Background Art

[0002] Currently, devices using high-frequency radio waves are being developed for the spread of fifth-generation mobile communication systems and the like, and the demand for printed wiring boards compatible with the transmission of high-frequency signals is increasing.

[0003] Copper foils such as rolled copper foil and electrolytic copper foil are used as materials for such printed wiring boards. Conventionally, copper foil has been used after roughening the surface of the copper foil in order to enhance the adhesion to the resin film.

[0004] However, when the surface of the copper foil is roughened, there is a problem that the electrical signal attenuates and the transmission loss increases in the transmission of high-frequency signals.

[0005] On the other hand, if the adhesion between the copper foil and the resin film can be ensured without roughening the surface of the copper foil, the transmission loss due to the roughening treatment can be reduced, and the manufacturing process can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

[0006] On the other hand, for example, in Patent Document 1, a copper surface treatment agent that can treat the surface of copper in a smooth state without roughening treatment such as etching and can maintain the adhesion between copper and an insulating material such as resin is disclosed. The copper surface treatment agent contains a tin compound, a complexing agent, and a water-soluble polymer or a water-dispersible polymer, and the water-soluble polymer or the water-dispersible polymer has at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of an amino group, an epoxy group, a thiol group, a carboxyl group, a sulfonic acid group, a hydroxyl group, a phosphoric acid group, an imino group, and a silanol group.
