Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a flexible metal clad laminate, and more particularly to a surface shape which is advantageous for forming a fine pattern. Flexible metal coated laminate. [Prior Art] In recent years, printed circuit boards using Tape Automated Bonding (TAB) or FlexibIe Print Circuit (FPC) have been widely used as electronic products of smaller size and weight. Printed circuit board. So far, this type of printed circuit board is still designed with an adhesive, such as an epoxy adhesive, to adhere a layer of metal film to a layer of soft plastic substrate. However, in order to accommodate more electronic devices, this type of printing The board is lighter and thinner. At the same time, due to the poor adhesion between the plastic substrate and the thin metal, the technology for forming a metal layer without using adhesive bonding has been developed. For example, it is well known that 'metal film is formed by thin film forming technology' such as vacuum deposition, sputtering and ion-electric clocks directly on plastic substrates, and then by techniques such as electrolytic bonding. Stacked into a metal plating layer. If a soft metal-clad laminate is formed by the above method, a wiring pattern can be formed on the upper surface of the flexible metal-clad laminate to produce a variety of products. At this time, precise money engraving techniques are required to form a precise pattern, and the nature of the engraving is greatly related to the sugar content of the surface of the soft metal-clad laminate. However, if only the roughness of the surface is controlled, the accuracy of the fine pattern that can be formed is rather limited, because when a fine pattern is formed on the surface of the uneven shape, even if the roughness of the surface is equal, etching may still occur. Differences such as nature. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The design of the present invention solves the problems of the prior art, and it is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a soft metal-clad laminate suitable for accurately forming a fine pattern by having a fine pattern when forming a fine pattern. The surface of the uneven shape and the chain degree is achieved by applying a light reflection amount. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a soft metal coated laminate suitable for forming a fine pattern comprising a conductive metal layer having a surface roughness (Rz) of 0.5 μm or less, assuming that light is incident at a first incidence When the angle is incident on the surface, the amount of light reflection is I and when the light is incident on the surface at a second incident angle greater than the first incident angle, the amount of light reflection is II, then Π/Ι is 1.0 or more, so that Optimal etch properties are provided when forming a fine pattern. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Before the explanation, it should be understood that the terms used in the scope of this patent specification and the accompanying patent application are not limited to the general term and the meaning of the dictionary, but the term is determined by the inventor according to the principle of the best explanation. The interpretation of 6 1328982 is based on the meaning and viewpoints comparable to the technical point of view of the present invention. Therefore, the descriptions disclosed herein are intended to be illustrative of the preferred embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a preferred embodiment of a soft metal coated laminate suitable for use in the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, in accordance with the present embodiment, a metal coated laminate suitable for a fine pattern includes a polymeric film 10; a metal layer 20 formed with a conductive metal and positioned on the polymeric film 10; Conductive gold 30, which is tied to the metal layer 20. The polymer film 10 preferably has elasticity as a flexible metal film laminate, and is made of, for example, a polyimide film. The polyimide film has good thermal resistance and elasticity and excellent mechanical strength, and its thermal expansion is equivalent to that of copper. Therefore, it is often used as a material for such a polymeric film. The metal layer 20 is formed on the polymerized surface by a vaccum deposition method such as a plating plate and an ion clock. These methods are suitable for enhancing their adhesion. The metal layer 20 is made of copper or an alloy thereof, and nickel or nickel-chromium alloy may also be used. However, the material of the metal layer of the present invention is not limited to other materials. The conductive metal layer 30 is formed on the seed metal layer 20 by electrolytic plating or electroless plating. Among them, electroplating is preferred because it can form a film quickly and economically and has a smooth surface. When electrolytic plating is used, it is obtained by immersing the polymer film 10 in which the seed metal layer 20 is formed in a wet plating solution, and the power source is yin, and the fine-grained soft layer is required to have a tensile system fi I. m film 10 chrome or gold is also decomposed in a good position pole 7 1328982 is connected to the metal layer 20, and then the electrical energy is connected to the anode immersed in the wet plating solution to extract the wet conductive metal layer to the metal layer 20 on. When electroless gold is used, the extracting particles are first attached to the seed metal layer 20 by a palladium salt solution or the like, and the polymer film 10 is immersed in an electroless gold plating solution. The conductive metal layer 30 is preferably copper or an alloy thereof in consideration of electrical conductivity. However, the material of the conductive metal layer 30 is not limited in the present invention, and other materials may be used. Further, the surface roughness of the conductive metal layer 30 is preferably 0.5 μm or less. When forming a fine pattern, the effect of the soft metal coated laminate is considered, and the surface roughness is a considerable factor affecting the etching property. Therefore, the roughness Rz of the formed conductive metal layer is preferably 0.5 μm or less in order to form a fine pattern of less than 50 μm. In the present invention, when wet plating is performed to form the conductive metal layer 30 of the flexible metal-clad laminate, the surface shape of the flexible metal-clad laminate is controlled by the additive added to the electrolyte. For example, in order to change the uneven shape of the soft metal-clad laminate, an additive such as an aqueous cellulose ether having a small molecular weight, an aqueous polyalkylene glycol ether having a small molecular weight, or an aqueous polyethylenimine having a small molecular weight can be used. And aqueous sulfonated organic sulfides. The cross-sectional views of Figs. 2a to 2c show various embodiments of the surface of the flexible metal-clad laminate formed by the above method. Although the roughness is equal, when the fine pattern is formed on a flexible metal-clad laminate which is not flat on the surface, the adhesive property of the mask may be different, and the amount of light reflection on the surface may be different. Referring to Figures 2a to 2c, the uneven surface of Figure 2a is larger and the unevenness of Figure 2c is relatively flat. When the fine pattern is formed, the adhesive property of the mask of Fig. 2c will be superior to that of Fig. 2a. Further, regarding the amount of light reflection of the surface, in the case of a large incident angle B of 70 degrees and a small incident angle A of 5 degrees, the amount of light reflection increases sequentially from the 2ath to the 2ndth. Referring to Fig. 2a, when the uneven shape is the same, in the case of a large incident angle B of 70 degrees, since the uneven height is greater than the inclination angle of the light, the light is intercepted, so the light reflection at the incident angle B at a large angle of 70 degrees The amount is reduced by a smaller incident angle A than 5 degrees. However, referring to Fig. 2c, when the uneven shape is the same, the large incident angle B of 70 degrees has additional scattered light added to its actual light reflection amount, so that the amount of light reflection is smaller than the small incident angle A of 5 degrees. increase. If the above method is used to measure the amount of light reflection on the surface of the flexible metal-clad laminate, the uneven shape formed on the surface can be understood. The effect of various uneven shapes on the formation of fine patterns will be explained below. The cross-sectional views of Figs. 3a to 3c are a brief view showing various etching properties of a fine pattern formed in accordance with the uneven shape of the surface of the flexible metal-clad laminate. Referring to Figures 3a to 3c, each has a flexible metal-clad laminate 101, 102, 103 comprising a metal layer and a conductive metal layer formed on the polymeric film; a photoresist layer 200 attached to the soft metal The cover layer 9 1328982 is formed on the plates 101, 102, 103; and a mask 300 on which the desired fine pattern can be formed. When an etching cap 201, 202, 203 is prepared for the photoresist layer 200 via exposure and development processes, the etching cap 201 of Fig. 3a is damaged by severe light scattering. When etching is performed in a subsequent process, it will damage the desired fine pattern, and it is highly likely that an etch-free region or an over-etched region is formed, thus forming a poor pattern rather than a precise pattern. Therefore, the uneven shape etching like the class '3' can form the desired fine pattern more accurately than the 3a figure. The surface characteristics suitable for forming a fine pattern will be described in detail below by various embodiments of the flexible metal-clad laminate of the present invention having different uneven shapes. That is, as shown in Fig. 1, a soft copper foil-coated laminate is formed by sequentially forming a copper seed layer 20 and a copper electrically conductive layer 30 on the polyimide film 10, and measuring the incident angle. The amount of light reflection at 5 and 70 degrees. Here, the surface roughness Rz of each of the plurality of examples and the plurality of comparative examples thereof was 0.5 μm or less. Table 1 shows the measurement results of the amount of light reflection according to the change in the uneven shape. Here, the "reflection amount" is a standard method for measuring brightness and brightness according to ASTM (American Society of Testing Materials), that is, experimental data values obtained in accordance with ASTM D245 7 and D523. Table 1 10 1328982 Reflectance (1) Reflectance (II) Actual Pattern Photo II/I Incidence Angle 5 Degrees Incident Angle 70 Degrees Example 1 110.0 175.9 Figure 4a Figure 1.6 Example 2 117.5 133.1 Figure 4a Figure 1.1 Comparative Example 1 46.8 14.4 Figure 4b Figure 0.308 Comparative Example 2 70.7 1.7 Figure 4c Figure 0.024 Comparative Example 3 61.7 1.9 Figure 4c Figure 0.030 See Table 1. First, it should be understood that in Examples 1 and 2, the amount of light reflected at an incident angle of 70 degrees is greater than the angle of incidence. 5 degrees, so it is closer to the uneven shape shown in Fig. 2c, and in the comparative examples 1 to 3, the light reflection amount of the incident angle 70 degrees is smaller than the incident angle of 5 degrees, and thus is closer to the 2a map. Uneven shape. In order to support the above description, the real photograph of Fig. 4a shows a fine pattern formed on the flexible metal-clad laminate having the uneven shape of Examples 1 and 2, in which the formed cross section is relatively regular and no photoresist remains. On the other hand, the real photographs of Figs. 4b to 4c show the fine patterns formed on the soft metal-clad laminate sheets having the uneven shapes of Comparative Examples 1 to 3, in which the formed regions are formed due to the generation of the etching-free regions. The section is irregular. Further, the amount of light reflection at an incident angle of 70 degrees is preferably 10 or more. This is because the incident angle of 70 degrees is sensitive to the roughness of the soft metal-clad laminate. If the amount of light reflection is less than 10, it is more likely to produce an etch-free area and a straight circuit. Further, in the results of the above various embodiments and comparative examples, it is shown that the light reflection amount at a large incident angle is preferably higher than a small incident angle, that is, a light reflection amount of 11 1328982 at a large incident angle to a small incident angle. The ratio of the amounts is preferably 1.0 or more so that the desired fine pattern can be formed without producing any etch-free regions. The invention has been described in detail herein. It is to be expressly understood, however, that the claims of the claims Various changes and modifications are made in the spirit and scope of the invention. Applicability in the Industry According to the present invention, in the production of a soft metal-clad laminate suitable for a fine pattern, a light having a surface roughness Rz of 0.5 μm or less and a large incident angle is prepared. The amount of reflection is preferably higher than the small incident angle, that is, the ratio of the amount of light reflected by the larger incident angle to the amount of light reflected by the small incident angle is 1.0 or more, so that the etching property can be improved in the process of forming the fine pattern. Further, the quality of the soft metal-clad laminate can be examined by the change in the amount of light reflection on the surface of the uneven shape.
