Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A surface treated copper foil 1 includes a copper foil 2, and a first surface treatment layer 3 formed on one surface of the copper foil 2. The first surface treatment layer 3 of the surface treated copper foil 1 has a Ni deposited amount of 20 to 200 μg/dm2 and a Zn deposited amount of 20 to 1,000 μg/dm2. A copper clad laminate 10 includes the surface treated copper foil 1 and an insulating substrate 11 adhered to the first surface treatment layer 3 of the surface treated copper foil 1.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A surface treated copper foil comprising a copper foil, and a first surface treatment layer formed on one surface of the copper foil, and a second surface treatment layer formed on the other surface of the copper foil, wherein the first surface treatment layer comprises a Ni deposited amount of 20 to 200 μg/dm 2 and a Zn deposited amount of more than 300 μg/dm 2 to 1,000 μg/dm 2 , and the second surface treatment layer comprises a Zn deposited amount of 10 to 1000 μg/dm 2 . 2. The surface treated copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the Ni deposited amount of the first surface treatment layer is from 20 to 180 μg/dm 2 . 3. The surface treated copper foil according to claim 2 , wherein the Ni deposited amount of the first surface treatment layer is from 30 to 100 μg/dm 2 . 4. The surface treated copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the Zn deposited amount of the first surface treatment layer is from 346 to 700 μg/dm 2 . 5. The surface treated copper foil according to claim 4 , wherein the Zn deposited amount of the first surface treatment layer is from 346 to 500 μg/dm 2 . 6. The surface treated copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the first surface treatment layer comprises a Co deposited amount of 30 μg/dm 2 or less. 7. The surface treated copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the first surface treatment layer comprises Rz of 0.3 to 1.5 μm. 8. The surface treated copper foil according to claim 7 , wherein the Rz of the first surface treatment layer is from 0.4 to 1.2 μm. 9. The surface treated copper foil according to claim 7 , wherein the Rz of the first surface treatment layer is from 0.5 to 0.9 μm. 10. The surface treated copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the Ni deposited amount of the first surface treatment layer to a Ni deposited amount of the second surface treatment layer is 0.01 to 2.5. 11. The surface treated copper foil according to claim 10 , wherein the ratio of the Ni deposited amounts is from 0.6 to 2.2. 12. The surface treated copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the copper foil is a rolled copper foil. 13. The surface treated copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the first surface treatment layer is to be adhered to an insulating substrate. 14. A copper clad laminate comprising the surface treated copper foil according to claim 1 , and an insulating substrate adhered to the first surface treatment layer of the surface treated copper foil. 15. A printed circuit board comprising a circuit pattern formed by etching the surface treated copper foil of the copper clad laminate according to claim 14 . 16. The surface treated copper foil according to claim 5 , wherein a ratio of the Ni deposited amount of the first surface treatment layer to a Ni deposited amount of the second surface treatment layer is 0.01 to 2.5. 17. The surface treated copper foil according to claim 16 , wherein the ratio of the Ni deposited amounts is from 0.6 to 2.2. 18. The surface treated copper foil according to claim 17 , wherein the first surface treatment layer comprises a Co deposited amount of 30 μg/dm 2 or less. 19. The surface treated copper foil according to claim 18 , wherein the first surface treatment layer comprises Rz of 0.3 to 1.5 μm.
