Abstract

A method for producing a Cu—Sn layer and an Sn-based surface layer are formed in this order on the surface of a Cu-based substrate through an Ni-based base layer, and the Cu—Sn layer is composed of a Cu3Sn layer arranged on the Ni-based base layer and a Cu6Sn5 layer arranged on the Cu3Sn layer; the Cu—Sn layer obtained by bonding the Cu3Sn layer and the Cu6Sn5 layer is provided with recessed and projected portions on the surface which is in contact with the Sn-based surface layer; thicknesses of the recessed portions are set to 0.05 μm to 1.5 μm, the area coverage of the Cu3Sn layer with respect to the Ni-based base layer is 60% or higher, and the ratio of the thicknesses of the projected portions to the thicknesses of the recessed portions in the Cu—Sn layer is 1.2 to 5.
