Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to electrodeposited copper foil having an elongation measured at 180° C. in excess of about 5.5%, an ultimate tensile strength measured at 23° C. in excess of about 60,000 psi, and a matte-side R tm in the range of about 4.5 to about 18 μm. This invention also relates to a process for making electrodeposited copper foil which comprises: preparing a copper deposition bath comprising water, copper ions and sulfate ions, said bath containing less than about 20 ppm chloride ions; and applying electric current to said bath to electrodeposit copper from said bath using a current density in the range of about 200 to about 3000 amps per square foot.
