Abstract

A copper foil for a printed circuit board has a rust preventing layer formed by a trivalent chromium chemical conversion treatment on a surface of the copper foil that the copper foil is bonded to a base material for the printed circuit board. T copper foil is of copper or copper alloy, and the rust preventing layer contains 0.5 to 2.5 μg/cm 2 of chromium converted into metallic chromium.

Claims (37)

1. A copper foil for a printed circuit board, comprising:

a rust preventing layer formed by a trivalent chromium chemical conversion treatment on the copper foil; and

an alloy plating layer formed under the rust preventing layer,

wherein the copper foil comprises copper or copper alloy,

the rust preventing layer comprises 0.5 to 2.5 μg/cm 2 of chromium,

the alloy plating layer comprises nickel and cobalt the total amount of which is 5 to 20 μg/cm 2 , and

the alloy plating layer comprises cobalt whose concentration in the alloy plating layer is 60 to 80% by mass.

2. The copper foil for the printed circuit board according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a zinc galvanized layer formed between the rust preventing layer and the alloy plating layer,

wherein the zinc galvanized layer comprises 0.5 to 3 μg/cm 2 of zinc.

3. The copper foil for the printed circuit board according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a roughening treatment layer formed under the alloy plating layer; and

a copper plating treatment layer formed under or on the roughening treatment layer.

4. The copper foil for the printed circuit board according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a roughening treatment layer formed under the alloy plating layer; and

a copper plating treatment layer formed under or on the roughening treatment layer.

5. The copper foil for the printed circuit board according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a silane coupling treatment layer formed on the rust preventing layer,

wherein the silane coupling treatment layer is made by heating and drying a silane coupling treating agent at a temperature of 150 to 300° C.

6. A copper foil for a printed circuit board, comprising:

a rust preventing layer formed by a trivalent chromium chemical conversion treatment on the copper foil; and

an alloy plating layer formed under the rust preventing layer,

wherein the copper foil comprises at least one of copper and copper alloy,

the alloy plating layer comprises nickel and cobalt, the total amount of which is 5 to 20 μg/cm 2 , and

the alloy plating layer comprises cobalt whose concentration in the alloy plating layer is 60 to 80% by mass.

7. The copper foil for the printed circuit board according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a zinc galvanized layer formed between the rust preventing layer and the alloy plating layer,

wherein the zinc galvanized layer comprises 0.5 to 3 μg/cm 2 of zinc.

8. The copper foil for the printed circuit board according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a roughening treatment layer formed under the alloy plating layer; and

a copper plating treatment layer formed at least one of under and on the roughening treatment layer.

9. The copper foil for the printed circuit board according to claim 7 , further comprising:

a roughening treatment layer formed under the alloy plating layer; and

a copper plating treatment layer formed at least one of under and on the roughening treatment layer.

10. The copper foil for the printed circuit board according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a silane coupling treatment layer formed on the rust preventing layer,

wherein the silane coupling treatment layer is made by heating and drying a silane coupling treating agent at a temperature of 150 to 300° C.
