Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides silver nanoparticles that form a sintered body having a high shear strength and a low specific resistance when sintered at a low temperature (for example, 200° C. or less), even though the silver nanoparticles have an average particle diameter as large as 200 nm or more. Silver nanoparticles having an average particle diameter of 200 to 600 nm, wherein an exothermic peak due to binding of the silver nanoparticles in thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis appears at less than 175° C., and a weight loss on heating from 30 to 500° C. by thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis is 0.4% by weight or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. Silver nanoparticles having an average particle diameter of 240 nm to 500 nm, wherein a proportion of the number of particles with particle diameters of 100 to 200 nm is 10%-29%, wherein an exothermic peak due to binding of the silver nanoparticles to each other in thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis appears at less than 175° C., and a weight loss on heating from 30 to 500° C. by thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis is 0.4% by weight or less. 2. The silver nanoparticles according to claim 1 , wherein an amine compound is adhered to a surface of the silver nanoparticles. 3. A conductive adhesive comprising the silver nanoparticles according to claim 1 and a solvent. 4. A sintered body of the conductive adhesive according to claim 3 . 5. A device in which components are bonded with the sintered body according to claim 4 . 6. A conductive adhesive comprising the silver nanoparticles according to claim 2 and a solvent. 7. A sintered body of the conductive adhesive according to claim 6 . 8. A device in which components are bonded with the sintered body according to claim 7 . 9. The silver nanoparticles according to claim 1 , wherein the silver nanoparticles have an average particle diameter of 250 nm to 500 nm.
