Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide an electrodeposited copper foil which has a lower profile and a higher gloss than low-profile electrodeposited copper foil conventionally supplied in markets. For achieving this object, the present invention employs an electrodeposited copper foil which has a super low profile, the surface roughness (Rzjis) of the deposit side of lower than 1.0-micron meter, and the gloss [Gs(60-deg.)] thereof of not lower than 400 irrespective to its thickness. The present invention also provides a manufacturing method of an electrodeposited copper foil obtained by electrodeposition using a sulfuric acid base copper electrolytic solution obtained by adding 3-mercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid and/or bis(3-sulfopropyl)disulfide, a quaternary ammonium salt polymer having a cyclic structure, and chlorine.

Claims (21)

1. An electrodeposited copper foil comprising:

a deposit side;

a shiny side;

the deposit side having:

a surface roughness (Rzjis) lower than 0.60-micron meter;

a gloss [Gs(60-deg.)] not lower than 700; and

a relationship wherein a gloss [Gs(20-deg.)] is greater than a gloss [Gs(60-deg.)], wherein the gloss [Gs(60-deg.)] of the deposit side has a ratio of a TD gloss measured in the transverse direction to an MD gloss measured in the machine direction [TD gloss/MD gloss] of between 0.9 and 1.1.

2. An electrodeposited copper foil having a deposit side and a shiny side, wherein the deposit side thereof has a surface roughness (Rzjis) lower than 1.0-micron meter, a gloss [Gs(60-deg.)] not lower than 400, and a relationship of a gloss [Gs(20-deg.)] >a gloss [Gs(60-deg.)], wherein the gloss [Gs(60-deg.)] of the deposit side has a ratio of a TD gloss measured in the transverse direction to an MD gloss measured in the machine direction [TD gloss/MD gloss] of between 0.9 and 1.1.

3. The electrodeposited copper foil according to claim 2 , wherein a the shiny side thereof has a surface roughness (Rzjis) of lower than 2.0-micron meter, and a gloss [Gs(60-deg.)] of not lower than 70.

4. The electrodeposited copper foil according to claim 2 , wherein the copper foil as received has a tensile strength of not less than 33 kgf/mm 2 , and an elongation of not less than 5%.

5. The electrodeposited copper foil according to claim 2 , wherein the copper foil after heating (180° C.×60 min, in the air) has a tensile strength of not less than 30 kgf/mm 2 , and an elongation of not less than 8%.

6. A surface-treated electrodeposited copper foil, obtained by subjecting the deposit side surface or the shiny side surface of the electrodeposited copper foil according to claim 2 to at least one treatment selected from a rustproofing treatment and a silane coupling agent treatment.

7. The surface-treated electrodeposited copper foil according to claim 6 , wherein a surface roughness (Rzjis) of the treated surface is not more than 1.5-micron meter.

8. The surface-treated electrodeposited copper foil according to claim 6 , wherein a gloss [Gs(60-deg.)] of the treated surface is not lower than 250.

9. The surface-treated electrodeposited copper foil according to claim 6 , wherein the treated surface is roughened.

10. The surface-treated electrodeposited copper foil according to claim 6 , wherein the treated surface is the deposit side of the electrodeposited copper foil.

11. A copper-clad laminate, obtained by laminating the surface-treated electrodeposited copper foil according to claim 6 to an insulating layer-forming material.

12. The copper-clad laminate according to claim 11 , wherein the insulating layer-forming material contains a skeletal material to form a rigid copper-clad laminate.

13. A rigid printed wiring board, obtain by using the rigid copper-clad laminate according to claim 12 .

14. The copper-clad laminate according to claim 11 , wherein the insulating layer-forming material is formed of a flexible material to form a flexible copper-clad laminate.

15. A flexible printed wiring board, obtained by using the flexible copper-clad laminate according to claim 14 .
