(Prior Art) In electroless nickel plating, activation treatment is performed on the material as a pretreatment in order to start the electroless nickel plating reaction. In other words, in electroless nickel plating, even if the material is suddenly immersed in the plating solution at i% i72, no reaction occurs, and it is necessary to perform an activation treatment to attach the metal that will become the nucleus of the reaction on the surface of the material. The film grows around this core metal. The core metals are noble metals such as Pd and Pt.

There are two types of activating solutions for the above-mentioned activation process: a solution called a sensitizer containing Sn2+ as a main component, and a solution called an activator containing Pd'' as a main component.

To carry out the activation treatment, the material is first immersed in a sensitizer. Then, Sn 2+ in the sensitizer selectively adheres to the metal portion to be plated. Next, if the material is immersed in an activator, the Pd2+ in the activator
is attached to the metal part to be plated, replacing the above-mentioned Sn2+.

Since Sn2+ has such selectivity, it is suitable for performing electroless nickel plating on, for example, a tungsten metallized wiring pattern formed on a ceramic substrate.

(発明が解決しようとする問題点) しかし上記従来の活性化液にも次のような問題点がある

That is, it is troublesome to prepare two liquids, a sensitizer and an activator. Also, as mentioned above, Sn2+ and P
There are one-liquid products that contain a mixture of Sn2+ and P.
Liquid management to maintain the balance of d2+ ion concentration is difficult.

Furthermore, Sn2+ has selectivity and adheres only to the metal parts to be plated, but Pd2+ does not have selectivity, so it adheres to some non-metallic parts and forms an electroless nickel plating film on those parts. There is a risk of formation.
