Abstract

A method of producing a silver powder includes: adding a reductant to a silver ammine complex aqueous solution to obtain a first liquid; adding a surface treatment agent, in an amount of 0.05 to 0.15 wt % relative to weight of silver contained in the silver ammine complex aqueous solution, to the first liquid to obtain a second liquid; obtaining a first silver powder from the second liquid and drying; and stirring the first powder, a lubricant, and media inside of a vessel to obtain a second silver powder. A specific surface area diameter is 1.3 to 2.0 μm. A diameter at a cumulative value of 50% in a volume-based particle size distribution is 1.5 to 3 times the specific surface area diameter. Additive amounts of the lubricant and the surface treatment agent are, in total, 0.1 to 0.4 wt % relative to weight of silver in the first silver powder.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a silver powder and a production method for the silver powder that make it possible to prepare a conductive paste that makes it possible to obtain a wiring pattern that has a comparatively large ratio (aspect ratio) of height to line width. This silver powder includes pores enclosed in silver particles. The value of Sa/BET diameter, which is found by dividing the arithmetic average roughness Sa (nm) of the surface of the silver particles by the BET diameter found by using the values of the specific surface area (m2/g) and the true density as measured by the single-point BET method to calculate 6/(specific surface area×true density), is at least 0.0070. This production method for a silver powder includes a crushing step for crushing an agglomerated silver powder with an airflow-type pulverizer and a classification step for classifying the silver powder that has undergone the crushing step with a pneumatic classifier. The agglomerated silver powder has a water content of 5.0–30.0 wt%. At the crushing step, compressed air that is at a temperature of 80°C–180°C is supplied to the airflow-type pulverizer as supplied air. At the classification step, exhaust air from the airflow-type pulverizer and the silver powder that has undergone the crushing step are supplied to the pneumatic classifier, the exhaust air being at a temperature of at least 30°C and having a volume absolute humidity of at least 20 g/m3.
