Flexible adhesive-backed copper foil (FRCC) is an electronic material formed by coating a layer of flexible insulating resin onto the surface of ultra-thin electrolytic copper foil and bonding it to a flexible substrate structure. It is an important component of flexible circuit board materials. Its structure typically consists of a thin conductive copper layer and a polyimide or modified resin adhesive layer, possessing both conductivity and flexible insulation properties. It maintains stable electrical performance even under bending conditions and is mainly used in flexible circuit boards, bendable electronic modules, and high-density interconnect structures. It is widely used in smartphones, wearable devices, medical electronics, and avionics. FRCC material forms a semi-cured structure by coating an ultra-thin copper foil with a resin adhesive layer, allowing it to replace the traditional copper foil and adhesive film combination in multilayer flexible circuit board manufacturing, thereby reducing circuit board thickness and improving structural stability. In 2025, global sales of flexible adhesive-backed copper foil were approximately 5.6 million square meters, with an average unit price of approximately US$6.8 per square meter, and an overall industry capacity utilization rate of approximately 71%.
