Abstract: An alkalescent chemical silver electroless plating solution, which comprises: 0.01˜20 g/L silver ion or silver complex ion, 0.1˜150 g/L amine complexing agent, 0.1˜150 g/L amino acids complexing agent, and 0.1˜150 g/L polyhydroxy acids complexing agent. The alkalescent chemical silver plating solution provided by the present invention is able to overcome problems existing in acidic chemical silver plating processes commonly used at present. These problems include gnawing and corrosion of copper wires, lateral corrosion and difficulty of plating silver in blind holes, presence of solder ball voids and low strength of soldering. The silver layer plated by said silver plating solution possesses characteristics of high corrosion resistance, low contact resistance, no electromigration, high welding strength, and avoidance of bubbles produced in the solder when the plating pieces are being welded.
