Surface treated copper foil and laminate using the same, printed wiring board, and copper clad laminate

A surface treated copper foil which is well bonded to a resin and achieves excellent visibility when observed through the resin, and a laminate using the same are provided. The surface treated copper foil to be laminated on a polyimide having the following ΔB (PI) of 50 or more and 65 or less before being laminated to the copper foil so as to form a copper clad laminate comprising a surface having a color difference ΔE*ab of 50 or more based on JIS Z 8730 through the polyimide and a difference between the top average Bt and the bottom average Bb in a brightness curve extending from an edge of the copper foil to a portion without the copper foil ΔB (ΔB=Bt−Bb) of 40 or more, wherein the brightness curve is obtained from an observation spot versus brightness graph of measurement results of the brightness of the photographed image of the copper foil through the polyimide laminated from the surface treated surface side with a CCD camera for the respective observation spots along the perpendicular direction of the extending direction of the observed copper foil.
