Abstract

Provided is a carrier-attached metal foil which can suppress the number of foreign matter particles on the surface of a metal layer to enhance circuit formability, and can keep stable releasability even after heating at a high temperature of 240° C. or higher (for example, 260° C.) for a long period of time. The carrier-attached metal foil includes a carrier, a release functional layer provided on the carrier, the release functional layer including a metal oxynitride, and a metal layer provided on the release functional layer.

Claims (16)

1. A carrier-attached metal foil comprising:

a carrier;

a release functional layer provided on the carrier, the release functional layer including a metal oxynitride; and

a metal layer provided on the release functional layer;

wherein the release functional layer includes:

an adhesion layer provided on the carrier, the adhesion layer containing at least one selected from the group consisting of Cu, Ti, Ta, Cr, Ni, Al, Mo, Zn, W, TiN, and TaN, and

a release layer provided on the adhesion layer, the release layer containing at least one metal oxynitride selected from the group consisting of TaON, NiON, TiON, NiWON, and MoON.

2. The carrier-attached metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein the metal oxynitride comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of TaON, NiON, TiON, NiWON, and MOON.

3. The carrier-attached metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesion layer contains 30 atom % or more of at least one selected from the group consisting of Cu, Ti, Ta, Cr, Ni, Al, Mo, Zn, W, TiN, and TaN.

4. The carrier-attached metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesion layer has a thickness T 1 of 5 nm or more and 400 nm or less.

5. The carrier-attached metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein the release layer is such that an atomic ratio of O relative to a metal component constituting the metal oxynitride is 4% or more and an atomic ratio of N relative to the metal component constituting the metal oxynitride is 20% or more, as measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

6. The carrier-attached metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein the release layer has a thickness T 2 of 1 nm or more and 150 nm or less.

7. The carrier-attached metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio T 1 /T 2 of the thickness T 1 of the adhesion layer to the thickness T 2 of the release layer is 0.03 or more and 400 or less.

8. The carrier-attached metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier is composed of glass, silicon, or a ceramic.

9. The carrier-attached metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein the metal layer is composed of at least one metal or alloy selected from the group consisting of Cu, Au, and Pt.

10. The carrier-attached metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein the metal layer has a thickness T 3 of 10 nm or more and 1000 nm or less.
