First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A metal foil for electromagnetic shielding, comprising: a metal foil base having a thickness of exceeding 4 μm, an alloy layer having an A element composed of Sn or In and a B element group selected from the group consisting of one or more of Ag, Ni, Fe and Co formed on one or both surfaces of the base, and an underlayer having the B element group formed between the alloy layer and the base, wherein an adhesion amount of the A element is 10 to 300 μmol/dm 2 , and a total adhesion amount of the B element group is 40 to 900 μmol/dm 2 , and wherein a metal layer composed of the A element is not present on the surface of the alloy layer, and a plurality of needle-shaped or columnar-shaped protrusions is not included; each having an average diameter of 0.1 to 2.0 μm represented by an average value of a minimum circle diameter that surrounds a convex part of each protrusion, when the surface of the alloy layer is observed by SEM. 2 . The metal foil for electromagnetic shielding according to claim 1 , wherein the alloy layer is an intermetallic compound. 3 . The metal foil for electromagnetic shielding according to claim 1 , wherein the alloy layer further includes a C element group selected from the group consisting of one or more of P, W, Fe and Co. 4 . The metal foil for electromagnetic shielding according to claim 1 , wherein a total content of the C element group to the entire alloy layer is 40 wt % or less. 5 . The metal foil for electromagnetic shielding according to claim 1 , wherein a total content of Cu, Al and Zn included in the alloy layer is 10 wt % or less. 6 . The metal foil for electromagnetic shielding according to claim 1 , wherein an oxide is formed on the surface of the alloy layer. 7 . The metal foil for electromagnetic shielding according to claim 1 , wherein the base is composed of gold, silver, platinum, stainless steel, iron, nickel, zinc, copper, a copper alloy, aluminum or an aluminum alloy. 8 . The metal foil for electromagnetic shielding according to claim 1 , wherein the base is aluminum or the aluminum alloy, and wherein a Zn layer is formed between the base and the underlayer. 9 . An electromagnetic shielding material, comprising the metal foil for electromagnetic shielding according to claim 1 , and a resin layer laminated on one surface of the metal foil. 10 . The electromagnetic shielding material according to claim 9 , wherein the resin layer is a resin film. 11 . A shielding cable shielded by the electromagnetic shielding material according to claim 9 . 12 . A shielding cable shielded by the electromagnetic shielding material according to claim 10 . 13 . The metal foil for electromagnetic shielding according to claim 2 , wherein the alloy layer further includes a C element group selected from the group consisting of one or more of P, W, Fe and Co. 14 . The metal foil for electromagnetic shielding according to claim 2 , wherein a total content of the C element group to the entire alloy layer is 40 wt % or less. 15 . The metal foil for electromagnetic shielding according to claim 2 , wherein a total content of Cu, Al and Zn included in the alloy layer is 10 wt % or less. 16 . The metal foil for electromagnetic shielding according to claim 2 , wherein an oxide is formed on the surface of the alloy layer. 17 . The metal foil for electromagnetic shielding according to claim 2 , wherein the base is composed of gold, silver, platinum, stainless steel, iron, nickel, zinc, copper, a copper alloy, aluminum or an aluminum alloy. 18 . The metal foil for electromagnetic shielding according to claim 2 , wherein the base is aluminum or the aluminum alloy, and wherein a Zn layer is formed between the base and the underlayer. 19 . The metal foil for electromagnetic shielding according to claim 3 , wherein a total content of the C element group to the entire alloy layer is 40 wt % or less. 20 . The metal foil for electromagnetic shielding according to claim 3 , wherein a total content of Cu, Al and Zn included in the alloy layer is 10 wt % or less.
