Abstract

A method of making an electrically conductive ink is provided. This ink is suitable for use in a photovoltaic device. The method includes the steps of providing solder particles, providing a surface oxide removal material; and formulating an ink with the solder particles and the surface oxide removal material. As a result, a solder is formed. This solder maintains electrical conductivity when used in the ink at a processing temperature less than 250 C.
