Abstract:
In a surface treatment method for stainless steel, a stainless-steel surface fine-structure forming method for forming a fine irregular structure (roughened surface) having a high surface area is provided. A stainless-steel surface treatment method according to the present invention is for forming the fine structure on the surface of stainless steel. The method includes: a first step of performing grain refining treatment for refining crystal grains in the surface of stainless steel; and a second step performed, after the first step, for roughening etching the surface of stainless steel with an etching solution.
Abstract:
Described herein are methods for improved transfer of graphene from formation substrates to target substrates. In particular, the methods described herein are useful in the transfer of high-quality chemical vapor deposition-grown monolayers of graphene from metal, e.g., copper, formation substrates via non-polymeric methods. The improved processes provide graphene materials with less defects in the structure.

Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a copper surface treatment method capable of keeping certainly a bonding strength between a copper surface and a resist, or between a copper surface and an insulating resin without forming irregularities having sizes of more than 1 µm on the copper surface, and a copper treated with the method. The surface treatment method, comprising: a first step of forming, on a copper surfaces, a nobler metal than the copper discretely; a second step, subsequent to the first step, of forming copper oxide on the copper surface by oxidation with an alkaline solution containing an oxidizing agent; and third step of dissolving the copper oxide so as to be removed, thereby forming irregularities on the copper surface.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a microetching solution for copper, a replenishment solution therefor and a method for production of a wiring board. The microetching solution of the present invention consists of an aqueous solution containing a cupric ion, an organic acid, a halide ion, an amino group-containing compound having a molecular weight of 17 to 400 and a polymer. The polymer is a water-soluble polymer including a polyamine chain and/or a cationic group and having a weight average molecular weight of 1000 or more. When a concentration of the amino group-containing compound is A% by weight and a concentration of the polymer is B% by weight, a value of A/B of the microetching solution of the present invention is 50 to 6000. According to the present invention, an adhesion between copper and a resin or the like may be maintained even with a low etching amount.
