Double-Side Treated Rolled-Annealed (RA) Copper Foil features micro-roughened mechanical and chemical treatments on both surfaces. Built from high-purity wrought copper, precision cold rolling and protective atmosphere annealing optimize its crystal orientation (primarily cubic texture) for high dynamic flexibility. The dual-side nodular treatment creates an interlocking anchor structure with dielectric adhesive layers, preventing delamination during high-density circuit etching and thermal cycling.

 

Key Material

 

Base Material: Oxygen-free copper (Cu >= 99.99%, C11000 or C10200 equivalents).
Treatment Layer: Electro-deposited micro-nodules (copper-cobalt-nickel alloy or proprietary barrier layer) applied to both sides to inhibit copper migration and improve peel strength.
Microstructure: Recrystallized grain structure oriented along the (200) and (220) planes, engineered to resist fatigue fracture under continuous dynamic bending. 

 

Performance Features

 

Dual-Side Adhesion: Dual-face micro-roughened morphology achieves peel strength >= 0.7 N/mm with polyimide films in multi-layer stack-ups.

Dynamic Flex Resistance: Withstands over 150,000 cycles in MIT folding endurance tests without matrix micro-cracking.

Etching Uniformity: Controlled treatment depth prevents undercutting during fine-line patterning (L/S <= 15 um).

Thermal Stability: Withstands sequential lamination cycles up to 280 deg C for 30 minutes without bond degradation.

FAQ

 

Q: What is the difference between ED and RA copper foil surface treatment?

A: Electrodeposited (ED) foil has a naturally columnar rough growth structure on the drum side, whereas Rolled-Annealed (RA) foil is smooth and requires engineered mechanical/chemical treatment on both sides to achieve equivalent peel strength.

Q: Does the treatment prevent copper migration into the dielectric layer?

A: Yes. The multi-layer electrolytic treatment incorporates a nickel-bearing passivation barrier that inhibits copper ion diffusion under high-temperature and high-humidity bias conditions.

Q: What is the MOQ for custom slit widths?

A: Determined by master coil allocation, starting at 50 kg or equivalent master coil yield for non-standard thicknesses.

Q: Are sample rolls available for line trials?

A: A4-sized sheet samples and 10 meter trial rolls are available for laboratory evaluation.
