| Abstract |
| The effect of additives, current density and plated temperature on the surface morphology and physical property, during copper electrodeposition on polyimide (PI) film was investigated. Two kinds of additives, Cl and leveler (additive B), were used in this study. Electrochemical experiments were performed in conjunction with SEM, XRD and four-point probe to characterize the morphology and mechanical characteristics of copper electrodeposited in the presence of the additives. The surface roughness, crystal growth orientation and resistivity was controlled by the concentration of additive B. High resistivity and lower peel strength were observed on the surface of the copper layer electroplated in the electrolyte without additive B. However, a uniform surface, lower resistivity and high flexibility were obtained with a combination of 20 ppm Cl and 100 ppm additive B. Large particles were observed on the surface of the copper layer electroplated using a current density of 25 mA/cm2, but a uniform surface and lower resistivity were obtained using a current density of 10 mA/cm2. One of the required important properties of FCCL is flexibility of the copper foil. High flexibility of FCCL was obtained at a low current density, rather than a high current density. Moreover, a reasonable current density is 20 mA/cm2, considering the productivity and mechanical properties of copper foil. (Received June 28, 2013) |
