Abstract

Disclosed is an ultra thin copper foil with a carrier foil and a manufacturing method therefor, wherein the ultra-thin copper foil with a carrier foil includes a carrier foil, a peeling layer, and an ultra-thin copper foil sequentially laminated, and the carrier foil includes a surface treatment layer on a face thereof facing the peeling layer.

Claims (20)

1 . A method for manufacturing an ultra-thin copper foil with a carrier foil by comprising forming a lamination structure of a carrier foil, a peeling layer, and an ultra-thin copper foil,

wherein the forming of the lamination structure comprises:

providing the carrier foil;

etching one surface of the carrier foil to form a surface treatment layer; and

sequentially forming the peeling layer and the ultra-thin copper foil on the surface treatment layer,

wherein the surface treatment layer has a surface structure in which protrusions with an average width of 10 μm or less are arranged.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein an etching solution for the etching contains at least one organic agent selected from the group consisting of sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, a nitrogen-containing organic compound, and a sulfur-containing organic compound.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the surface treatment layer has a surface structure in which protrusions with an average width of 2 μm or less are arranged.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the protrusions have an area density of 8,000-10,000/mm 2 .

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the protrusions are formed by etching a surface of the carrier foil.

6 . A method for manufacturing an ultra-thin copper foil comprising:

forming a lamination structure of a carrier foil, a peeling layer, and an ultra-thin copper foil; and

peeling the ultra-thin copper foil from the lamination structure,

wherein the forming of the lamination structure comprises:

providing the carrier foil;

etching one surface of the carrier foil to form a surface treatment layer; and

sequentially forming the peeling layer and the ultra-thin copper foil on the surface treatment layer,

wherein a surface structure of the peeled ultra-thin copper foil has grooves with an average width of 10 μm or less.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein a surface structure of the peeled ultra-thin copper foil grooves with an average width of 2 μm or less.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the grooves have an area density of 8,000-10,000/mm 2 .
