Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an aqueous surface treatment agent and a laminate. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, devices that use high-frequency radio waves are being developed in preparation for the widespread adoption of fifth-generation mobile communication systems, and demand for printed circuit boards that can transmit high-frequency signals is increasing.

[0003] Copper foils such as rolled copper foils and electrolytic copper foils are used as materials for such printed wiring boards. Conventionally, copper foils have been used after their surfaces have been roughened to improve adhesion with resin films.

[0004] However, when the surface of the copper foil is roughened, there is a problem that the electrical signal is attenuated during the transmission of high frequency signals, resulting in an increased transmission loss.

[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 costs can be reduced.

[0006] In contrast to this, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a copper surface treatment agent that can treat the copper surface to a smooth state without roughening treatment such as etching and that can maintain adhesion between copper and an insulating material such as a resin. The copper surface treatment agent contains a tin compound, a complexing agent, and a water-soluble or water-dispersible polymer, and the water-soluble or 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 phosphate group, an imino group, and a silanol group.
