U.S. Patent 5,916,696. June 29, 1999 J .A. Abys et al., assignors to Lucent Technologies Inc., Murray Hill, N.J.
A lead frame comprising a substrate made of a material selected from the group consisting of copper, copper alloys, and nickel alloys with a conformable nickel coating thereon with a thickness of at least 0.5""m wherein cracks through the thickness of the nickel layer do not form when the lead frame is bent to an angle of at least about 82° with a forming radius of 150 to 300 ""m when the depth of the surface deformations that appear in the metal substrate as a result of the bending do not exceed 5 ""m and wherein the conformable nickel
coating is formed by placing the substrate in a nickel bath comprising 75 to 130 gIL of nickel as a nickel complex, 3 gIL of a nickel salt, 30 to 45 gIL of a buffer, and 5 to 20 mllL of a perfiuorinated quaternary amine wetting agent, and maintaining the pH of the bath in the range of2 to 2.5 while applying a current density of 5 to 50 Ndm 2 .
