▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - An electronic component (100) comprises body (110) including a set of stacked dielectric layers and internal electrodes arranged with a corresponding dielectric layer interposed in between; and external electrodes (161, 162) arranged on the body and connected to the internal electrodes corresponding to it. One of the internal electrodes includes a particle including nickel (Ni) and tin (Sn), and a graphene layer arranged at a boundary of the particle. Ratio of Sn content to a total content of Ni and Sn is Sn/(Ni+Sn), and Sn/(Ni+Sn) of first region located inside the particle at a first distance from a boundary between the particle and the graphene layer is A1, Sn/(Ni+Sn) of a second region located inside the particle at a second distance from the boundary between the particle and the graphene layer is A2, the second distance is smaller than the first distance, and A1 is smaller than A2. USE - An electronic component, e.g. multilayer capacitors, such as a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC). ADVANTAGE - The electronic component has improved reliability. The graphene layer helps to secure a target capacitance by improving connectivity of the internal electrodes. In addition, the graphene layer prevents tin from being diffused into the dielectric layer by trapping tin in the particles. As a a result, a decrease in capacitance due to diffusion of Sn into the dielectric layer may be prevented. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for: (1) conductive powder particle for internal electrodes, comprising metal powder particle, coating layer surrounding at least a portion of a surface of the metal powder particle and including Sn, and graphene surrounding at least a portion of a surface of the coating layer; and (2) manufacture of electronic component which involves forming an unsintered body including a set of unsintered dielectric layers and unsintered internal electrodes formed by applying a conductive paste including Ni, Sn, and graphene to the unsintered dielectric layers, and sintering the unsintered body to form a sintered body, where the conductive paste includes conductive powder particles including a metal powder particle including Ni, a coating layer formed to surround at least a portion of a surface of the metal powder particle and including Sn, and graphene formed to surround at least a portion of a surface of the coating layer.
