<p>Provided are: a ruthenium oxide powder which is produced, at low cost, as a material for electronic components such as a chip resistor, a hybrid IC and a resistive network each having a sufficient performance, even if the ruthenium content thereof is low; a composition for thick film resistor elements, which uses the ruthenium oxide powder; and a thick film resistor element. Specifically provided are: a ruthenium oxide (RuO2) powder having a rutile crystal structure, which is characterized in that the crystallite diameter of the (110) plane as determined by an X-ray diffraction method is 3-10 nm and the Ru content is 73% by mass or more; a composition for thick film resistor elements, which is obtained by blending a glass powder and conductive particles that are formed of the ruthenium oxide powder as main constituent elements; and a thick resistor element paste, which is obtained by dispersing the composition for thick film resistor elements in an organic vehicle that contains a fatty acid, and which is characterized in that the content of the fatty acid is 0.1-10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the ruthenium oxide.</p> |
