Description

Surface-treated copper foil, copper-clad laminate, and printed wiring board
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a surface-treated copper foil, a copper-clad laminate, and a printed wiring board.
Background
Copper-clad laminates are widely used for various applications such as flexible printed wiring boards. The flexible printed wiring board is manufactured by forming a conductor pattern (also referred to as a "wiring pattern") by etching a copper foil of a copper-clad laminate, and then connecting and mounting electronic components to the conductor pattern by solder.
In recent years, with the increase in communication speed and capacity in electronic devices such as personal computers and mobile terminals, there has been a demand for flexible printed wiring boards capable of coping with higher frequencies of electric signals. In particular, the higher the frequency of the electric signal, the greater the loss (attenuation) of the signal power, and the more easily the data cannot be read out, and therefore, the reduction of the loss of the signal power is required.
The reasons for the signal power loss (transmission loss) in electronic circuits can be largely divided into two types. One is conductor loss, i.e., loss caused by copper foil, and the other is dielectric loss, i.e., loss caused by resin base material.
The conductor loss has a characteristic that a skin effect exists in a high frequency band and a current flows on the surface of the conductor, so that if the surface of the copper foil is roughened, the current flows along a complicated path. Therefore, in order to reduce the conductor loss of the high-frequency signal, it is desirable to reduce the surface roughness of the copper foil. Hereinafter, in the present specification, the terms "transmission loss" and "conductor loss" will be mainly used to refer to "transmission loss of a high-frequency signal" and "conductor loss of a high-frequency signal".
On the other hand, since dielectric loss depends on the kind of resin base material, it is desirable to use a resin base material made of a low dielectric material (e.g., a liquid crystal polymer or a low dielectric polyimide) for a circuit board in which a high frequency signal flows. Further, dielectric loss is also affected by the adhesive between the adhesive copper foil and the resin base material, so that it is preferable that the adhesive is not used between the adhesive copper foil and the resin base material.
In order to bond the copper foil to the resin base material without using an adhesive, it is proposed to form a surface-treated layer on at least one surface of the copper foil. For example, patent document 1 proposes the following method: a roughened layer formed of roughened particles is provided on the copper foil, and a silane coupling layer is formed on the outermost layer.

Problems to be solved by the invention
In general, minute irregularities are present on the surface of the copper foil on which the surface treatment layer is formed. For example, in the case of rolling a copper foil, oil pits formed by rolling oil during rolling are formed on the surface in the form of minute concave-convex portions. In the case of an electrolytic copper foil, polishing streaks of a rotary drum formed during polishing cause precipitation of minute uneven portions formed on the rotary drum side surface of the electrolytic copper foil on the rotary drum.
If there are minute irregularities on the copper foil surface, for example, when forming the roughened layer, current is concentrated at the convex portions on the copper foil surface, and the roughened particles excessively grow, while current is not sufficiently supplied to the concave portions on the copper foil surface and the periphery thereof, and it is difficult to grow the roughened particles. As a result, coarse roughening particles are formed on the convex portions on the copper foil surface, while the roughening particles in the concave portions on the copper foil surface and the concave portions around the concave portions are too small, and in particular, the adhesion of the roughening particles near the ends of the oil pits is insufficient, that is, the roughening particles on the copper foil surface are not uniformly formed. When a force is applied to the surface treated copper foil to peel the surface treated copper foil after the surface treated copper foil is bonded to the resin base material, the surface treated copper foil containing a large number of coarse roughened particles may be easily broken due to concentration of stress in the coarse roughened particles, and as a result, the adhesion to the resin base material may be reduced. Further, in the surface-treated copper foil having insufficient size of roughened particles, anchor effect due to the roughened particles may be reduced, and adhesiveness between the copper foil and the resin base material may not be sufficiently obtained.
In particular, since resin substrates made of low dielectric materials such as liquid crystal polymers and low dielectric polyimides are less likely to adhere to copper foil than conventional resin substrates, development of a method for improving adhesion between copper foil and resin substrates is desired.
The silane coupling treatment layer has an effect of improving adhesion between the copper foil and the resin base material, but the effect of improving adhesion may be insufficient depending on the kind thereof.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a surface-treated copper foil capable of improving adhesion to a resin substrate, particularly a resin substrate suitable for high-frequency applications.
In another embodiment, the present invention is directed to a copper-clad laminate excellent in adhesion between a resin base material, particularly a resin base material suitable for high-frequency applications, and a surface-treated copper foil.
In another embodiment, the present invention is directed to a printed wiring board excellent in adhesion between a resin base material, particularly a resin base material suitable for high-frequency applications, and a circuit pattern.
Technical proposal for solving the problems
The inventors of the present invention have made intensive studies on a surface-treated copper foil to solve the above problems, and as a result, have found that: by adding a minute amount of tungsten compound to the plating solution for forming the roughened layer, the overgrowth of the roughened particles of the convex portion formed on the copper foil surface is suppressed, and the roughened particles are easily formed around the concave portion on the copper foil surface. Then, the inventors of the present invention analyzed the surface shape of the surface-treated copper foil thus obtained, and found that the rate of change in Vmc of the surface-treated layer was closely related to the surface shape thereof, thereby completing the embodiment of the present invention.
That is, in one embodiment, the present invention relates to a surface-treated copper foil comprising a copper foil and a surface-treated layer formed on at least one surface of the copper foil, wherein the rate of change of Vmc represented by the above formula (1) is 23.00 to 40.00%.

Detailed Description
The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below, but the present invention should not be construed as being limited thereto, and various changes, modifications and the like may be made based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the gist of the present invention. The plurality of constituent elements disclosed in the following embodiments may be appropriately combined to form various inventions. For example, some of the constituent elements may be deleted from all the constituent elements shown in the following embodiments, or constituent elements of different embodiments may be appropriately combined.
The surface treated copper foil of the embodiment of the present invention has a copper foil and a surface treated layer formed on at least one surface of the copper foil.
The surface treatment layer may be formed on only one side of the copper foil, or may be formed on both sides of the copper foil. When the surface treatment layers are formed on both surfaces of the copper foil, the types of the surface treatment layers may be the same or different.
The surface shape of the surface treatment layer may be specified using surface texture parameters by following ISO 25178-2:2012, and analyzing a load curve calculated from the measurement data.
In describing the load curve, the load area ratio will be described first.
The load area ratio is a ratio obtained by dividing a region corresponding to a cross section of a three-dimensional object to be measured when the object is cut at a certain height by the area of the measurement view. In the present invention, a copper foil, a surface-treated layer of a surface-treated copper foil, or the like is set as a measurement object. The load curve is a curve representing the load area ratio at each height. The vicinity of the load area ratio 0% represents the height of the highest portion of the object to be measured, and the vicinity of the load area ratio 100% represents the height of the lowest portion of the object to be measured.
Next, fig. 1 shows a typical load curve of the surface treatment layer. The loading curve can be used to represent the solid and space volumes of the surface treatment layer. The solid volume corresponds to the volume of the portion of the measurement target object in the measurement view, and the space volume corresponds to the volume of the space between the solid portions in the measurement view. In the load curve described in the present invention, the load area ratio is divided into a valley portion, a core portion, and a mountain portion by dividing the load area ratio into 10% and 80%. When the surface treatment layer according to the embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to fig. 1, vvv is the volume of the space at the valley of the surface treatment layer, vvc is the volume of the space at the core of the surface treatment layer, vmp is the volume of the solid at the mountain of the surface treatment layer, and Vmc is the volume of the solid at the core of the surface treatment layer.
The mountain portion is a portion of the object to be measured having a high height. The valley portion is a portion of the object to be measured having a low height. The core portion is a portion of the object to be measured other than the mountain portion and the valley portion, that is, a portion close to the average height.
The solid portion volume Vmp at the mountain portion is the volume of the solid portion at the mountain portion, that is, the portion where the height of the object to be measured is high, and the solid portion volume at the portion where the height of the surface treatment layer is particularly high. The solid portion at a portion of the surface-treated layer having a particularly high height is explained as a portion caused by excessively grown particles (particularly roughened particles) among the particles.
The solid portion volume Vmc at the core portion is the volume of the solid portion at the core portion, that is, at a portion of the object to be measured close to the average height, and is the volume of the solid portion at the portion of the average height of the surface treatment layer. Here, the solid portion at the portion of the average height of the surface treatment layer may be interpreted as a portion due to average-sized particles (particularly roughened particles) formed at a relatively smooth portion of the copper foil surface.
In summary, the present inventors have found that, as a result of the analysis in the above manner, the following findings are obtained: in the surface treated copper foil of the embodiment of the present invention, vmp is related to the solid volume of the overgrown large particles, and Vmc is related to the solid volume of the average size particles. In the following, the case where the coarsened particles are used as particles will be described as an example, but it should be noted that the particles are not limited to coarsened particles.
The measurement data for measuring the surface properties of the surface treated copper foil according to the embodiment of the present invention can be obtained by using a laser microscope such as a confocal laser microscope. The measurement data can be separated into waveforms having various periods and amplitudes by performing fourier transform on the measurement data. The inventors considered that the surface texture parameters to be noted can be calculated from the measurement data by applying a filter for attenuating the amplitudes of the waveforms of the frequencies in the specific range to the separated waveforms, and then synthesizing all the waveforms again and analyzing the synthesized data.
In analyzing the measurement data of the surface roughness, the present inventors have found that: by combining the surface texture parameter calculated by applying the λs filter having the cutoff value λs of 2 μm and the surface texture parameter calculated by not applying the λs filter, detailed information of the characteristic surface shape (particularly, the adhesion state of roughened particles constituting the surface treatment layer) of the surface treatment layer according to the embodiment of the present invention can be obtained.
Here, the λs filter is a contour filter that greatly attenuates the amplitude of a waveform having a wavelength smaller than the cutoff value λs. The λs filter corresponds to ISO 25178-2:2012, S filters in 2012. The magnitude of the amplitude attenuation by the λs filter varies depending on the wavelength of the waveform. The amplitude is attenuated to 50% of the original value at the wavelength of the cutoff value λs, and the amplitude is attenuated more greatly at the waveform having the smaller wavelength.
The cutoff value λs of 2 μm is a size between the size of the roughened particles constituting the surface-treated layer and the size of the oil pits. The measurement data obtained by setting the cutoff value λs to 2 μm is derived from a waveform having a shorter period than the cutoff value λs, and thus can be understood as data obtained by removing the data derived from coarsened particles. Based on this, it is possible to eliminate the difference between the surface property parameter calculated by applying the λs filter having the cutoff value λs of 2 μm and the surface property parameter calculated by applying the λs filter, and to remove the information of the oil pit, that is, the information of the roughened particles constituting the surface treated layer.
Based on the findings described above, the inventors of the present invention have found that the rate of change in Vmc of the surface treated layer expressed by the following formula (1) is closely related to the amount of attached roughened particles constituting the average size of the surface treated layer, after analyzing various surface property parameters obtained from the load curve.
Rate of change of vmc= (P2-P1)/p2x100· (1)
Where P1 is Vmc calculated by applying a λs filter having a cutoff value λs of 2 μm, and P2 is Vmc calculated by not applying the λs filter.
Here, fig. 2 shows a schematic overview for explaining roughened particles and Vmc constituting the surface treatment layer. As shown in fig. 2, the surface-treated layer includes coarsened particles a of an average size and coarsened particles B that overgrow. As described above, it is considered that Vmc corresponds to the volume of the average size roughening particles a formed in the relatively smooth portion of the copper foil surface, and is related to the amount of the average size roughening particles a attached. Vmc is not affected much by macroscopic shapes such as pits, and the macroscopic shapes need to be removed in order to read information of the surface treatment layer more accurately. P1 can be interpreted as the Vmc value after removing the information from the coarsening particle, in other words, the Vmc value for retaining the information from the oil pit or the like. Taking the difference between P2 and P1 means removing the information from macroscopic shapes such as oil pits contained in Vmc. As a result, information on the amount of adhesion of coarsened particles a of the average size can be extracted with high accuracy.
The average size of the roughened particles a formed on the relatively smooth portion of the copper foil surface is considered to be greatly related to the adhesion between the resin base material and the surface-treated layer. It is thought that overgrown (coarse) coarsened particles B cause coarsening fracture, whereas too small coarsened particles do not embed into the resin substrate at all. Therefore, the surface treated copper foil is formed so that the rate of change in Vmc of the surface treated layer in relation to the average amount of adhesion of the roughened particles a is controlled within an appropriate range, whereby the adhesion to the resin base material can be improved.
From this point of view, the surface treated copper foil of the embodiment of the present invention having a change rate of Vmc of 23.00 to 40.00% exhibits sufficient adhesion to the resin base material. From the viewpoint of stably obtaining this effect, the rate of change in Vmc is preferably 23.00 to 32.00%, more preferably 23.00 to 31.00%.
In the surface treatment layer, sku (kurtosis) calculated without applying the λs filter is preferably 2.50 to 4.50.
Sku is a parameter indicating how sharp the histogram is (sharpness) when the histogram of the height is created based on the average height. For example, in the case of sku=3.00, this means that the height distribution is a normal distribution. In the case of Sku >3.00, the larger the numerical value is, the more concentrated the height distribution is. Conversely, in the case of Sku <3.00, the smaller the value, the more dispersed the height distribution.
The surface-treated copper foil of the embodiment of the present invention has irregularities on the surface for improving adhesion of the copper foil to a resin base material. Sku of the surface treatment layer serves as an index for evaluating the height distribution of the irregularities.
The Sku of the surface-treated layer is 2.50 to 4.50, which means that the height distribution is a normal distribution or a distribution close to this. On the other hand, when Sku of the surface treatment layer is less than 2.50, the low-height portion (height from the copper foil surface) of the surface treatment layer is variously interlaced with the high-height portion, and as a result, the height distribution is not biased. The Sku of the surface treatment layer being greater than 4.50 means a highly distributed distribution state, that is, a state in which the surface of the surface treatment layer is a portion of a certain height to occupy a plurality of places prominently.
The height distribution of the surface treatment layer is a normal distribution or a distribution close to the normal distribution, which means that, for example, when the roughened layer is formed on the copper foil surface, particles that excessively grow on the convex portions on the copper foil surface, that is, coarse particles, or the number of portions where no particles are formed in the periphery of the concave portions (the ends of the convex portions) on the copper foil surface is small. Therefore, the Sku of the surface-treated layer is 2.50 to 4.50, which means that the overgrowth of particles of the convex portion formed on the copper foil surface is suppressed, and roughened particles are also formed around the concave portion on the copper foil surface.
The surface treated copper foil having a large number of coarse particles and the surface treated copper foil having a portion where no particles are formed are not preferable from the viewpoint of adhesion to a resin base material. For example, in a surface treated copper foil having a large number of coarse particles, it is considered that when a force for peeling the surface treated copper foil is applied after bonding to a resin base material, stress concentrates on the coarse particles and is likely to break, and as a result, adhesion to the resin base material is rather lowered. In addition, in the surface-treated copper foil having a portion where particles are not formed, it is considered that the following may be the case: the anchoring effect due to the particles cannot be sufficiently ensured, and the adhesion between the surface-treated copper foil and the resin base material is reduced.
Therefore, from the viewpoint of stably obtaining the adhesion to the resin substrate, the lower limit value of Sku of the surface treatment layer is preferably 2.90, and the upper limit value is preferably 4.10.
Furthermore, sku of the surface treatment layer may be according to ISO 25178-2:2012, and analyzing a contour curve calculated from the measurement data, thereby specifying the surface roughness.
The Sq (root mean square height) calculated by the surface treatment layer without applying the λs filter is preferably 0.20 to 0.60 μm. Sq is defined by ISO 25178-2:2012, the parameter in the height direction, which indicates the variation in the height of the convex portion on the surface of the surface treatment layer.
The large Sq of the surface treatment layer means that the variation in height of the convex portion on the surface of the surface treatment layer is large. If Sq is too large (the variation in the height of the convex portion is too large), there is a problem from the viewpoint of quality control of industrial products. Therefore, by setting the Sq of the surface-treated layer to the above range, it is possible to ensure productivity by slightly allowing the variation in the height of the convex portion, and to perform appropriate quality control. From the viewpoint of stably obtaining such an effect, the lower limit value of the Sq of the surface treatment layer is preferably 0.26 μm, more preferably 0.30 μm, still more preferably 0.34 μm, and the upper limit value is preferably 0.53 μm, more preferably 0.48 μm, still more preferably 0.43 μm.
Furthermore, sq of the surface treatment layer may be in accordance with ISO 25178-2:2012, and analyzing a contour curve calculated from the measurement data, thereby specifying the surface roughness.
The Sa (arithmetic mean height) calculated by the surface treatment layer without applying the λs filter is preferably 0.20 to 0.40 μm. Sa is defined by ISO 25178-2:2012, the parameter in the height direction represents the average of the height differences from the average surface.
If Sa of the surface treatment layer is large, the surface of the surface treatment layer becomes rough, and therefore, when the surface treatment copper foil is bonded to the resin base material, the anchor effect is easily exerted. On the other hand, if Sa of the surface treatment layer is too large, when a circuit board is manufactured by processing a copper-clad laminate obtained by bonding a surface-treated copper foil and a resin base material, transmission loss increases due to the skin effect of the surface-treated copper foil. Therefore, by setting Sa of the surface treatment layer to the above range, it is possible to ensure a balance between ensuring adhesion of the surface treated copper foil to the resin base material and suppressing transmission loss. From the viewpoint of stably obtaining such an effect, the lower limit value of Sa of the surface treatment layer is preferably 0.23 μm, more preferably 0.24 μm, and the upper limit value is preferably 0.35 μm.
In the case where suppression of transmission loss due to skin effect and easiness of quality control of industrial products are important, the surface treatment layer preferably has a Sa of 0.20 to 0.32 μm and a Sq of 0.26 to 0.40 μm.
Furthermore, sa of the surface treatment layer may be according to ISO 25178-2:2012, and analyzing a contour curve calculated from the measurement data, thereby specifying the surface roughness.
Ssk (distortion) calculated by the surface treatment layer without applying the λs filter is preferably-1.10 to 0.60.
Ssk is a parameter representing the degree of skew (skew) of a histogram of height when the histogram is created based on the average height. For example, in the case of ssk=0.00, this means that the height distribution is symmetrical with respect to the mean line. In the case where Ssk >0.00, the larger the value is, the more downward the height distribution is with respect to the average line. Conversely, in the case of Ssk <0.00, the smaller the value, the more upward the height distribution is to be inclined with respect to the average line. Therefore, ssk of the surface treatment layer is the same as Sku, and is an index for evaluating the height distribution of the irregularities of the surface treatment layer.
For example, when a roughened layer is formed on the copper foil surface, ssk of-1.10 to 0.60 means that coarse roughening particles, which are roughening particles excessively grown on the convex portions on the copper foil surface, or that few sites are formed around the concave portions (ends of the convex portions) on the copper foil surface where no roughening particles are formed. On the other hand, if the number of the roughened particles is less than-1.10, the roughened particles are not formed around the recessed portion on the copper foil surface. If Ssk exceeds 0.60, the number of roughened particles excessively grown on the convex portions on the copper foil surface is increased.
From the viewpoint of stably obtaining adhesion to the resin substrate, the upper limit value of Ssk of the surface treatment layer is preferably 0.40, and the lower limit value is preferably-0.80.
Furthermore, ssk of the surface treatment layer may be in accordance with ISO 25178-2:2012, and analyzing a contour curve calculated from the measurement data, thereby specifying the surface roughness.
The type of the surface treatment layer is not particularly limited, and various surface treatment layers known in the art can be used.
Examples of the surface-treated layer include a roughened layer, a heat-resistant layer, an anti-rust layer, a chromate layer, a silane coupling layer, and the like. The layers may be used singly or in combination of 2 or more. Among them, the surface-treated layer preferably contains a roughened layer from the viewpoint of adhesion to the resin base material.
In the case where the surface-treated layer contains 1 or more kinds of layers selected from the group consisting of a heat-resistant treated layer, a rust-preventive treated layer, a chromate treated layer and a silane coupling treated layer, the layers are preferably provided on the roughened layer.
Here, fig. 3 is a schematic enlarged cross-sectional view of a surface-treated copper foil having a roughened layer on one surface of the copper foil as an example.
As shown in fig. 3, the roughened layer formed on one surface of the copper foil 10 includes roughened particles 20 and a coating layer 30 coating at least a part of the roughened particles 20. The roughened particles 20 are formed not only near the center of the convex portion 11 on the surface of the copper foil 10 but also around the concave portion 12 (end portions of the convex portion 11). Further, since a minute amount of tungsten compound is added to the plating solution, overgrowth of the roughened particles 20 of the protrusions 11 formed on the surface of the copper foil 10 is suppressed. Therefore, the coarsened particles 20 have a complex shape that grows in all directions without overgrowing into particles having a large particle diameter. It is considered that such a structure can be obtained by controlling the rate of change of Vmc of the surface treatment layer to the above range.
The coarsening particles 20 are not particularly limited, and may be formed of a single element selected from the group consisting of copper, nickel, cobalt, phosphorus, tungsten, arsenic, molybdenum, chromium, and zinc, or an alloy containing 2 or more of these elements.

The content of the tungsten compound in the plating solution is preferably 1ppm or more. If the content is such, the coarsening particles 20 formed on the convex portion 11 are prevented from overgrowing, and the coarsening particles 20 are easily formed around the concave portion 12. The upper limit of the content of the tungsten compound is not particularly limited, but is preferably 20ppm from the viewpoint of suppressing an increase in resistance.

After the surface-treated copper foil was bonded to the polyimide resin base material, a circuit having a width of 3mm was formed in the MD direction (the longitudinal direction of the rolled copper foil). The formation of the circuit is carried out according to a usual method. Next, according to JIS C6471:1995, measured the strength (MD 90 ° peel strength) when a circuit (surface-treated copper foil) was peeled off from the surface of a resin substrate in the 90 ° direction at a speed of 50 mm/min, i.e., vertically upward from the surface of the resin substrate. The measurement was performed 3 times, and the average value was used as a result of peel strength. When the peel strength is 0.50kgf/cm or more, it can be said that the adhesion between the circuit (surface-treated copper foil) and the resin substrate is good.
