Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A conductive paste for forming solar cell electrodes that obtains favorable electrical characteristics and sufficient adhesion strength to a substrate. The conductive paste for forming a solar cell electrode includes the following: a tellurium-based glass frit containing 30-70 mol % of tellurium, 15-40 mol % of tungsten, 5-30 mol % of zinc, 0-20 mol % of boron, and 0-10 mol % of zirconium (where a total content of boron and zirconium is greater than 0 mol %) in terms of oxides; a conductive powder having silver as a main component and specific surface area of 0.4 m 2 /g or more; and an organic vehicle.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A conductive paste for forming a solar cell electrode, said conductive paste comprising a tellurium-based glass frit containing, in terms of oxide, 40-60 mol % of tellurium, 20-30 mol % of tungsten, 7-20 mol % of zinc, 5-10 mol % of boron and 1-5 mol % of zirconium, a conductive powder having silver as a main component and a specific surface area of at least 0.4 m 2 /g and an organic vehicle, wherein 0.1-10 mass parts of the tellurium-based glass frit is contained in the conductive paste with respect to 100 mass parts of the conductive powder. 2. The conductive paste for forming the solar cell electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the specific surface area of the conductive powder is no more than 1.0 m 2 /g.
