Abstract

A lead frame plating method including the steps of (a) forming an intermediate layer on the upper surface of a metal substrate, (b) submerging the metal substrate into a plating solution, and (c) forming a passive layer to a thickness of 0.01 to 1.5 microinches on the upper surface of the intermediate layer by applying a modulated current to the plating solution and the metal substrate.
