrodepositing a copper foil on a rotating cathode drum from a copper electrolytic solution containing, as additives, an organo-sulfur compound expressed by the following general formula (4) or (5)

X—R 1 —(S) n —R 2 —Y  (4)

R 4 —S—R 3 —SO 3 Z  (5),

wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each independently are an alkylene group with 1-8 carbon atoms, R 4 is a group selected from the group consisting of hydrogen,

X is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a sulfonic acid group, a phosphoric acid group and an alkali metal salt group or ammonium salt group of sulfonic acid or phosphonic acid, Y is selected from the group consisting of a sulfonic acid group, a phosphonic acid group and an alkali metal salt group of sulfonic acid or phosphonic acid, Z is hydrogen or an alkali metal and n is 2 or 3, and a quaternary amine compound polymer obtained by homopolymerizing a compound expressed by the following general formula (2) or (3)

wherein R 1 ′ is hydrogen or an alkyl group with 1-5 carbon atoms, R 2 ′ is an alkyl group with 1-5 carbon atoms, R 3 ′ is an alkyl group with 1-5 carbon atoms, a benzyl group or an allyl group, X 1 is Cl, Br or CH 3 SO 4 and n 1 is an integer of 1-5, or copolymerizing the compound of formula (2) or (3) with another compound having an unsaturated bond.
