More specifically, provided is a paste containing a flux component that can form a metal phase even in an inert atmosphere. The use of this paste allows a bonding material that can give a practically acceptable bonding strength to be provided in an inert atmosphere such as a nitrogen atmosphere at low temperatures without performing conventionally used pressurization. The paste is a bonding material configured to include: silver nanoparticles having an average primary particle diameter of 1 to 200 nm and coated with an organic material having 8 or less carbon atoms; a flux component having at least two carboxyl groups; and a dispersion medium. The use of this bonding material allows materials to be bonded even at a temperature of 300° C. or lower.

Abstract: In a bonding material using nanoparticles and a bonding method, use in combination with microparticles is proposed. However, there is the problem in which it is not easy to uniformly mix the nanoparticles and the microparticles. The present invention uses a bonding material including metal nanoparticles having an average particle diameter of 100 nm or less and a surface coated with an organic substance having 6 to 8 carbon atoms, and a polar solvent in an amount of 5 to 20% by mass with respect to a powder of the metal nanoparticles, and objects to be bonded with the bonding material interposed therebetween are fired at 200 to 350° C. under pressure. Thus, the metal nanoparticles are melted and returned to a bulk material, and therefore a bonding layer of the bulk material can be formed at a low temperature equal to or lower than a melting point.
