Gould is the world’s leader in electro-formed foils, ranging from 1/4 oz. foil (9 micron) to 10 oz. foil (350 micron), produced to the highest quality standards within the industry. Free-standing JTC foil is available as thin as 1/4 oz. (9 micron). JTC-AM is a proprietary copper with high tensile strength and high elongation with superior handling capability. GEF is ED Foil that meets Grade 7 & 8 Flexible Standards.

Copper is the conductive medium through which electrical currents travel. Selective removal of the copper foil creates "copper traces" on the base material allowing electrical interconnections to be accomplished. Electrical current is also carried by copper deposited on the walls of the holes drilled in the boards, called electroless copper plating, thus connecting the top surface circuitry to the bottom as well as to layers of circuitry inside the base material. Electroless copper depositions range from 50 microinches to 150 microinches thick. The thicker deposits are called "heavy dep electroless." Though this is the most cost-effective method for metalizing the throughholes of a PCB, the process waste is costly to treat.
