Abstract

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing an electronic device. The method comprises the steps of: preparing a substrate comprising an electrically conductive layer; applying a conductive paste on the electrically conductive layer; wherein the conductive paste comprises 100 parts by weight of a metal powder, 5 to 20 parts by weight of a solvent, and 0.07 to 3 parts by weight of a branched higher fatty acid; mounting an electrical component on the applied conductive paste; and heating the conductive paste to bond the electrically conductive layer and the electrical component. The invention also provides the conductive paste.
