Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A laminate including a metallic base material, a nickel-containing plating film layer formed on the metallic base material, and a gold plating film layer formed on the nickel-containing plating film layer, in which pinholes in the gold plating film layer are sealed with a fluorinated passive film having a thickness of 8 nm or greater. Also disclosed is a constituent member of a semiconductor production device including the laminate and a method for producing the laminate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A laminate comprising a metallic base material, a nickel-containing plating film layer formed on the metallic base material, and a gold plating film layer formed on the nickel-containing plating film layer, wherein pinholes in the gold plating film layer are sealed with a fluorinated passive film having a thickness of 8 nm or greater, and wherein the nickel-containing plating film layer comprises a nickel-phosphorus alloy plating layer (1) having a phosphorus concentration of 8% by mass or higher and lower than 10% by mass, and a nickel-phosphorus alloy plating layer (2) having a phosphorus concentration of 10% by mass or higher and 12% by mass or lower in this order from the metallic base material. 2. The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the metallic base material comprises at least a metal selected from the group consisting of stainless steel, iron, aluminum, aluminum alloys, copper, and copper alloys. 3. The laminate according to claim 1 , having a nickel strike layer between the metallic base material and the nickel-containing plating film layer. 4. A constituent member of a semiconductor production device, made up of the laminate according to claim 1 . 5. A laminate comprising a metallic base material, a nickel-containing plating film layer formed on the metallic base material, and a gold plating film layer formed on the nickel-containing plating film layer, wherein pinholes in the gold plating film layer are sealed with a fluorinated passive film having a thickness of 8 nm or greater, and wherein the gold plating film layer comprises a displacement gold plating film layer and a reduction gold plating film layer in this order from the nickel-containing plating film layer. 6. The laminate according to claim 5 , wherein the metallic base material comprises at least a metal selected from the group consisting of stainless steel, iron, aluminum, aluminum alloys, copper, and copper alloys. 7. The laminate according to claim 5 , having a nickel strike layer between the metallic base material and the nickel-containing plating film layer. 8. A constituent member of a semiconductor production device, made up of the laminate according to claim 5 . 9. A method for producing the laminate according to claim 1 , comprising a step (A) of forming a nickel-containing plating film layer on a metallic base material, a step (B) of forming a gold plating film layer on the nickel-containing plating film layer, and a sealing treatment step (C) of forming a fluorinated passive film having a thickness of 8 nm or greater in pinholes in the gold plating film layer. 10. The method for producing the laminate according to claim 9 , wherein the sealing treatment step (C) is performed in an atmosphere in which a fluorinated gas concentration is 8% by volume or higher and a temperature is 100 to 150° C. 11. The method for producing the laminate according to claim 9 , wherein the metallic base material comprises at least one metal selected from the group consisting of stainless steel, iron, aluminum, aluminum alloys, copper, and copper alloys. 12. The method for producing the laminate according to claim 9 , comprising a step of subjecting the metallic base material to a nickel strike treatment under the condition of a current density of 5 to 20 A/dm 2 before the step (A). 13. The method for producing the laminate according to claim 9 , wherein the step (A) comprises a step (a1) of forming a nickel-phosphorus alloy plating layer (1) having a phosphorus concentration of 8% by mass or higher and lower than 10% by mass, and a step (a2) of forming a nickel-phosphorus alloy plating layer (2) having a phosphorus concentration of 10% by mass or higher and 12% by mass or lower after the step (a1). 14. The method for producing the laminate according to claim 9 , wherein the step (B) comprises a step (b1) of forming a displacement gold plating film layer, and a step (b2) of forming a reduction gold plating film layer after the step (b1).
