Provided is a method for producing a
copper-clad laminate in which a
copper foil and a resin are joined with
high heat-resistant adhesion even if a fluororesin belonging to a low
dielectric constant
thermoplastic resin is used. The method includes a step of preparing a surface-treated
copper foil having a
copper foil and a
zinc-containing layer provided on at least one side of the
copper foil, and a step of obtaining a copper-clad laminate by attaching a sheet-shaped fluororesin to the
zinc-containing layer side of the surface-treated
copper foil, thereby obtaining a copper-clad laminate. The
zinc-containing layer is composed of Zn and a transition element M having a
melting point of 1200°C or higher. When the interface between the copper foil and the zinc-containing layer is subjected to
elemental analysis by X-
ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS), the content of Zn is 10% by weight or less, and the weight ratio of the content ratio of Zn to the content of the transition element M, i.e., Zn / M, is 0.2 or more and 0.6 or less.
