Abstract:
1. A process to manufacture fine grain surface copper foil for being favorable for environmental protection as well as high peeling strength of the same used for printed circuit boards, consisting of the steps of: (1) washing an adhering surface of a copper foil through an acidic washing, said acidic washing being a solution consisting of copper sulfate pentahydrate having a concentration between about 245-265 g/l and sulfuric acid having a concentration between about 90-100 g/l; (2) electroplating the washed adhering surface of the copper foil to form a roughening treatment layer by subjecting said washed adhering surface of the copper foil to an electroplating treatment using a plating solution consisting of copper sulfate pentahydrate having a concentration exceeding 80 g/l and less than 90 g/l, sulfuric acid having a concentration of between about 90-100 g/l and trace sodium phosphotungstate between about 15-55 ppm; (3) washing the copper foil of step (2) with water, and electroplating the roughening treatment layer of the copper foil to form a roughening copper layer by subjecting said copper foil to an electroplating treatment using a plating solution consisting of copper sulfate pentahydrate having a concentration of 300 g/l and sulfuric acid having a concentration of 100 g/l; (4) washing the copper foil of step (3) with water and electroplating the roughening copper layer of the copper foil to form a composite metal layer by subjecting said roughening copper layer of the copper foil to an electroplating treatment through using the same plating solution as used in step (2); and (5) washing the copper foil of step (4) with water and electroplating the composite metal layer of the copper foil to form a complete roughening layer by subjecting the composite metal layer of the copper foil to an electroplating treatment through using the same plating solution as used in step (3).
