Provided is a rolled copper or copper alloy foil having a roughened surface formed of fine copper particles, obtained by subjecting a rolled copper or copper alloy foil to roughening plating with a plating bath containing copper sulfate (Cu equivalent of 1 to 50 g/L), 1 to 150 g/L of sulfuric acid, and one or more additives selected among sodium octyl sulfate, sodium decyl sulfate, and sodium dodecyl sulfate under the conditions of a temperature of 20 to 50° C. and a current density of 10 to 100 A/dm2. The provided rolled copper or copper alloy foil subject to roughening is reduced in craters which are obvious defects unique to rolled copper or copper alloy foils having a roughened surface, has high strength, adhesive strength with the resin layer, acid resistance and anti-tin plating solution properties, high peel strength, favorable etching properties and gloss level, and also suits for use in producing a flexible printed wiring board capable of bearing a fine wiring pattern. Additionally provided is a method of roughening the rolled copper or copper alloy foil.
