## Abstract

A laminate for a chamber inner wall of a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus is provided. The laminate prevents layer unevenness from occurring in the chamber inner wall. The laminate has a base material, an amorphous layer on the base material, and a crystalline layer on the amorphous layer. The thickness of the amorphous layer is greater than or equal to 1 nm and less than or equal to 10 nm. The crystalline layer includes yttrium and fluorine, and a density of the crystalline layer is greater than and equal to 4.7 g/cm3 and less than or equal to 5.3 g/cm3.
