Description

本発明は、表面処理銅箔、特に高周波帯域で使用されるプリント配線板に好適な表面処理銅箔に関する。さらに本発明は、上記表面処理銅箔を用いた銅張積層板およびプリント配線板に関する。   The present invention relates to a surface-treated copper foil, particularly to a surface-treated copper foil suitable for a printed wiring board used in a high frequency band. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a copper-clad laminate and a printed wiring board using the surface-treated copper foil.

近年、20GHzを超えるような高周波対応機器が開発されてきている。しかし、周波数がGHz帯になるような高周波信号を導体回路に伝送した場合、電流が流れる表皮深さは2μm程度か、それ以下となり、電流は導体のごく表層しか流れない。そのため、導体の表面凹凸が大きい場合には、導体の伝送経路(すなわち表皮部分の伝送経路)が長くなり、伝送損失が増加する。したがって、上記高周波対応機器に用いる銅張積層板では、伝送損失の増加を抑制するため、銅箔の表面粗さを小さくすることが望まれている。   In recent years, high frequency compatible devices exceeding 20 GHz have been developed. However, when a high frequency signal whose frequency is in the GHz band is transmitted to the conductor circuit, the skin depth at which the current flows is about 2 μm or less, and the current flows only in the very surface layer of the conductor. Therefore, when the surface unevenness of the conductor is large, the transmission path of the conductor (that is, the transmission path of the skin portion) becomes long, and the transmission loss increases. Therefore, in the copper-clad laminate used for the said high frequency corresponding | compatible apparatus, in order to suppress the increase in a transmission loss, to make the surface roughness of copper foil small is desired.

また、通常、プリント配線板に使用される銅箔では、伝送特性に加えて、樹脂基材との高い接着性も求められる。一般に、樹脂基材と銅箔表面との間で接着力を高める手法としては、電気めっきやエッチング等により、その表面に粗化処理層(粗化粒子を形成させた層)を形成し、樹脂基材との物理的な接着効果(アンカー効果)を得ることで、接着力を高める手法が挙げられる。しかし、銅箔表面と、樹脂基材との接着性を効果的に高めるべく、銅箔表面に形成する粗化粒子の粒子サイズを大きくすると、上述の通り伝送損失が増加してしまう。   Moreover, in addition to transmission characteristics, in the copper foil normally used for a printed wiring board, high adhesiveness with a resin base material is also calculated | required. Generally, as a method for enhancing the adhesive strength between the resin base and the copper foil surface, a roughening treatment layer (layer in which roughening particles are formed) is formed on the surface by electroplating, etching or the like. By obtaining the physical adhesion effect (anchor effect) with the substrate, there is a method of enhancing adhesion. However, if the particle size of the roughening particles formed on the surface of the copper foil is increased to effectively improve the adhesion between the surface of the copper foil and the resin substrate, the transmission loss increases as described above.

このように、銅張積層板において、伝送損失の抑制と、銅箔と樹脂基材との密着性(接着性)の向上(耐久性の向上)とは、互いにトレードオフの関係にある。そのため、従来から、銅張積層板に用いられる銅箔では、伝送損失の抑制と樹脂基材との密着性の両立が検討されており、例えば、特許文献1では、粗化形状を所定の形状に制御する手法が提案されている。また、特許文献2では、銅箔と樹脂基材との密着性およびファインパターン性を両立させるため、粒径範囲を規定した一次突起物群と二次突起物群を形成する手法が提案されている。特許文献3では、銅箔と樹脂基材との密着性およびエッチング後の樹脂の透明性を両立させるため、粒径範囲毎に粒子密度を規定する手法が提案されている。特許文献4では、銅箔と樹脂基材との密着性および粗化粒子の脱落の抑制を両立させるため、粒径範囲毎に粒子密度を規定する手法が提案されている。   As described above, in the copper-clad laminate, the suppression of transmission loss and the improvement in adhesion (adhesion) between the copper foil and the resin substrate (improvement in durability) are in a trade-off relationship with each other. Therefore, conventionally, in copper foil used for a copper clad laminate, coexistence of suppression of a transmission loss and adhesiveness with a resin base material is examined, for example, in patent document 1, roughening shape is made into a predetermined shape. A control method has been proposed. Moreover, in patent document 2, in order to make the adhesiveness and fine pattern property of copper foil and a resin base material make compatible, the method of forming the primary projection group and the secondary projection group which defined the particle size range is proposed. There is. In patent document 3, in order to make the adhesiveness of copper foil and a resin base material, and the transparency of resin after etching make compatible, the method of defining particle density for every particle size range is proposed. In patent document 4, in order to make suppression of the adhesiveness of copper foil and a resin base material, and suppression of drop-off | omission of roughening particle | grains, the method of prescribing | regulating a particle density for every particle size range is proposed.

ところで、高周波対応のプリント配線板は、最近、さらに高い信頼性が要求される分野へも展開されてきている。例えば、車載用プリント配線基板等の移動体通信機器用プリント配線基板では、高温環境等の過酷な環境下にも耐え得る高度な信頼性が要求される。このような高度な信頼性の要求に応えるためには、銅箔と樹脂基材との密着性をさらに高める必要があり、例えば、150℃で1000時間の過酷試験にも耐え得る密着性が必要である。そのため、上記のような従来の手法では、近年求められている過酷な高温環境下での密着性(耐熱密着性)を満足できなくなっている。   By the way, recently, printed wiring boards compatible with high frequency have been developed in fields requiring even higher reliability. For example, printed wiring boards for mobile communication devices such as printed wiring boards for vehicles require high reliability that can withstand severe environments such as high temperature environments. In order to meet such high reliability requirements, it is necessary to further improve the adhesion between the copper foil and the resin substrate, for example, the adhesion that can withstand a severe test at 150 ° C. for 1000 hours is required. It is. Therefore, in the conventional method as described above, the adhesion (heat-resistant adhesion) under the severe high-temperature environment required in recent years can not be satisfied.

また、プリント配線板に使用される銅箔では、樹脂基材との接着力を高めるために、上記粗化処理層の形成に加え、銅箔表面をシランカップリング剤で処理することで、樹脂基材に対して化学的な接着性を得る手法が用いられる。しかし、シランカップリング剤と樹脂基材との間で、化学的接着性を高めるためには、樹脂基材が、ある程度極性の大きな置換基を有していることが必要である。しかし、誘電損失を抑えるべく、樹脂基材として、極性の大きな置換基の量を減少させた低誘電性基材を用いる場合には、シランカップリング剤で銅箔表面を処理しても化学的接着性を得難く、銅箔と樹脂基材との十分な接着性が担保し難くなる。   In addition, in the case of copper foil used for printed wiring boards, in order to increase the adhesion to the resin substrate, in addition to the formation of the roughened layer, the surface of the copper foil is treated with a silane coupling agent to obtain a resin. A technique is used to obtain chemical adhesion to the substrate. However, in order to enhance the chemical adhesion between the silane coupling agent and the resin base, it is necessary that the resin base has a substituent having a polarity that is somewhat large. However, in the case of using a low dielectric base material in which the amount of highly polar substituent is reduced as a resin base in order to suppress dielectric loss, it is possible to chemically treat the copper foil surface with a silane coupling agent. It is difficult to obtain adhesion, and it becomes difficult to secure sufficient adhesion between the copper foil and the resin substrate.

And a roughened surface having a fine uneven surface shape on which the particle shape and the like are reflected. Such a surface-treated film surface (hereinafter referred to as a roughened surface) may be, for example, the surface of a roughened layer formed on a copper foil substrate, or may be formed directly on this roughened layer. Indirectly formed on the surface of the silane coupling agent layer or on the roughened layer via an intermediate layer such as a Ni-containing underlayer, a Zn-containing heat-resistant layer, and an anti-corrosion layer It may be the surface of the silane coupling agent layer. Moreover, when the surface-treated copper foil of the present invention is used, for example, in a conductor circuit of a printed wiring board, the above-mentioned roughened surface becomes a surface (adhesion surface) for laminating a resin base material. .

さらに、本発明では、粗化面を真上から(該表面に対して垂直の方向から)走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM)により観察することにより、粗化面における粗化粒子の形成状態を分析する。なお、本発明において、粗化粒子とは、例えば、後述する粗化処理により形成される、粒状の電析物を指すものとする。さらに粗化粒子の大きさについては、SEMにより観察した分析領域にて、粗化粒子を平面視して(例えば図1(b)に示されるようにX−Y平面で見て)、この粗化粒子に対して外接する最小面積の長方形Pを描いたときの、長方形Pの長辺t1および短辺t2を、粗化粒子の長手方向寸法t1および短手方向寸法t2とそれぞれ定義する。なお、平面視した粗化粒子に対して外接する最小面積の長方形Pが、正方形であった場合には、長手方向寸法t1および短手方向寸法t2は同じ長さである。   Furthermore, in the present invention, the formation state of roughened particles on the roughened surface is analyzed by observing the roughened surface from directly above (from the direction perpendicular to the surface) by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). . In the present invention, roughened particles refer to, for example, particulate electrodeposits formed by roughening treatment described later. Further, with regard to the size of the roughened particles, when the roughened particles are viewed in plan (in the XY plane, for example, as shown in FIG. 1B) in the analysis region observed by SEM, The long side t1 and the short side t2 of the rectangle P when the rectangle P having the smallest area circumscribed to the oxide particle is drawn are defined as the longitudinal dimension t1 and the lateral dimension t2 of the roughened particle, respectively. In addition, when the rectangle P of the minimum area circumscribed to the roughening particle planarly viewed is a square, the longitudinal dimension t1 and the transverse dimension t2 have the same length.

ここで、図1(b)は、本発明の表面処理銅箔の粗化面を、真上から走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM)により観察したSEM画像の一例である。また、比較のために、図1(b)に示す本発明の表面処理銅箔と同様の方法で観察した、2種類の従来の表面処理銅箔の粗化面のSEM画像を、それぞれ図1(a)および図1(c)に示す。   Here, FIG. 1 (b) is an example of a SEM image obtained by observing the roughened surface of the surface-treated copper foil of the present invention from directly above with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). In addition, for comparison, SEM images of the roughened surfaces of two types of conventional surface-treated copper foils observed by the same method as the surface-treated copper foil of the present invention shown in FIG. It is shown in (a) and FIG. 1 (c).

図1(a)に示される従来の表面処理銅箔は、粗化面における粗化粒子が、平面視で円形であり、かつ、微細で均一な粒径を有している。特許文献1〜4に記載の表面処理銅箔はこの例に相当し、このような表面処理銅箔は、粗化面の凹凸が小さいため、高周波特性は非常に優れているが、密着性、特に加熱処理後の密着性(耐熱密着性)が十分に得られない。   In the conventional surface-treated copper foil shown in FIG. 1A, the roughened particles on the roughened surface are circular in plan view, and have a fine and uniform particle size. The surface-treated copper foils described in Patent Documents 1 to 4 correspond to this example, and such surface-treated copper foils have very high frequency characteristics because the irregularities on the roughened surface are small, but the adhesion, In particular, adhesion after heat treatment (heat-resistant adhesion) can not be sufficiently obtained.

一方、図1(c)に示される従来の表面処理銅箔は、粗化面における粗化粒子が、平面視で円形であり、かつ、粗大で均一な粒径を有している。このような表面処理銅箔は、粗化面の凹凸が大きいため、密着性(常態密着性および耐熱密着性)は優れるが、高周波特性が十分に得られない。   On the other hand, in the conventional surface-treated copper foil shown in FIG. 1 (c), the roughened particles on the roughened surface are circular in plan view, and have a coarse and uniform particle diameter. Such surface-treated copper foils are excellent in adhesion (normal adhesion and heat-resistant adhesion) due to large irregularities on the roughened surface, but high frequency characteristics can not be sufficiently obtained.

本発明者は、上記従来の表面処理銅箔における問題点として、高周波特性と密着性のトレードオフの関係に着目し鋭意研究を進めた結果、粗化面における粗化粒子の大きさおよび形状をあえて不均一に制御することにより、上記相反する特性である高周波特性と密着性(常態密着性および耐熱密着性)を両立できることを見出した。   The inventor focused on the relationship between high-frequency characteristics and adhesion as a problem in the conventional surface-treated copper foil and as a result of intensive research, it has been found that the size and shape of the roughened particles on the roughened surface It has been found that the high frequency characteristics and the adhesion (normal adhesion and heat resistant adhesion), which are the contradictory characteristics described above, can be compatible by intentionally controlling unevenly.

すなわち、本発明の表面処理銅箔は、例えば図1(b)に示されるように、粗化面における粗化粒子の大きさおよび形状を不均一とし、特に、微細な粗化粒子(後述するA粒子)と、所定の大きさを有する粗化粒子(後述するB粒子)とを一定の割合で混在させると共に、所定の大きさを有する粗化粒子のうち一定の割合が細長形状の粗化粒子(後述するb1粒子)となるように制御する。このような本発明の表面処理銅箔は、粗化面における粗化粒子の大きさおよび形状が所定の関係に制御されているため、良好な高周波特性と適度な密着性(常態密着性および耐熱密着性)とを両立できる。   That is, in the surface-treated copper foil of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), for example, the size and shape of the roughening particles on the roughening surface are made nonuniform, and in particular, fine roughening particles (described later) A particle) and roughened particles (B particles to be described later) having a predetermined size are mixed at a constant rate, and a constant proportion of roughened particles having a predetermined size are roughened to have an elongated shape The particle is controlled to be particles (b1 particles described later). Such a surface-treated copper foil of the present invention has good high frequency characteristics and appropriate adhesion (normal adhesion and heat resistance, since the size and shape of the roughened particles on the roughened surface are controlled to a predetermined relationship. Adhesion).

本発明の表面処理銅箔は、粗化面において、微細な粗化粒子と、所定の大きさを有する粗化粒子とを一定の割合で混在させると共に、所定の大きさを有する粗化粒子のうち一定の割合が細長形状の粗化粒子になるように制御されることで、高周波特性と密着性を両立できる。このような作用効果が得られるメカニズムは必ずしも明らかではないが、微細な粗化粒子に対し、所定の大きさを有する粗化粒子を一定割合加えることで、微細粒子のみの場合(図1(a)の場合)に比べて密着性を向上できる。さらに、所定の大きさを有する粗化粒子の一部を細長形状とすることで、粒子サイズを大きくしたことによる誘電損失の上昇を抑制し、微細粒子のみの場合に近い、優れた高周波特性が維持されるものと考えられる。   In the surface-treated copper foil of the present invention, in the roughened surface, fine roughened particles and roughened particles having a predetermined size are mixed at a constant ratio, and the roughened particles having a predetermined size are provided. The high frequency characteristics and the adhesiveness can be compatible by controlling such that a certain proportion of the particles become rough particles having an elongated shape. Although the mechanism by which such an effect is obtained is not always clear, in the case of only fine particles by adding a certain ratio of roughened particles having a predetermined size to fine roughened particles (FIG. 1 (a The adhesion can be improved compared to the case of. Furthermore, by forming a part of the roughened particles having a predetermined size into an elongated shape, an increase in dielectric loss due to the increase in particle size is suppressed, and excellent high frequency characteristics close to those of only fine particles are obtained. It is considered to be maintained.

図2は、所定の大きさを有する細長形状の粗化粒子を、Z軸方向から平面視した場合の概略図(X−Y平面図)である。また、図3は、図2に示される細長形状の粗化粒子の長手方向寸法t1と同じ長さの直径(t1、t2)を有する球形状の粗化粒子を、Z軸方向から平面視した場合の概略図(X−Y平面図)である。また、図2、3の各(b)および(c)は、それぞれの破線矢印方向から電流を流した場合に、粗化粒子の表面における伝送経路を、模式的に実線で示した例である。   FIG. 2 is a schematic view (X-Y plan view) of an elongated roughened particle having a predetermined size in plan view from the Z-axis direction. FIG. 3 is a plan view of spherical rough particles having a diameter (t1, t2) having the same length as the longitudinal dimension t1 of the elongated rough particles shown in FIG. It is the schematic (XY plan view) of a case. In addition, each of (b) and (c) in FIGS. 2 and 3 is an example schematically showing the transmission path on the surface of the roughening particle when a current flows from the direction of the broken line arrow. .

図2(b)および図3(b)の比較で分かるように、仮にX−Y平面をY軸に沿って電流が流れた場合には、細長形状の粗化粒子は、同じ長手方向寸法t1を有する球状粒子に比べて、粗化粒子の表面における伝送経路が短くなる。また、図2(c)および図3(c)の比較で分かるように、仮にX−Y平面をX軸に沿って電流が流れた場合には、細長形状の粗化粒子は、同じ長手方向寸法t1を有する球状粒子に比べて、電流が粗化粒子の表面を流れる確率が低くなる。   As can be seen from the comparison of FIG. 2 (b) and FIG. 3 (b), if current flows along the X-Y plane along the Y axis, the elongated roughened particles have the same longitudinal dimension t1. The transmission path at the surface of the roughening particles is shorter than that of spherical particles having. Also, as can be seen by comparison of FIGS. 2C and 3C, if current flows along the X-axis along the X-Y plane, the elongated roughened particles have the same longitudinal direction. The probability of the current flowing on the surface of the roughening particle is lower than that of the spherical particle having the dimension t1.

上記のように、細長形状の粗化粒子はその長手方向が、電流に対しどの方向に配向していたとしても、同じ長手方向寸法t1を有する球形状の粗化粒子に比べて、粗化粒子の表面における伝送経路が短くなるか、そもそも電流が粗化粒子の表面を流れる頻度が少ないため、伝送損失が小さくなると考えられる。   As described above, the elongated roughened particles are roughened compared to the spherical roughened particles having the same longitudinal dimension t1 no matter which direction the longitudinal direction is oriented with respect to the current. It is considered that the transmission loss becomes small because the transmission path on the surface of the above becomes short or the frequency of the current flowing on the surface of the roughening particle is small in the first place.

また、密着性の観点では、長手方向寸法t1が所定の大きさ以上の粗化粒子が一定量含まれていれば、その形状が細長形状であっても、十分な密着性が得られることがわかった。   Further, from the viewpoint of adhesion, sufficient adhesion can be obtained even if the shape is a slender shape, as long as a certain amount of roughened particles having a longitudinal dimension t1 of a predetermined size or more is included. all right.

これらの知見に基づき、本発明者は、表面処理銅箔の粗化面において、微細な粗化粒子と、所定の大きさを有する粗化粒子とを一定の割合で混在させると共に、所定の大きさを有する粗化粒子の一部を細長形状の粗化粒子とすることで、高周波特性の悪化を抑え、密着性の向上を図ることに成功し、本発明を完成するに至った。   Based on these findings, the inventor of the present invention mixes fine roughened particles and roughened particles having a predetermined size at a predetermined ratio on the roughened surface of the surface-treated copper foil and By making a part of the roughening particles having a thin shape into roughening particles having an elongated shape, the deterioration of the high frequency characteristics is suppressed and the adhesion is successfully improved, and the present invention is completed.

本発明では、表面処理銅箔の粗化面を走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM)により観察することで、粗化面における粗化粒子の形成状態を確認する。なお、本発明では、表面処理皮膜の表面をSEM観察した分析領域にて、長手方向寸法t1が0.1μm以上である粗化粒子をカウント対象として、その個数をカウントする。このように規定するのは、長手方向寸法t1が0.1μm未満である微細な粒子は、本発明の求める高周波特性と密着性との両立が可能な範囲において、ほとんど影響を及ぼさないためである。
以下、本発明の表面処理銅箔の粗化面について、粗化粒子の大きさおよび形状、並びに分析領域における粒子形状毎の粗化粒子の個数比率等について詳しく説明する。
In this invention, the formation state of the roughening particle | grains in a roughening surface is confirmed by observing the roughening surface of surface-treated copper foil with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). In the present invention, the number of roughened particles having a longitudinal dimension t1 of 0.1 μm or more is counted in an analysis area obtained by SEM observation of the surface of the surface treated film. The reason for this definition is that fine particles having a longitudinal dimension t1 of less than 0.1 μm have little influence in the range in which the high frequency characteristics and the adhesiveness required by the present invention can be compatible. .
Hereinafter, the roughened surface of the surface-treated copper foil of the present invention will be described in detail in terms of the size and shape of the roughened particles, and the number ratio of the roughened particles for each particle shape in the analysis region.

粗化面は、微細な粗化粒子と、所定の大きさを有する粗化粒子とで、主に構成されている。ここで、微細な粗化粒子としては、長手方向寸法t1が1.0μm未満である粗化粒子(以下、A粒子という)であり、所定の大きさを有する粗化粒子としては、長手方向寸法t1が1.0〜3.0μmである粗化粒子(以下、B粒子という)である。すなわち粗化面は、上記A粒子およびB粒子により主に構成されており、上記分析領域にて、長手方向寸法t1が0.1μm以上である粗化粒子の個数をカウントするとき、長手方向寸法t1が3.0μm以下である粗化粒子(A粒子およびB粒子の合計)の個数比率が99.0%以上であり、好ましくは、99.5%以上である。上記範囲とすることで、高周波特性を良好に制御できる。   The roughened surface is mainly composed of fine roughened particles and roughened particles having a predetermined size. Here, fine roughened particles are roughened particles (hereinafter referred to as A particles) having a longitudinal dimension t1 of less than 1.0 μm, and as roughened particles having a predetermined size, longitudinal dimensions It is the roughening particle | grains (henceforth B particle | grains) whose t1 is 1.0-3.0 micrometers. That is, the roughened surface is mainly composed of the A particles and B particles, and when counting the number of roughened particles having a longitudinal dimension t1 of 0.1 μm or more in the analysis region, the longitudinal dimension The number ratio of roughened particles (total of A particles and B particles) having t1 of 3.0 μm or less is 99.0% or more, preferably 99.5% or more. By setting it as the said range, a high frequency characteristic can be controlled favorably.

また、粗化面は、A粒子とB粒子とが一定の割合で混在していることを特徴とする。すなわち、上記長手方向寸法t1が3.0μm以下である粗化粒子(A粒子およびB粒子の合計)に占める、B粒子の個数比率は、2.0〜20.0%であり、好ましくは3.5〜15.0%である。上記B粒子の個数比率が、2.0%未満であると密着性の向上効果が十分に得られず、20.0%超であると伝送損失の増大の影響が大きくなる。また、より具体的には、B粒子の個数は、上記分析領域300μmあたり、20〜100個であることが好ましく、より好ましくは40〜80個である。The roughened surface is characterized in that A particles and B particles are mixed at a constant ratio. That is, the number ratio of B particles in the roughened particles (total of A particles and B particles) having the longitudinal dimension t1 of 3.0 μm or less is 2.0 to 20.0%, preferably 3 0.5 to 15.0%. If the number ratio of B particles is less than 2.0%, the effect of improving adhesion can not be sufficiently obtained, and if it is more than 20.0%, the influence of the increase in transmission loss becomes large. More specifically, the number of B particles is preferably 20 to 100, and more preferably 40 to 80 per 300 μm 2 of the analysis area.

さらに、粗化面は、B粒子の一部を細長形状の粗化粒子とする。このような細長形状の粗化粒子としては、短手方向寸法t2に対する長手方向寸法t1の比(t1/t2)が2以上である粗化粒子(以下、b1粒子という)である。すなわち、B粒子に占める、b1粒子の個数比率は20%以上であり、好ましくは30%以上である。B粒子に占めるb1粒子の個数比率が、20%以上であると密着性を確保しつつ、伝送損失への悪影響を最小限に抑制できる。一方、20%未満になると、B粒子に占める、球状粒子(図3のような粒子)の個数比率が増すため、伝送損失が悪化する。なお、B粒子に占める、b1粒子の個数比率の上限は、例えば、80%以下である。また、より具体的には、b1粒子の個数は、上記分析領域300μmあたり、8個以上であることが好ましい。なお、b1粒子の短手方向寸法t2に対する長手方向寸法t1の比(t1/t2)の上限は、例えば4以下である。Furthermore, the roughened surface makes a part of the B particles the elongated roughened particles. As such coarse-shaped roughened particles, roughened particles (hereinafter referred to as b1 particles) having a ratio (t1 / t2) of longitudinal dimension t1 to lateral dimension t2 of 2 or more are mentioned. That is, the number ratio of b1 particles in B particles is 20% or more, preferably 30% or more. When the number ratio of b1 particles to B particles is 20% or more, it is possible to minimize the adverse effect on the transmission loss while securing the adhesiveness. On the other hand, if it is less than 20%, the number ratio of spherical particles (particles as shown in FIG. 3) to the B particles increases, so that the transmission loss is deteriorated. In addition, the upper limit of the number ratio of b1 particle | grains to B particle | grains is 80% or less, for example. More specifically, the number of b1 particles is preferably 8 or more per 300 μm 2 of the analysis area. The upper limit of the ratio (t1 / t2) of the longitudinal dimension t1 to the lateral dimension t2 of the b1 particle is, for example, 4 or less.

また、上述のように粗化面は、微細な粗化粒子であるA粒子と、所定の大きさを有する粗化粒子であるB粒子とで主に構成される。A粒子の個数比率は、B粒子の個数比率により相対的に決まるが、A粒子が多い場合には、伝送損失の低減は見込めるものの、十分な密着性を確保することは出来ない。したがって、上述のように、十分な密着性を得る観点から、粗化面に、A粒子とB粒子とを一定の割合で混在させる必要がある。なお、より具体的には、A粒子の個数は、上記分析領域300μmあたり、300〜1200個であることが好ましい。Further, as described above, the roughened surface is mainly composed of A particles which are fine roughened particles and B particles which are roughened particles having a predetermined size. Although the number ratio of A particles is relatively determined by the number ratio of B particles, although the reduction of transmission loss can be expected when there are many A particles, sufficient adhesiveness can not be secured. Therefore, as described above, from the viewpoint of obtaining sufficient adhesion, it is necessary to mix A particles and B particles in a certain ratio on the roughened surface. More specifically, the number of A particles is preferably 300 to 1200 per 300 μm 2 of the analysis area.

さらに、粗化面は、粗大な粗化粒子が一定割合以下となるように制御されている。このような粗大な粗化粒子としては、長手方向寸法t1が3.0μm超の粗化粒子(以下、C粒子という)である。すなわち、粗化面は、C粒子が一定割合以下となるように制御しており、カウント対象の粗化粒子に占める、C粒子の個数比率は、1%以下であり、好ましくは、0.5%以下である。C粒子は、密着性の向上に寄与するが、1.0%超であると、伝送損失の増大を招く。なお、より具体的には、C粒子の個数は、上記分析領域300μmあたり、0〜3個であることが好ましい。Furthermore, the roughening surface is controlled such that coarse roughening particles are at a constant rate or less. As such coarse roughening particles, roughening particles having a longitudinal dimension t1 of more than 3.0 μm (hereinafter referred to as C particles) are used. That is, the roughened surface is controlled such that C particles are at a constant ratio or less, and the number ratio of C particles in the roughened particles to be counted is 1% or less, preferably 0.5. % Or less. C particles contribute to the improvement of adhesion, but if they exceed 1.0%, they cause an increase in transmission loss. More specifically, the number of C particles is preferably 0 to 3 per 300 μm 2 of the analysis area.

本発明の表面処理銅箔は、上記のような特徴を持つ粗化面を有することで、互いにトレードオフの関係である伝送損失の抑制と、樹脂基材との密着性(常態密着性及び耐熱密着性)の向上とを両立できる。   The surface-treated copper foil of the present invention has a roughened surface having the characteristics as described above, thereby suppressing transmission loss, which is a trade-off relationship with one another, and adhesion with a resin substrate (normal adhesion and heat resistance Compatibility with the improvement of adhesion).

また、本発明の表面処理銅箔の粗化面は、十点平均粗さRzjisの値が0.5〜2.0μmであることが好ましい。上記範囲とすることにより、伝送損失の抑制がより確実となる。   Moreover, as for the roughening surface of the surface-treated copper foil of this invention, it is preferable that the values of ten-point average roughness Rzjis are 0.5-2.0 micrometers. By setting the above-mentioned range, suppression of the transmission loss becomes more reliable.

また、本発明の表面処理銅箔は、これをプリント配線板の導体回路に用いることにより、GHz帯の高周波信号を伝送した際の伝送損失を高度に抑制でき、かつ、高温下においても表面処理銅箔と樹脂基材(樹脂層)との密着性を良好に維持でき、過酷条件における耐久性にも優れたプリント配線板を得ることができる。   Further, by using the surface-treated copper foil of the present invention as a conductor circuit of a printed wiring board, it is possible to highly suppress the transmission loss when transmitting a high frequency signal in the GHz band, and surface treatment even under high temperature. The adhesion between the copper foil and the resin substrate (resin layer) can be favorably maintained, and a printed wiring board excellent in durability under severe conditions can be obtained.

次に、本発明の表面処理銅箔の好ましい製造方法について、その一例を説明する。本発明では、銅箔基体の表面に、粗化粒子を形成する粗化処理を行うことが好ましい。   Next, an example is demonstrated about the preferable manufacturing method of the surface-treated copper foil of this invention. In the present invention, it is preferable to subject the surface of the copper foil substrate to a roughening treatment for forming roughened particles.

銅箔基体は、公知のものを用いることができ、例えば電解銅箔や圧延銅箔を用いることができる。   A well-known thing can be used for a copper foil base | substrate, for example, electrolytic copper foil and a rolled copper foil can be used.

粗化処理は、例えば下記に示すような粗化めっき処理(1)と固定めっき処理(2)を組み合せて行うことが好ましい。   The roughening treatment is preferably performed by combining, for example, roughening plating treatment (1) and fixed plating treatment (2) as shown below.

・粗化めっき処理(1)
粗化めっき処理(1)は、銅箔基体の少なくとも一方の面上に粗化粒子を形成する処理である。具体的には硫酸銅浴で高電流密度のめっき処理を行う。このような硫酸銅浴(粗化めっき液基本浴)には、粗化粒子の脱落、即ち「粉落ち」の防止を目的としたモリブデン(Mo)、砒素(As)、アンチモン(Sb)、ビスマス(Bi)、セレン(Se)、テルル(Te)、タングステン(W)等の従来から知られている添加剤の添加が可能であり、特にモリブデン(Mo)を添加することが好ましい。本発明者は、鋭意研究を行った結果、下記の要因が表面処理銅箔の表面性状に影響を及ぼすことを見出し、適切にそれらの条件を設定することで、本発明の効果である高周波特性および密着性(常態密着性および耐熱密着性)の要求特性を高い水準で満足させることができることを発見した。
· Roughening plating treatment (1)
The roughening plating process (1) is a process for forming roughening particles on at least one surface of a copper foil substrate. Specifically, high current density plating is performed in a copper sulfate bath. In such a copper sulfate bath (rough plating plating solution basic bath), molybdenum (Mo), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), bismuth for the purpose of preventing the falling off of roughened particles, that is, “powdering off” It is possible to add conventionally known additives such as (Bi), selenium (Se), tellurium (Te) and tungsten (W), and it is particularly preferable to add molybdenum (Mo). As a result of intensive researches, the present inventor has found that the following factors affect the surface properties of surface-treated copper foils, and appropriately setting those conditions, the high frequency characteristics that are the effects of the present invention It has been found that the required properties of adhesion and adhesion (normal adhesion and heat resistant adhesion) can be satisfied at a high level.

まず、粗化めっき処理(1)の粗化めっき浴中に添加される添加剤、例えばモリブデン(Mo)を例に挙げて説明する。モリブデン(Mo)濃度は、100mg/L未満とすると、粗化粒子を微細に形成することが難しくなり、B粒子およびC粒子の個数比率が増加するため、高周波特性が悪化する傾向がある。また、モリブデン(Mo)濃度は、400mg/Lを超えると、粗化粒子が過度に微細化され易くなり、B粒子の個数比率が減少するため、耐熱密着性が悪化する傾向がある。したがって、モリブデン(Mo)濃度は、100〜400mg/Lとすることが好ましい。   First, an additive added to the roughening plating bath of roughening plating treatment (1), for example, molybdenum (Mo) will be described as an example. When the concentration of molybdenum (Mo) is less than 100 mg / L, it becomes difficult to finely form roughened particles, and the number ratio of B particles and C particles increases, so the high frequency characteristics tend to deteriorate. In addition, when the concentration of molybdenum (Mo) exceeds 400 mg / L, the roughened particles tend to be excessively miniaturized and the number ratio of B particles decreases, so the heat-resistant adhesion tends to be deteriorated. Therefore, the molybdenum (Mo) concentration is preferably 100 to 400 mg / L.

次に、粗化めっき処理(1)の電解条件等を説明する。
極間流速は、0.05m/s未満とすると、粗化粒子を微細に形成することが難しくなり、B粒子およびC粒子の個数比率が増加するため、高周波特性が悪化する傾向がある。また、極間流速は、0.14m/sを超えると、粗化粒子が過度に微細化され易くなり、B粒子の個数比率が減少するため、耐熱密着性が悪化する傾向がある。したがって、極間流速は、0.05〜0.14m/sとすることが好ましい。
Next, the electrolytic conditions and the like of the roughening plating process (1) will be described.
When the flow velocity between the electrodes is less than 0.05 m / s, it becomes difficult to finely form roughened particles, and the number ratio of B particles and C particles increases, so the high frequency characteristics tend to be deteriorated. In addition, when the flow velocity between the electrodes exceeds 0.14 m / s, the roughened particles tend to be excessively miniaturized and the number ratio of B particles decreases, so the heat resistant adhesion tends to be deteriorated. Therefore, it is preferable to set the interelectrode flow velocity to 0.05 to 0.14 m / s.

電流密度(A/dm)と処理時間(秒)の積(=S)は、100{(A/dm)・秒}未満とすると、本発明の求める十分な常態密着性を得ることが難しくなる。また、上記積Sは、300{(A/dm)・秒}を超えると、粗化粒子が過度に成長し、本発明の求める良好な高周波特性を得ることが難しくなる。したがって、上記積Sは、100〜300{(A/dm)・秒}とすることが好ましい。If the product (= S) of the current density (A / dm 2 ) and the processing time (seconds) is less than 100 {(A / dm 2 ) · seconds}, sufficient normal adhesion determined by the present invention can be obtained. It becomes difficult. In addition, when the product S exceeds 300 ((A / dm 2 ) · seconds), the roughened particles grow excessively, and it becomes difficult to obtain the good high frequency characteristics required by the present invention. Therefore, the product S is preferably 100 to 300 {(A / dm 2 ) · second}.

また、モリブデン(Mo)濃度に対する電流密度と処理時間の積Sの比(=S/Mo濃度)は、0.5〔{(A/dm)・秒}/(mg/L)〕未満とすると、粗化粒子が過度に微細化され易くなり、B粒子の個数比率が減少するため、耐熱密着性が悪化する傾向がある。また、S/Mo濃度は、2.5〔{(A/dm)・秒}/(mg/L)〕を超えると、粗化粒子を微細に形成することが難しくなり、B粒子およびC粒子の個数比率が増加するため、高周波特性が悪化する傾向がある。したがってS/Mo濃度は、0.5〜2.5〔{(A/dm)・秒}/(mg/L)〕とすることが好ましい。Also, the ratio of the product S of current density to processing time to molybdenum (Mo) concentration (= S / Mo concentration) is less than 0.5 [{(A / dm 2 ) · second} / (mg / L)] Then, the roughened particles are likely to be excessively miniaturized, and the number ratio of B particles decreases, so the heat-resistant adhesion tends to be deteriorated. Moreover, when the S / Mo concentration exceeds 2.5 [{(A / dm 2 ) · sec} / (mg / L)], it becomes difficult to finely form roughened particles, and B particles and C The high frequency characteristics tend to deteriorate because the number ratio of particles increases. Therefore, the S / Mo concentration is preferably 0.5 to 2.5 [{(A / dm 2 ) · second} / (mg / L)].

・固定めっき処理(2)
固定めっき処理(2)は、上記粗化めっき処理(1)で表面処理をした銅箔基体に平滑なかぶせめっきを行う処理である。この処理は、粗化粒子の脱落を防止するため、すなわち粗化粒子を固定化するために行う。具体的には硫酸銅浴でめっき処理を行う。本発明者は、鋭意研究を行った結果、通常固定めっきに意図的に加えることは無い塩素を添加することに加えて、下記の要因が表面処理銅箔の表面性状に影響を及ぼすことを見出し、適切にそれらの条件を設定することで、本発明の効果である高周波特性および密着性(常態密着性および耐熱密着性)の要求特性を高い水準で満足させることができることを発見した。
Fixed plating process (2)
The fixed plating process (2) is a process for performing smooth covering plating on the copper foil substrate surface-treated by the roughening plating process (1). This treatment is performed to prevent the detachment of the roughening particles, that is, to immobilize the roughening particles. Specifically, plating is performed in a copper sulfate bath. As a result of intensive studies, the inventor found that the following factors affect the surface properties of surface-treated copper foils in addition to the addition of chlorine which is not intentionally added to fixed plating. By appropriately setting these conditions, it has been found that the required characteristics of high frequency characteristics and adhesion (normal adhesion and heat resistant adhesion), which are the effects of the present invention, can be satisfied at a high level.

まず、固定めっき処理(2)の固定めっき浴中に添加される塩素濃度について説明する。塩素(Cl)濃度は、50mg/L未満とすると、粗化粒子が球形に成長し易くなり、b1粒子の個数比率が減少するため、高周波特性が悪化する傾向がある。また、塩素(Cl)濃度は200mg/Lを超えると、想定外の電析異常を招く可能性が高くなる。したがって、塩素(Cl)濃度は、50〜200mg/Lとすることが好ましい。   First, the concentration of chlorine added to the fixed plating bath of the fixed plating process (2) will be described. When the chlorine (Cl) concentration is less than 50 mg / L, roughened particles tend to grow spherically, and the number ratio of b1 particles decreases, so the high frequency characteristics tend to deteriorate. In addition, when the chlorine (Cl) concentration exceeds 200 mg / L, the possibility of causing unexpected electrodeposition abnormality becomes high. Therefore, the chlorine (Cl) concentration is preferably 50 to 200 mg / L.

次に、固定めっき処理(2)の電解条件等を説明する。
極間流速は、0.15m/s未満とすると、正常な固定めっきを施すことが難しくなり、粉落ちが発生し易くなる。また、極間流速は、0.40m/sを超えると、粗化粒子が球形に成長し易くなり、b1粒子の個数比率が減少するため、高周波特性が悪化する傾向がある。したがって、極間流速は、0.15〜0.40m/sとすることが好ましい。
Next, the electrolytic conditions and the like of the fixed plating process (2) will be described.
If the flow velocity between the electrodes is less than 0.15 m / s, it will be difficult to apply normal fixed plating, and powder fallout will easily occur. Further, when the flow velocity between the electrodes exceeds 0.40 m / s, the roughened particles easily grow in a spherical shape and the number ratio of b1 particles decreases, so the high frequency characteristics tend to be deteriorated. Therefore, it is preferable to set the interelectrode flow velocity to 0.15 to 0.40 m / s.

特に、電流密度と処理時間の積(=K)は、30{(A/dm)・秒}未満とすると、十分な固定めっきを施すことが難しくなる。また、上記積Kは、100{(A/dm)・秒}を超えると、粗化粒子が過度に成長するため、本発明の求める良好な高周波特性を得ることが難しくなる。したがって、上記積Kは、30〜100{(A/dm)・秒}とすることが好ましい。In particular, when the product of the current density and the processing time (= K) is less than 30 {(A / dm 2 ) · sec}, it becomes difficult to apply sufficient fixed plating. In addition, when the product K exceeds 100 {(A / dm 2 ) · second}, the roughened particles grow excessively, which makes it difficult to obtain the high frequency characteristics required by the present invention. Therefore, the product K is preferably 30 to 100 {(A / dm 2 ) · second}.

また、塩素(Cl)濃度に対する電流密度と処理時間の積Kの比(=K/Cl濃度)は、0.2〔{(A/dm)・秒}/(mg/L)〕未満とすると、想定外の電析異常を招く可能性が高くなる。また、K/Cl濃度は、2.0〔{(A/dm)・秒}/(mg/L)〕を超えると、粗化粒子が球形に成長し易くなり、b1粒子の個数比率が減少するため、高周波特性が悪化する傾向がある。したがって、塩素(Cl)濃度に対する電流密度と処理時間の積Kの比(=K/Cl濃度)は、0.2〜2.0とすることが好ましい。Also, the ratio of the product K of current density to treatment time to chlorine (Cl) concentration (= K / Cl concentration) is less than 0.2 [{(A / dm 2 ) · sec} / (mg / L)] Then, the possibility of causing unexpected electrodeposition abnormalities increases. In addition, when the K / Cl concentration exceeds 2.0 [{(A / dm 2 ) · sec} / (mg / L)], roughened particles tend to grow spherically, and the number ratio of b1 particles is Because of the decrease, the high frequency characteristics tend to deteriorate. Therefore, the ratio of the product K of the current density to the chlorine (Cl) concentration and the treatment time (= K / Cl concentration) is preferably 0.2 to 2.0.

さらに、粗化めっき処理(1)の電流密度と処理時間の積Sに対する固定めっき処理(2)の電流密度と処理時間の積Kの比率((K/S)×100(%))は、25%未満とすると、十分な固定めっきを施すことが難しくなり、粉落ちが発生し易くなる。上記比率[(K/S)×100]は、50%を超えると、粗化粒子が過度に成長し易くなり、本発明の求める良好な高周波特性を得ることが難しくなる。したがって、上記比率[(K/S)×100]は、25〜50%とすることが好ましい。   Furthermore, the ratio ((K / S) × 100 (%)) of the product K of the current density of the fixed plating process (2) to the product S of the current density of the roughening plating process (1) and the processing time is If it is less than 25%, it will be difficult to apply sufficient fixed plating, and powder fallout is likely to occur. When the ratio [(K / S) × 100] exceeds 50%, roughened particles tend to grow excessively, and it becomes difficult to obtain the good high frequency characteristics required by the present invention. Therefore, the ratio [(K / S) × 100] is preferably 25 to 50%.

May be In addition, since the said intermediate | middle layer and a silane coupling agent layer are very thin, they do not affect the particle shape of the roughening particle | grains in the roughening surface of surface-treated copper foil. The particle shape of the roughened particles in the roughened surface of the surface-treated copper foil is substantially determined by the particle shape of the roughened particles in the surface of the roughened layer corresponding to the roughened surface.

また、シランカップリング剤層の形成方法としては、例えば、表面処理銅箔の前記粗化処理層の凹凸表面上に、直接または中間層を介して間接的にシランカップリング剤溶液を塗布した後、風乾(自然乾燥)又は加熱乾燥して形成する方法が挙げられる。塗布されたカップリング剤溶液は、溶液中の水が蒸発すれば、シランカップリング剤層が形成されることで本発明の効果が十分に発揮される。50〜180℃で加熱乾燥すると、シランカップリング剤と銅箔の反応が促進される点で好適である。   In addition, as a method for forming a silane coupling agent layer, for example, after applying a silane coupling agent solution directly or indirectly via an intermediate layer on the uneven surface of the roughened layer of the surface-treated copper foil And air drying (natural drying) or a method of forming by heating and drying.
