The spherical metal powder with uniform particle size can ensure the uniformity of the conductive paste, so that metal particles are in good contact after sintering; meanwhile, large particles occasionally existing in the powder can be prevented from penetrating through the dielectric layer to cause the structural defect of no lamination; 3) The tap density of the metal powder is large enough, and the larger the tap density of the metal powder is, the stronger the shrinkage resistance in the sintering process is, so that the metal powder is more suitable for manufacturing qualified slurry layers.
