Electroconductive adhesive

Abstract

An electroconductive adhesive comprising a plurality of metal fine particles A that each comprise a protective layer, wherein: (a) the metal fine particles A comprise two or more different types of particles, each coated with a C5-C7 monoalkylamine, wherein the two or more different types of particles comprise: (i) a first type of particle having an average particle diameter of 100-300 nm, and (ii) a second type of particle having an average particle diameter of 30-100 nm; and (b) the protective layer suppresses mutual aggregation of the metal fine particles A. Also disclosed are sintered objects of the electroconductive adhesive, methods of manufacturing the electroconductive adhesive and methods of bonding members with the electroconductive adhesive.
