Abstract

Copper oxides have been formed to improve the adhesive strength of copper/epoxy joints. Initial adhesive strength and durability of copper/epoxy joints were compared depending upon the type of oxides, black or red oxide. Although the initial adhesive strength of black oxide treated joints was worse than that of red oxide treated joints, the durability in acidic environment was better. In order to improve the durability of red oxide treated joints, 5-amino-indazole was applied to inhibit the corrosion of oxide layer in acidic medium. With the treatment of 5-amino-indazole, initial adhesive strength was increased by 50%, and durability was improved. The loci of failure for oxide treated joints were investigated with scanning electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
