PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide nickel powder in which the number of connected grains in which the ratio of the major axis to the minor axis of the grains is ≥2 is reduced as metal grains suitable when the electrode layer of a laminated ceramic capacitor is obtained by pasting metal grains, coating the same and performing firing; and to provide a method for producing the same.SOLUTION: An alloy or a gaseous mixture including 0.5 to 60 mass% tin in nickel is used as raw material, and a vapor deposition method such as PVD and CVD is used to obtain nickel alloy powder including tin. The number ratio of the connected grains of the nickel alloy powder is ≤1%. |
