Abstract

A low softening point glass composition, which is substantially free from lead, bismuth and antimony and comprises oxides of vanadium, phosphorous, tellurium and iron, a softening point of the composition being 380° C. or lower.

Claims (19)

1. A low softening point glass composition, which is substantially free from lead, bismuth and antimony and comprises oxides of vanadium, phosphorous, tellurium and iron, a softening point of the composition being 380° C. or lower.

2. The low softening point glass composition according to claim 1 , which further comprises at least one oxide of manganese, zinc, tungsten, molybdenum and barium.

3. The low softening point glass composition according to claim 1 , wherein vanadium, phosphorous, tellurium, iron, manganese, zinc, tungsten, molybdenum and barium are contained in conversion as oxides, an amount of V 2 O 5 being in 40 to 65% by weight, P 2 O 5 in 10 to 20% by weight, TeO 2 in 20 to 25% by weight, Fe 2 O 3 in 5-15% by weight, and a total amount of MnO 2 , ZnO, WO 3 , MoO 3 and BaO in 0 to 10% by weight.

4. The low softening point glass composition according to claim 1 , wherein a thermal expansion coefficient of the glass composition over a temperature range of 25 to 250° C. is 100×10 −7 /° C. or lower.

5. The low softening point glass composition according to claim 1 , wherein the softening point is 360° C. or lower.

6. A low softening point sealing material comprising the glass composition according to claim 1 .

7. The low softening point sealing material according to claim 6 , which further comprises a filler, wherein an amount of the glass composition is 70% by volume or more and an amount of the filler is 30% by volume or less.

8. The low softening point sealing material according to claim 7 , wherein an average particle size of the filler is 30 μm or less.

9. A low softening point glass paste, which comprises the glass composition of claim 1 , filler particles, a resin material and a solvent.

10. A low softening point glass paste, which comprises the low softening point sealing material according to claim 6 , a resin material, a solvent, and a filler, wherein the filler is at least one member selected from the group consisting of niobium oxide, tantalum oxide and their compounds.

11. A low softening point glass paste, which comprises the low softening point sealing material according to claim 6 , a resin material, a solvent, and a filler, wherein the filler is zirconium tungstate phosphate.

12. A low softening point glass paste, which comprises the low softening point sealing material according to claim 6 , a resin material and a solvent, wherein a thermal expansion coefficient of the low softening point sealing material over a temperature range of 25 to 250° C. is 80×10 −7 /° C. or less.

13. A low softening point glass paste, which comprises the low softening point sealing material according to claim 6 , a resin material and a solvent, wherein a thermal expansion coefficient of the low softening point sealing material over a temperature range of 25 to 250° C. is 95×10 −7 /° C. to 120×10 −7 /° C.

14. An electrode material comprising metal powder and the low softening glass composition of claim 1 .

15. The electrode material according to claim 14 , wherein an amount of the metal powder is 83 to 93% by volume and the metal powder is selected from the group consisting of silver, copper and aluminum.

16. An electronic part comprising at least one of a glass sealing portion, a glass bonding portion and a glass coating, wherein the glass sealing portion, the glass bonding portion and the glass coating contain the glass composition according to claim 1 .

17. The electronic part according to claim 16 , wherein the electronic part is at least one of an IC ceramic package, a quartz vibrator and an image display.

18. An electronic part comprising an electronic component having an electrode, in contact with the electronic component, the electrode comprising metal and glass, wherein the glass is the low softening glass composition of claim 1 .

19. An electronic part comprising an electronic component having an electrode, in contact with the electronic component, the electrode comprising metal and glass, wherein the glass is the low softening point sealing material of claim 6 .
