Abstract

The present invention provides a surface treated metal material for burn-in test socket wherein contact resistance between the contact of the socket and other metal materials being inserted is excellently suppressed when used for the contact for burn-in test socket.
The surface treated metal material for burn-in test socket, comprising
a base material, a lower layer being constituted with one or two or more selected from the constituent element group A, the constituent element group A consisting of Ni, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Cu, an intermediate layer formed on the lower layer, the intermediate layer being constituted with one or two or more selected from the constituent element group A and one or two selected from a constituent element group B, the constituent element group B consisting of Sn and In, and an upper layer formed on the intermediate layer, the upper layer being constituted with one or two selected from the constituent element group B and one or two or more selected from a constituent element group C, the constituent element group C consisting of Ag, Au, Pt, Pd, Ru, Rh, Os and Ir, wherein the thickness of the lower layer is 0.05 μm or more and less than 5.00 μm, the thickness of the intermediate layer is 0.01 μm or more and less than 0.40 μm, and the thickness of the upper layer is 0.02 μm or more and less than 1.00 μm.

First claim

1 . A surface treated metal material for burn-in test socket, comprising
