Abstract

Abstract A thin copper foil for a printed wiring board comprising a copper foil supporter having a surface with a roughness; a parting payer consisting of chrome compound; a thin copper foil layer formed on the parting layer which will be attached to a board as printed wiring. A copper-nickel compound metal layer is interposed between the parting layer and the thin copper foil layer, wherein said copper-nickel compound metal layer is formed to be integral with the thin copper foil layer with a peel strength therebetween such that said copper-nickel compound metal layer will be left on the thin copper layer when the parting layer with the copper foil supporter is peeled off.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 135 words
A thin copper foil for a printed wiring board comprising: a copper foil supporter having a surface with a roughness of at least 1 μm; a parting layer consisting of chrome compound formed by a chromate treatment of first surface; a thin copper foil layer formed on the parting layer which will be attached to a board as printed wiring to thereby form the printed wiring board; and a copper-nickel compound metal layer interposed between the parting layer and the thin copper foil layer, wherein said copper-nickel compound metal layer is formed to be integral with the thin copper foil layer with a peel strength there between such that said copper-nickel compound metal layer will be left on the thin copper foil layer when the parting layer with the copper foil supporter is peeled off.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 135 words
A thin copper foil for a printed wiring board comprising: a copper foil supporter having a surface with a roughness of at least 1 μm; a parting layer consisting of chrome compound formed by a chromate treatment of first surface; a thin copper foil layer formed on the parting layer which will be attached to a board as printed wiring to thereby form the printed wiring board; and a copper-nickel compound metal layer interposed between the parting layer and the thin copper foil layer, wherein said copper-nickel compound metal layer is formed to be integral with the thin copper foil layer with a peel strength there between such that said copper-nickel compound metal layer will be left on the thin copper foil layer when the parting layer with the copper foil supporter is peeled off.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 69 words
