Microstructure, and chemical composition changes on the copper surface were investigated using SEM-EDX analysis. A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser was focused at laser energy of 224 mJ and 465 mJ to roughening the copper surface. The higher the laser energy were responsible for the increasing laser surface roughening process. The rapid heat and cooling process introduced a non-equilibrium condition causing changes in the microstructure as well as the chemical composition of the roughening copper surface. Therefore, the heavier the roughening effect will affect the advantage of adhesive bonding between copper surfaces.
