Present invention provides an electro-deposited copper foil having the equivalent low-profile surface as in a conventional low-profile electro-deposited copper foil and extremely large mechanical strength and a method for manufacturing the same. The electro-deposited copper foil is formed by depositing fine copper crystal grains having a small deviation of grain-diameter. The electro-deposited copper foil has a low-profile and glossy surface and has extremely large mechanical strength expressed by a tensile strength as received of 70 kgf/mm2 to 100 kgf/mm2 and has a tensile strength after heating (180° C. for 60 minutes) corresponding to 85% or more of the tensile strength as received. The electro-deposited copper foil is manufactured by electrolysis using a sulfuric acid base copper electrolytic solution containing a compound composed of a benzene ring having a sulfo group bonded thereto, a sulfonate of an active sulfur compound and a polymer of a quaternary ammonium salt having a cyclic structure.
