Title:
ELECTRONIC COMPONENT, ELECTRONIC COMPONENT MOUNTED STRUCTURE, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ELECTRONIC COMPONENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/007677
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This invention provides a highly reliable electronic component, which does not cause a lowering in insulating resistance even under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions and is also excellent in solderability to an external electrode, and its mounted structure, and a process for producing the electronic component. The electronic component comprises an electronic component body (1) and external electrodes (5a, 5b) provided on the surface of the electronic component body. The external electrode comprises metal-containing substrate electrode layers (6a, 6b), alloy layers (17a, 17b) provided on the substrate electrode layers, Ni-plated layers (7a, 7b) provided on the alloy layers, Ni oxide layers (27a, 27b) provided on the Ni plating layer, and upper plating layers (8a, 8b) provided on the Ni oxide layers (27a, 27b). The thickness of the Ni oxide layer is not more than 150 nm, and the average particle diameter of the Ni particles constituting the Ni plating layer is not less than 2 μm. In the formation of the Ni plating layer with reduced grain boundaries, heat treatment is carried out in a reducing atmosphere having an oxygen concentration of not more than 100 ppm at a temperature of 500 to 900ºC.
