After mixing the silver nanoparticle, the silver precursor and the solvent, the nano-silver paste is obtained. After being heated at 250° C. for 30 minutes, the nano-silver paste has a resistance of (3.09±0.61)×10?5 ?·cm. By being heated at 250° C. and applied with a pressure of 10 MPa to be hot-pressed for 30 minutes for joining copper to copper, the nano-silver paste obtains a bonding strength reaching 36 MPa.
