In particular, in Comparative Example 1, clear areas where the adhesion of the first protective layer was insufficient were observed. However, in Examples 1 to 3, compared to Comparative Example 1, it was confirmed that the time until migration occurred was longer, and higher resistance value stability was exhibited. In Example 4, Cu dendrites were observed after 500 hours and the resistance decreased, and in Examples 5 and 6, no change of 3% or more in resistance value was observed even after 1000 hours.
