A metal paste for joining includes aggregates of metal nanoparticles and a solvent, and an average particle size of the aggregates is 1 μm or more.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A metal paste for joining, the metal paste comprising: aggregates of metal nanoparticles; and a solvent, wherein an average particle size of the aggregates is 1 μm or more, and a content of the aggregates is 5 to 50% by weight of a weight of the metal paste. 2 . (canceled) 3 . The metal paste according to claim 1 , further comprising: metal particles having an average particle size of 0.3 to 3 μm. 4 . The metal paste according to claim 3 , wherein a content of the metal particles is 60 to 90% by weight of a-the weight of the metal paste. 5 . The metal paste according to claim 3 , wherein a content of a metal component including a metal in the metal nanoparticles and the metal particles is 90% by weight or more of the weight of the metal paste. 6 . The metal paste according to claim 5 , wherein the content of the metal component is 95% by weight or more of the metal paste. 7 . A metal paste for joining for joining members through a drying step and a burning step, wherein a shrinkage rate of the metal paste in a thickness direction is 20% or less in the drying step of drying at 120° C. for 30 minutes under an atmospheric pressure condition, and the shrinkage rate of the metal paste after the drying step in the thickness direction is 10% or less in the burning step of burning at 250° C. for 30 minutes under the atmospheric pressure condition. 8 . A metal paste for joining, wherein a total shrinkage rate of the metal paste in a thickness direction is 20% or less in a drying step of drying at 120° C. for 30 minutes under an atmospheric pressure condition and in a burning step of burning at 250° C. for 30 minutes under the atmospheric pressure condition after the drying step. 9 . A joining method, comprising: a coating step of coating the metal paste according to claim 1 on a first member; and a joining step of joining the first member and a second member, the joining step including a contact step of bringing the first member and the second member into contact, a drying step of drying the metal paste, and a burning step of burning the dried metal paste, the first member and the second member being joined by the drying step and the burning step. 10 . The joining method according to claim 9 , wherein the joining step is performed under no-pressure condition. 11 . A joined body joined according to the method according to claim 9 . 12 . A metal paste for the joining method according claim 9 , wherein a shrinkage rate of the metal paste in a thickness direction is 20% or less in the drying step of drying at 120° C. for 30 minutes under an atmospheric pressure condition, and a shrinkage rate of the metal paste after the drying step in the thickness direction is 10% or less in the burning step of burning at 250° C. for 30 minutes under the atmospheric pressure condition. 13 . A metal paste for the joining method according claim 9 , wherein a total shrinkage rate of the metal paste in a thickness direction is 20% or less in the drying step of drying at 120° C. for 30 minutes under an atmospheric pressure condition and in the burning step of burning at 250° C. for 30 minutes under the atmospheric pressure condition after the drying step.
