CIVEN Metal 12um High-Precision RA (Rolled-Annealed) Copper Foil is a cold-rolled, recrystallized metallic substrate engineered for dynamic flex applications and high-frequency signal transmission. Manufactured from high-purity electrolytic copper, this foil undergoes multi-pass cold rolling and controlled hydrogen-atmosphere annealing to deliver uniform elongation, low surface profile, and consistent electrical conductivity across full-width master coils.

 

Key Material

 

Base Metal: High-purity cathode copper (C11000 / Cu-ETP or C10200 / OF-Cu).
Microstructure: Equiaxed grain structure achieved via precision annealing, eliminating directional mechanical anisotropy.
Surface Treatment: Anti-oxidation passivation layer applied to inhibit atmospheric oxidation and enhance resin lamination bonding. 

 

Performance Features

 

Dimensional Uniformity: Thickness controlled within +/- 0.3um across a 1200 mm web width, preventing local impedance variations.
Dynamic Flexibility: Withstands > 15,000 MIT folding endurance cycles without micro-cracking for sliding FPCs and hinge areas.
Signal Integrity: Minimized skin effect attenuation at frequencies exceeding 10 GHz due to low profile characteristics.
Thermal Stability: Retains tensile strength up to 180°C during multi-layer PCB lamination cycles.

Manufacturing & Quality Control

 

Cold Rolling: Multi-roll precision Sendzimir mills equipped with automatic gauge control (AGC) maintain strict thickness tolerances.
Controlled-Atmosphere Annealing: Continuous strand annealing furnaces utilize hydrogen-nitrogen mixed gas to eliminate surface oxidation and control grain growth.
Surface Inspection: 100% online optical defect detection systems identify pinholes and inclusions at speeds up to 100 m/min.
Laboratory Verification: Lots verified via universal tensile testers, laser profilometers, and four-point probe resistivity meters. Mill Test Certificates (MTC) issued per lot. 

 

Applications

 

Flexible Printed Circuit Boards (FPCs): Dynamic flexing zones in mobile devices and automotive displays.
5G Telecommunication Modules: High-frequency transmission lines and antenna substrates requiring low insertion loss.
Lithium-Ion Batteries: Specialized current collector foils for high-rate discharge cells and solid-state battery prototypes.
IC Packaging: Chip-on-Flex (COF) and Tape Automated Bonding (TAB) substrates with fine-line etching requirements (< 20um pitch). 

 

Customization & OEM Supply

 

Width Slitting: Custom slit widths from 10 mm to 1290 mm with a dimensional tolerance of +/- 0.1 mm and burr height < 10% of foil thickness.
Surface Modification: Chemical passivation or adhesion-promoting treatments tailored to PI, PET, or LCP substrate bonding.
Mechanical Tempering: Adjustable tensile strength and elongation profiles (soft, semi-hard, full-hard) matched to downstream stamping or etching. 

 

Packaging & Delivery

 

Core Material: Suspended on 3-inch or 6-inch high-strength PP or aluminum cores to prevent winding deformation.
Moisture Protection: Vacuum-sealed in anti-static moisture-barrier bags with silica gel desiccant.
Cushioning: Secured inside custom wooden export crates using shock-absorbing foam collars.
Traceability: Each master roll carries a unique barcode label detailing alloy grade, heat number, batch ID, and dimensions.

FAQ

 

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for 12um RA copper foil?

A: The standard MOQ is 50 kg or one master slit width equivalent, subject to master roll allocation. Sample orders (5–10 kg) are available for R&D evaluation.

Q: How does RA copper foil differ from ED copper foil in etching performance?

A: RA copper foil features a uniform equiaxed grain structure that etches evenly without columnar grain boundary attack, resulting in cleaner sidewalls and higher yield for fine-line circuits below 20um pitch.

Q: Can CIVEN Metal provide customized mechanical tempers for specific stamping requirements?

A: Yes. Annealing parameters can be adjusted during production to deliver specific yield strength and elongation values optimized for static lamination or dynamic bending.

Q: What documentation accompanies each shipment?

A: Every delivery includes a detailed Mill Test Certificate (MTC) containing actual measured thickness, tensile strength, elongation, surface roughness, and electrical conductivity values for the specific production lot.
