Abstract

The present invention provides a plating film 50 including a nickel plating layer containing phosphorus and a gold plating layer formed on the nickel plating layer, wherein the nickel plating layer has a phosphorus content of 11 to 16 mass %, and wherein (3×σ×100)/X is 10 or less, where X and σ are the average value and standard deviation of the phosphorus content in a surface of the nickel plating layer on the gold plating layer side, respectively; and a module substrate 100 having the plating film 50.

Claims (29)

1. A plating film comprising:

a nickel plating layer containing phosphorus; and

a gold plating layer formed on the nickel plating layer;

wherein the nickel plating layer has a phosphorus content of 11 to 16 mass %,

wherein (3×σ×100)/X is 10 or less, where X and σ are the average value and standard deviation of the phosphorus content in a surface of the nickel plating layer on the gold plating layer side, respectively, and

wherein the phosphorus content in the nickel plating layer is higher as the gold plating layer is nearer.

2. A printed wiring board comprising a connection terminal having the plating film according to claim 1 .

3. A module substrate comprising a connection terminal having the plating film according to claim 1 and an electronic instrument electrically connected to the connection terminal.

4. A plating film comprising:

a nickel plating layer containing phosphorus; and

a gold plating layer formed on the nickel plating layer;

wherein the nickel plating layer has a phosphorus content of 11 to 16 mass %, and

wherein (3×σ×100)/X is equal or greater than 6.18 and is equal or less than 9.96, where X and σ are the average value and standard deviation of the phosphorus content in a surface of the nickel plating layer on the gold plating layer side, respectively.

5. The plating film according to claim 4 , wherein the phosphorus content in the nickel plating layer is higher as the gold plating layer is nearer.

6. A printed wiring board comprising a connection terminal having the plating film according to claim 5 .

7. A module substrate comprising a connection terminal having the plating film according to claim 5 and an electronic instrument electrically connected to the connection terminal.

8. A printed wiring board comprising a connection terminal having the plating film according to claim 4 .

9. A module substrate comprising a connection terminal having the plating film according to claim 4 and an electronic instrument electrically connected to the connection terminal.

10. A plating film comprising:

a nickel plating layer containing phosphorus; and

a gold plating layer formed on the nickel plating layer;

wherein the nickel plating layer has a phosphorus content of 11 to 16 mass %,

wherein (3×σ×100)/X is 10 or less, where X and σ are the average value and standard deviation of the phosphorus content in a surface of the nickel plating layer on the gold plating layer side, respectively, and

wherein a range of P 2 /P 1 is between 1.05-1.8, where P 2 represents the mass percentage of the phosphorus content in the surface of the nickel plating layer on the gold plating layer side, and P 1 represents the mass percentage of the phosphorus content in another surface of the nickel plating layer which is opposite to the surface on the gold plating layer side.

11. The plating film according to claim 10 , wherein the phosphorus content in the nickel plating layer is higher as the gold plating layer is nearer.

12. A printed wiring board comprising a connection terminal having the plating film according to claim 11 .

13. A module substrate comprising a connection terminal having the plating film according to claim 11 and an electronic instrument electrically connected to the connection terminal.

14. A printed wiring board comprising a connection terminal having the plating film according to claim 10 .

15. A module substrate comprising a connection terminal having the plating film according to claim 10 and an electronic instrument electrically connected to the connection terminal.
