Abstract

A rolled copper foil consisted of at least either of silicon (Si) and iron (Fe), boron (B), silver (Ag), oxygen (O) of 0.002 mass % or less, and a balance consisted of copper (Cu) and inevitable impurities.

Claims (29)

1. A rolled copper foil consisting of boron, silver, at least either of silicon and iron, and a balance consisting of copper and inevitable impurities, wherein a total amount of at least one of silicon and iron is 0.001 to 0.0045 mass %, an amount of the boron is 0.003 to 0.04 mass %, and an amount of the silver is 0.002 to 0.025 mass %.

2. The rolled copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the rolled copper foil has a thickness of 20 μm or less.

3. The rolled copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of the silver is 0.0025 to 0.0225 mass %.

4. The rolled copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of the silver is 0.003 to 0.02 mass %.

5. The rolled copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of the silver is 0.0085 mass %.

6. The rolled copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of the boron is 0.003 to 0.035 mass %.

7. The rolled copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of the boron is 0.003 to 0.03 mass %.

8. The rolled copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of the boron is 0.0145 mass %.

9. The rolled copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the rolled copper foil has been heat treated at 160° C. for 120 minutes.

10. The rolled copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the rolled copper foil has been formed by:

hot rolling an ingot from which the copper foil is to be made to form a hot rolled sheet;

repeatedly cold rolling and intermediate annealing the hot rolled sheet for a predetermined number of times so as to form a processed sheet;

subsequently annealing the processed sheet so as to form an annealed sheet; and

cold rolling the annealed sheet so as to form a cold rolled sheet.

11. The rolled copper foil according to claim 10 , wherein the cold rolled sheet has been heat treated at 160° C. for 120 minutes after the cold rolling.

12. A rolled copper foil consisting of boron, silver, oxygen of 0.002 mass % or less, at least either of silicon and iron, and a balance consisted of copper and inevitable impurities, wherein a total amount of at least one of silicon and iron is 0.001 to 0.0045 mass %, an amount of the boron is 0.003 to 0.04 mass %, and an amount of the silver is 0.002 to 0.025 mass %.

13. The rolled copper foil according to claim 12 , wherein the amount of the silver is 0.0025 to 0.0225 mass %.

14. The rolled copper foil according to claim 12 , wherein the amount of the silver is 0.003 to 0.02 mass %.

15. The rolled copper foil according to claim 12 , wherein the amount of the silver is 0.0085 mass %.

16. The rolled copper foil according to claim 12 , wherein the amount of the boron is 0.003 to 0.035 mass %.

17. The rolled copper foil according to claim 12 , wherein the amount of the boron is 0.003 to 0.03 mass %.

18. The rolled copper foil according to claim 12 , wherein the amount of the boron is 0.0145 mass %.

19. The rolled copper foil according to claim 12 , wherein the rolled copper foil has a thickness of 20 μm or less.

20. The rolled copper foil according to claim 12 , wherein the rolled copper foil has been formed by:

hot rolling an ingot from which the copper foil is to be made to form a hot rolled sheet;

repeatedly cold rolling and intermediate annealing the hot rolled sheet for a predetermined number of times so as to form a processed sheet;

subsequently annealing the processed sheet so as to form an annealed sheet; and

cold rolling the annealed sheet so as to form a cold rolled sheet.

21. The rolled copper foil according to claim 20 , wherein the cold rolled sheet has been heat treated at 160° C. for 120 minutes after the cold rolling.
