Conductive fine powder, a conductive paste and an electronic component

A conductive fine powder includes flat metal/alloy fine particles. The flat metal/alloy fine particles have a nanocomposite structure in which crystalline or non-crystalline nanoparticles are mixed or formed in a matrix. The flat metal/alloy fine particles have a maximum thickness of 50 nm or less and a maximum diameter at least twice the thickness and contain a high-melting-point metal and a low-melting-point metal.
