Abstract

The invention relates to an electrode that can be formed by firing in air a conductive paste comprising a copper powder, a boron powder, an additional inorganic powder, a glass frit, and an organic medium, wherein the additional inorganic powder is selected from the group consisting of silica powder, indium tin oxide powder, zinc oxide powder, alumina powder, and mixture thereof.

Claims (8)

1. An electrode formed by firing in air a conductive paste comprising a copper powder, a boron powder, an additional inorganic powder, a glass frit, and an organic medium, wherein the additional inorganic powder is selected from the group consisting of silica powder, indium tin oxide powder, zinc oxide powder, alumina powder, and mixture thereof, and the surface area(SA) of the additional inorganic powder is 15 m 2 /g to 380 m 2 /g, and wherein the particle diameter (D50) of the boron powder is 0.1 to 5 μm.

2. The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the copper powder is 30 to 88 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the conductive paste.

3. The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the boron powder is 1.5 to 19 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the conductive paste.

4. The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the glass frit is 0.1 to 6.5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the conductive paste.

5. The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the additional inorganic powder is in the range of 0.1 to 15 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the copper powder and the boron powder.

6. The electrode according to claim 5 , wherein the additional inorganic powder is in the range of 0.5 to 8 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the copper powder and the boron powder.

7. The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive paste further comprising a photo-polymerization compound and a photo-polymerization initiator.

8. The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the additional inorganic powder is fumed silica powder.
