Abstract

A copper foil with a resistance layer is provided, wherein the variation value is small when it is made into a resistance element, the adhesion with the resin substrate to be laminated with is able to be sufficiently maintained, which has an excellent characteristics as a resistance element for a rigid and a flexible substrate. A copper foil with a resistance layer of the present invention comprises a copper foil on one surface of which a metal layer or alloy layer is formed from which a resistance element is to be formed, the surface of the metal layer or alloy layer being subjected to a roughening treatment with nickel particles. A method of production of a copper foil with a resistance layer of the present invention comprises: forming a resistance layer of phosphorus-containing nickel on a matte surface of an electrodeposited copper foil having crystals comprised of columnar crystal grains wherein a foundation of the matte surface is within a range of 2.5 to 6.5 μm in terms of Rz value prescribed in JIS-B-0601; and performing roughening treatment to a surface of the resistance layer with nickel particles wherein a roughness is within a range of 4.5 to 8.5 μm in terms of Rz value prescribed in JIS-B-0601. The alloy layer is for example formed from phosphorus-containing nickel.
