Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Method for forming a metal film includes forming an oxide layer on a to-be-treated surface of a to-be-treated object by bringing the to-be-treated surface into contact with a reaction solution containing fluorine and an oxide precursor, removing fluorine in the oxide layer, supporting a catalyst on the oxide layer by bringing the oxide layer into contact with a catalyst solution, and depositing a metal film on the oxide layer by bringing the oxide layer into contact with an electroless plating liquid.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a laminated film structure comprising: forming an oxide layer on a to-be-treated surface of a to-be-treated object by bringing the to-be-treated surface into contact with a reaction solution containing fluorine and an oxide precursor, the to-be-treated object being made of an insulator or an insulator having a conductive layer formed on the surface thereof in advance; removing fluorine in the oxide layer; forming a catalyst layer by bringing the oxide layer into contact with a catalyst liquid; and forming a metal film on the catalyst layer by an electroless plating method. 2. The method for manufacturing the laminated film structure according to claim 1 , wherein the oxide precursor includes at least one type or more elements selected from titanium, silicon, tin, zirconium, zinc, nickel, indium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, and copper. 3. The method for manufacturing the laminated film structure according to claim 1 , wherein the reaction solution includes at least one type of a boric acid salt, an aluminum salt, and hydrogen peroxide. 4. The method for manufacturing the laminated film structure according to claim 1 , wherein the catalyst liquid contains at least one type of element selected from gold, palladium, and silver. 5. The method for manufacturing the laminated film structure according to claim 1 , further comprising forming a second metal layer on the metal layer by an electrolytic plating method. 6. The method for manufacturing the laminated film structure according to claim 1 , wherein the metal layer formed by the electroless plating method contains at least one type of element selected from nickel and copper. 7. The method for manufacturing the laminated film structure according to claim 1 , wherein: a thickness of the oxide layer is 200 nm or more; and the fluorine removal includes annealing the oxide layer at 100° C. or higher and 150° C. or lower, and bringing the oxide layer into contact with an alkali solution with a pH of 10.5 or higher, after the annealing. 8. The method for manufacturing the laminated film structure according to claim 1 , wherein: a thickness of the oxide layer is less than 200 nm; the oxide layer is formed of an amphoteric oxide; and the fluorine removal includes any of: annealing the oxide layer at 150° C. or higher; or annealing the oxide layer at 100° C. or higher and 150° C. or lower, and bringing the oxide layer into contact with an alkali solution with a pH of 10.5 or higher, after the annealing. 9. The method for manufacturing the laminated film structure according to claim 1 , wherein: a thickness of the oxide layer is less than 200 nm; the oxide layer is formed of a material other than an amphoteric oxide; and the fluorine removal includes any of: annealing the oxide layer at 150° C. or higher; or bringing the oxide layer into contact with an alkali solution with a pH of 10.5 or higher.
