Abstract:
A conductive paste which can form conductive films having superior stability due to prevention of change in viscosity with time, and having high reliability due to reduction of gas generation during a defatting is provided. The conductive paste is composed of a conductive powder having an average particle diameter of about 1.0 or less, an organic vehicle, an anionic macromolecular dispersing agent, and an amine having a boiling point of about 120null C. or more, but about 220null C. or less and constitutes about 0.1% to 5% by weight of 100% by weight of the conductive paste.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for manufacturing a metal powder by providing a reducing solution by dispersing caustic alkali, and hydrazine and/or hydrazine hydrate into a solvent; providing a metal salt solution comprising a salt of electroconductive metal, a rare earth metal salt and a solvent; and mixing the reducing solution with the metal salt solution to form a metal powder by depositing a hydroxide derived from the rare earth metal salt and by reducing the salt of electroconductive metal. With this metal powder manufacturing method, the sintering of the metal powder is restricted at a low temperature, the sintering initiation temperature is shifted to a higher level, and rapid sintering shrinkage is restricted, while ceramic grain growth is not accelerated.
Abstract:
A conductive paste is provided which can prevent the generation of wrinkles on electrode films after drying and which can be used for forming a highly reliable ceramic electronic element having superior appearance. The conductive paste contains a conductive component such as silver or copper and an organic vehicle. The organic vehicle contains an organic binder, a first solvent dissolving the organic binder and a second solvent substantially not dissolving the organic binder, wherein the boiling point of the first solvent is higher than that of the second solvent or is higher than the temperature at the end of distillation thereof by about 20null C. or more, and the content of the second solvent is about 30 to 70 wt % of the organic vehicle.
Abstract:
A conductive paste containing no Pb and able to suppress heat generation in a sintered ceramic body, and a medium and high voltage ceramic capacitor with thick film electrodes formed thereof, are provided. The conductive paste containing substantially no Pb is composed of an Ag powder, a glass powder having on a % by mole basis, 30
Abstract:
A metal powder is formed by the steps of preparing a reducing agent solution, preparing a mixed metallic salt solution by dissolving a nickel salt and a copper salt in a solvent, and mixing the reducing agent solution and the mixed metallic salt solution so that the copper salt is reduced to precipitate copper particle nuclei and then the nickel salt is reduced to precipitate nickel around the copper particle nuclei. A metal power produced by this production method, a conductive paste containing the metal powder and a monolithic ceramic electronic component in which internal electrodes are formed using the conductive paste are also disclosed.
