HIGH FATIGUE DUCTILITY ELECTRODEPOSITED COPPER FOIL

摘要

This invention relates to an annealable electrodeposited copper foil having a substantially uniform unoriented grain structure that is essentially columnar grain free, said foil being characterized by a fatigue ductility of at least about 25% after being annealed at 177 DEG C. for 15 minutes. In one embodiment, the foil is annealed, said foil being characterized by a fatigue ductility of at least about 65%. The invention also relates to a process for making an electrodeposited copper foil using an electrolyte solution characterized by a critical concentration of chloride ions of up to about 5 ppm and organic additives of up to about 0.2 ppm.
