CONDUCTIVE PASTE COMPOSITION AND SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES MADE THEREWITH

摘要

A conductive paste composition contains a source of an electrically conductive metal, a first oxide component, a second, non-oxide, magnesium-containing component, and an organic vehicle. An article such as a high-efficiency photovoltaic cell is formed by a process of deposition of the paste composition on a semiconductor device substrate (e.g., by screen printing) and firing the paste to remove the organic vehicle and sinter the metal and establish electrical contact between it and the substrate.

1. A paste composition, comprising:
an inorganic solids portion that comprises:
(a) a first oxide component,(b) a second, non-oxide, magnesium-containing component, and(c) a source of an electrically conductive metal consisting essentially of Ag, Au, Cu, Ni, Pd, Pt, or a mixture or alloy thereof; and an organic vehicle in which the constituents of the inorganic solids portion are dispersed.
