Abstract

A microetching composition for copper or copper alloys comprising, (a) an oxidizing agent which can oxidize the copper or copper alloy, (b) a polymer compound which contains polyamine chains or a cationic group or both in the amount of 0.000001 to 1.0% by weight, and (c) 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 adaptable to the manufacture of printed wiring boards with highly integrated fine line patterns.
