Abstract
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electronic component in which a copper electrode and an inorganic substrate exhibit strong adhesion to each other. A method for producing an electronic component according to the present invention comprises: an application step wherein a paste is applied onto an inorganic substrate, which paste contains copper particles, copper oxide particles and/or nickel oxide particles, and inorganic oxide particles having a softening point; a sintering step wherein a sintered body which contains at least copper is formed by means of heating in an inert gas atmosphere at a temperature that is less than the softening point of the inorganic oxide particles but not less than the sintering temperature of the copper particles; and a softening step wherein heating is carried out in an inert gas atmosphere at a temperature that is not less than the softening point of the inorganic oxide particles.
