Abstract

Recently, requirement for the ultra thin copper foil increase with smaller and miniaturized electronic components. A study has been made to determine the effect of an electrochemically produced titanium-oxide film on the nucleation and growth of copper. The oxide films were made current step and potential step at 30°C in 1.5M sulfuric acid on pure titanium metal. The formation of a microporous oxide layer on the titanium electrode greatly enhances the surface density of copper crystals. For a 50seconds of deposition, the surface roughness of the copper deposit is lower than that of the untreated surface.
