Abstract

A microetching composition for copper or copper alloys comprising, (a) a cupric ion source, (b) an organic acid with an acid dissociation constant (pKa) of 5 or less, (c) a halide ion source, and (d) water. The composition can produce surfaces of copper or copper alloy exhibiting excellent adhesion to resins such as prepregs and resists and superior solderability. The composition can be very adaptable to the manufacture of printed wiring boards with highly integrated fine line patterns.
