2. Description of the Related Art Printed wiring boards, lead frames, TAs
Electroless devices often require electroless gold plating, as typified by B, contact terminals and electrodes of semiconductor devices and the like. Electroless gold plating transfers and deposits electrons by dissolving a material of an object to be plated, and thus involves corrosion of a base and a material. In order to prevent the deterioration of the function due to the corrosion of the base and the material, a method of forming an electroless nickel plating film as a barrier layer on the material and then applying an electroless gold plating film has been used. In particular, in the electroless gold plating of a printed wiring board, it is common to form an electroless gold plating film after forming an electroless nickel plating underlayer of 3 μm to 5 μm on a copper material of the printed wiring board. However, when the thickness of the electroless nickel plating film is 7 μm or less, since the electroless nickel plating film is precipitated in a granular form, a concave grain boundary exists at the boundary of each grain. When the electroless gold plating is formed at the grain boundary, the deposition reaction of gold is concentrated, so that the electroless nickel plating film is remarkably eluted, and further becomes concave. The flux used at the time of soldering easily accumulates in this concave portion, and the flux remains after soldering. As a result, not only does the bonding area between the solder and the electroless nickel plating film decrease, but it also tends to be a starting point of destruction, which causes a decrease in the adhesion to the solder.

In the above prior art,
When soldering is performed, there is a disadvantage that the adhesion to the solder is reduced. When the adhesive strength with the solder is reduced, especially in a printed wiring board, thermal stress such as a ball grid array (hereinafter, referred to as BGA) and a chip scale package (hereinafter, referred to as CSP) tends to accumulate, and the soldering of components requiring strength is required. In the attaching step, defective soldering increases, and the yield is deteriorated. Further, even if no failure occurs during the soldering process, it is difficult to obtain sufficient connection reliability.

Therefore, when mounting components such as BGA and CSP, a method of absorbing the thermal stress concentrated on the soldered portion by increasing the amount of solder in the soldered portion or devising the shape of the solder fillet is studied. However, it has not been improved to improve the connection reliability of components. In addition, after soldering the component and the printed wiring board, a method of bonding and reinforcing the component and the printed wiring board with an epoxy resin or the like has been implemented, but there is a disadvantage that the number of steps such as insertion and curing of the epoxy resin increases. .
