Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a roughened copper foil capable of achieving both excellent transmission characteristics and suppression of powdering. This roughened copper foil includes a roughened surface on at least one side. The roughened surface has a roughness slope tan θ of 0.58 or less as calculated based on a mean height Rc (μm) and a mean width RSm (μm) of profile elements by formula Rc/(0.5×RSm), and a sharpness index Rc×Sku of 2.35 or less that is a product of the mean height Rc (μm) and a kurtosis Sku. Rc and RSm are values measured in accordance with JIS B0601-2013 under a condition of not performing a cutoff by a cutoff value λs and a cutoff value λc, and Sku is a value measured in accordance with ISO 25178 under a condition of not performing a cutoff using an S filter and an L filter.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A roughened copper foil comprising a roughened surface on at least one side, wherein the roughened surface has a roughness slope tan θ of 0.58 or less as calculated based on a mean height Rc (μm) and a mean width RSm (μm) of profile elements by formula Rc/(0.5×RSm), and wherein the roughened surface has a sharpness index Rc×Sku of 2.35 or less that is a product of the mean height Rc (μm) and a kurtosis Sku, wherein Rc and RSm are values measured in accordance with JIS B0601-2013 under a condition of not performing a cutoff by a cutoff value λs and a cutoff value λc, and Sku is a value measured in accordance with ISO 25178 under a condition of not performing a cutoff using an S filter and an L filter. 2 . The roughened copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the roughened surface has a developed interfacial area ratio Sdr of 15.0% or more and 30.0% or less, wherein Sdr is a value measured in accordance with ISO 25178 under a condition of not performing a cutoff using the S filter and the L filter. 3 . The roughened copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the roughened surface has the mean height Rc of 0.40 μm or more and 0.60 μm or less. 4 . The roughened copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the roughened surface has an arithmetic mean height Sa of 0.15 μm or more and 0.33 μm or less, wherein Sa is a value measured in accordance with ISO 25178 under a condition of not performing a cutoff using the S filter and the L filter. 5 . The roughened copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the roughened surface has a root mean square height Sq of 0.23 μm or more and 0.40 μm or less, wherein Sq is a value measured in accordance with ISO 25178 under a condition of not performing a cutoff using the S filter and the L filter. 6 . The roughened copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the roughened surface has the mean width RSm of the profile elements of 2.80 μm or more and 6.00 μm or less. 7 . The roughened copper foil according to claim 1 , further comprising a rust proofing layer and/or a silane coupling agent layer on the roughened surface. 8 . The roughened copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the roughened copper foil is an electrodeposited copper foil, and the roughened surface is present on an electrode side of the electrodeposited copper foil. 9 . A copper-clad laminate comprising the roughened copper foil according to claim 1 . 10 . A printed wiring board comprising the roughened copper foil according to claim 1 .
