[0027] The technical solution of the present application is further described below through specific implementation methods. However, the following examples are merely simplified examples of the present application and do not represent or limit the scope of protection of the present application. The scope of protection of the present application shall be subject to the claims.

[0028] After extensive research, it was found that by limiting the ratio range of the roughness of the rough surface of the conductive layer and the maximum width of the grain, the square resistance uniformity of the thin film resistor was improved, and the adhesion between the thin film resistor and the circuit board was further improved, thereby improving the yield of the finished product.

[0029] The present application provides a composite metal foil, which includes a first conductive layer 1 and a first resistive layer 2. The first conductive layer 1 has at least one rough surface 11, on which a plurality of irregular protrusions 12 are formed. The first resistive layer 2 is arranged on the rough surface 11 of the first conductive layer 1; the roughness R of the first conductive layer 1 is z The ratio of the maximum width D of the grain 12 is 0.06≤R z / D≤30. The roughness R of the first conductive layer 1 is z By controlling the ratio of the maximum width D of the grains 12 on the rough surface 11 of the first conductive layer 1 within the above range, the square resistance uniformity of the composite metal foil can be greatly improved compared with the composite metal foil of the traditional structure. For example, it can be 0.06, 0.08, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30, or a range between any two of the above values.

[0030] It should be noted that, as shown in FIG1 , the rough surface 11 of the conductive layer 1 has a plurality of irregular peak-shaped protrusions 12 formed on the rough surface 11; the bottom of the protrusions 12 is connected to the surface of the conductive layer 1, and there is a clear boundary between the bottom edges of different protrusions 12, which is the grain boundary between grains (as shown in the circle in FIG1 ). In order to obtain better technical effects and further improve the uniformity of the square resistance of the composite metal foil resistor, the roughness R of the first conductive layer 1 is z The ratio of the maximum width D of the grain is 0.1≤R z / D≤25, for example, it can be 0.1, 0.2, 0.8, 3, 8, 12, 18, 22 or 25, or a range between any two of the above values.

[0031] The roughness R of the first conductive layer 1 is z The thickness of the first conductive layer 1 is 1-15 μm. Within the above range, the first conductive layer 1 has a uniform deposition surface, ensuring the uniformity of the square resistance of the first resistive layer 2 and reducing the roughness R z Too large will lead to the possibility of reduced continuity of the first resistance layer 1 and greater deviation of the square resistance uniformity; at the same time, it also reduces the possibility of large deviation due to the roughness R zIf the roughness R of the first conductive layer 1 is too small, the composite metal foil will not be able to meet the application requirements of the circuit board and may fall off or delaminate. z It may be outside the above range, for example, it may be 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm or 15 μm, or a range between any two of the above values.

[0032] It should be noted that the grain size D of the first conductive layer 1 is 0.5-15 μm. For example, the grain size D can be 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm or 15 μm, or a range between any two of the above values.

[0033] The composite metal foil is cut along its thickness, forming a plurality of irregular protrusions 12 on the cut surface. The protrusions 12 have a peak height of 0.3 to 10 μm and a peak width of 0.8 to 15 μm. The peak height is the vertical distance between the highest point of the protrusion 12 and the lower reference line, and the peak width is the length of the line segment formed by the two intersection points of the profile of the protrusion 12 and the reference line. The reference line is the midline between the lower and upper reference lines.

On the other hand, when the composite metal foil is attached to a circuit board, film layer 3 adheres to the first resistor layer 2 and the circuit board, further improving the peel strength between the composite metal foil and the circuit board. This prevents the composite metal foil from being peeled off from the circuit board, facilitating the subsequent preparation of a resistor layer with a specific shape. Furthermore, the film layer 3 can be used to create a foil-clad laminate that can be directly applied to flexible printed circuit boards.
