High tensile strength electrodeposited copper foil

摘要

A high tensile strength copper foil having a matte side roughness Rz of 2.5 mum or less and a tensile strength of 40,000 Kgf/mm2 after heating one hour at 180° C. is produced by a process in which copper is electrodeposited from a solution containing predetermined small amounts of a polyether glycol and tin and iron ions. The chloride ion content is maintained below 0.1 wt. ppm. The copper foil is characterized by having copper crystals with atomic cells having a predominently (111) orientation.
