Abstract

Disclosed herein is an electrolytic copper foil in which an average diameter of a pore which is a region between surface elements protruding from a matte side is 1 mm to 100 nm. The electrolytic copper foil has high elongation while maintaining low roughness and high strength and thus may be used in a current collector of a medium-large size lithium ion secondary battery and a semiconductor packaging substrate, and the like, for tape automated bonding (TAB) which is used in a tape carrier package (TCP).

Claims (22)

1. An electrolytic copper foil, wherein

glossiness (Gs (60°)) in a width direction of a matte side of copper is equal to or more than 500,

the surface roughness Rz which is equal to or less than 1.4 μm,

an average diameter of pores on the matte side ranges from 1 nm to 100 nm, and

a number of distributed pores ranges from 100 pores/μm 2 to 1000 pores/μm 2 , wherein an average density of pores on the matte side ranges from 10% to 50% of an average density of surface elements protruding from the matte side, and

wherein the pores are recesses and the surface elements are projections.

2. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein a cross sectional area of the pores ranges from 10% to 50% to an area of the matte side.

3. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein the tensile strength before heat treatment ranges from 40 kgf/mm 2 to 70 kgf/mm 2 .

4. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein the tensile strength after heat treatment ranges from 40 kgf/mm 2 to 70 kgf/mm 2 .

5. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein the tensile strength after heat treatment at 180° C. for 1 hour ranges from 40 kgf/mm 2 to 70 kgf/mm 2 or more.

6. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein the tensile strength after heat treatment ranges from 85% to 99% of the tensile strength before the heat treatment.

7. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein the elongation before heat treatment ranges from 2% to 15%.

8. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein the elongation after heat treatment ranges from 4% to 15%.

9. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein the elongation after heat treatment at 180° C. for 1 hour ranges from 4% to 15%.

10. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein the elongation after heat treatment is 1 time to 4.5 times as large as the elongation before the heat treatment.

11. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein a corner curl angle ranges from 0° to 45° .

12. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein a corner curl height ranges from 0 mm to 40 mm.

13. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the electrolytic copper foil ranges from 2 μm to 10 μm.

14. A battery including the electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 .

15. An electric component, comprising:

an insulating substrate; and

the electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 attached on one surface of the insulating substrate.
