Abstract

A conductive paste including a conductive powder, a glass frit, and an organic vehicle, wherein the conductive powder includes copper and/or nickel as a main component(s), and the glass frit is substantially free of Pb, Cd, and Bi, comprises 40 to 65% by mass of BaO, 15 to 23% by mass of B2O3, 2 to 12% by mass of Al2O3, 4 to 8% by mass of SiO2, 0 to 5% by mass of ZnO, 0.5 to 7% by mass of TiO2, 3 to 7.5% by mass of CaO, and comprises any one or more of MnO2, CuO, and CoO in the ranges of 0 to 7% by mass of MnO2, 0 to 16% by mass of CuO, and 0 to 5% by mass of CoO, in terms of oxide.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A conductive paste comprising a conductive powder, a glass frit, and an organic vehicle, wherein
the conductive powder comprises at least one of copper and nickel, wherein a total content of copper and nickel in the conductive powder exceeds 50% by mass, and
the glass frit contains 1000 ppm or less of each of Pb, Cd, and Bi in terms of oxide, and comprises 40 to 65% by mass of BaO, 15 to 23% by mass of B 2 O 3 , 2 to 12% by mass of Al 2 O 3 , 4 to 8% by mass of SiO 2 , 0 to 5% by mass of ZnO, 0.5 to 7% by mass of TiO 2 , 3 to 7.5% by mass of CaO, and 6 to 13% by mass of CuO.

2. The conductive paste according to claim 1 , wherein the glass frit further comprises any one or more of MnO 2 and CoO in the ranges of 0.5 to 5% by mass of MnO 2 and 0.5 to 4% by mass of CoO.

3. The conductive paste according to claim 1 , wherein the glass frit further comprises any one or more of Li 2 O, Ga 2 O 3 , NiO, CeO 2 , La 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , and V 2 O 5 in the ranges of 1% by mass or less of Li 2 O, 7% by mass or less of Ga 2 O 3 , 1% by mass or less of NiO, 0 to 2% by mass of CeO 2 , 3% by mass or less of La 2 O 3 , 1% by mass or less of Fe 2 O 3 , and 1.5% by mass or less of V 2 O 5 , in terms of oxide.

4. The conductive paste according to claim 1 , being for forming terminal electrodes of a multilayer ceramic component.

5. The conductive paste according to claim 1 , further comprising any one or more of MnO 2 and CoO in the ranges of 7% by mass or less of MnO 2 and 5% by mass or less of CoO.
