Abstract
Abstract A copper foil resistant to acids and heat and yet easy to etch is obtained by forming a cobalt layer containing molybdenum and/or tungsten on the bonding surface thereof. Roughening of the foil surface prior to formation of the layer provides highly peel-resistant bonding of the foil thereat to resin-containing substrates of the type found in typical printed circuit boards. The provision of a chromate layer on the cobalt further improves the adhesion between the copper foil and resin-containing substrates.
