[0061] [Examples 1-10] According to the composition shown in Table 1, the components (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), additives and water were mixed to obtain the silver plating solutions of Examples 1 to 10. As additives, 10 g / L of imidazole and 10 g / L of ethylenediaminetetramethylenephosphonic acid were added to each silver plating solution. The remainder (remainder) in the composition of the silver plating solution shown in Table 1 was water, and the concentration of each component was adjusted with water.

[0062] [Table 1]

[0063] [Comparative Examples 1 to 7] According to the composition shown in Table 2, the components (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), additives and water were mixed to obtain the silver plating solutions of Comparative Examples 1 to 7. As additives, 10 g / L of imidazole and 10 g / L of ethylenediaminetetramethylenephosphonic acid were added to each silver plating solution.

The substrates to be plated are respectively immersed in the respective silver plating solutions. As the substrate to be plated, a substrate having a NiB layer formed on a Si substrate having a SiO2 layer on the surface is used. Then, a silver film is formed on the substrate to be plated by an electroless silver plating method under the following plating conditions. (Plating conditions) (1) Liquid temperature: 25℃ (2) Plating time: 3 minutes

[0066] In Evaluation Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Evaluation Examples 1 to 7, Figure 1 As shown, the surface of the silver film 1 formed on the surface of the plated substrate 2 was observed by a scanning probe microscope (manufactured by BRUKER, model: MultiMode 8), and the surface roughness Ra of the silver film 1 was measured. In addition, the peeling of the obtained silver film was visually confirmed. The results are shown in Table 3.

In particular, in evaluation examples 1, 6, and 8, a silver film with particularly excellent surface flatness can be formed.
