Film carrier and method of manufacturing same

Abstract

Abstract There is provided a film carrier comprising a resin base film and a rolled copper foil laminated thereon, said rolled copper foil forming leads for mounting semiconductor chips or other electronic components in place, characterized in that said rolled copper foil is made of a copper alloy composition consisting essentially of a total of 0.005 to 1.5% by weight of one or two or more selected from a group consisting of ______________________________________ P 0.005-0.05 wt %, B 0.005-0.05 wt %, Al 0.01-0.5 wt %, As 0.01-0.5 wt %, Cd 0.01-0.5 wt %, Co 0.01-0.5 wt %, Fe 0.01-0.5 wt %, In 0.01-0.5 wt %, Mg 0.01-0.5 wt %, Mn 0.01-0.5 wt %, Ni 0.01-0.5 wt %, Si 0.01-0.5 wt %, Sn 0.01-0.5 wt %, Te 0.01-0.5 wt %, Ag 0.01-1 wt %, Cr 0.01-1 wt %, Hf 0.01-1 wt %, Zn 0.01-1 wt % and Zn 0.01-1 wt % ______________________________________ and the remainder Cu with inevitable impurities, preferably with oxygen content of not more than 50 ppm. There is also provided a method for manufacturing a film carrier characterized in that the leads of the film carrier for mounting semiconductor chips or other electronic components in place are formed by the steps of providing a rolled copper alloy foil having the composition defined above, preferably strain relief annealing it after its final cold rolling and then laminating the annealed foil onto a resin base film followed by etching.
