Description

本発明は、導電性ペースト、特に高周波共振器、集積回路、ハイブリッド回路などを構成する回路基板に採用されるセラミック多層基板に用いられる導電性ペーストに関する。   The present invention relates to a conductive paste, and more particularly to a conductive paste used for a ceramic multilayer substrate employed in a circuit substrate constituting a high frequency resonator, an integrated circuit, a hybrid circuit, or the like.

電子部品の小型化、高性能化が進むに伴って、回路基板には高密度化、低誘電率化、低熱膨張率化等が要求され、ガラスセラミックスグリーンシート上に導電性ペーストを印刷し、これを積み重ねて焼成されるセラミック多層基板が回路基板として使用されるようになってきた。   As electronic components become smaller and higher in performance, circuit boards are required to have higher density, lower dielectric constant, lower thermal expansion coefficient, etc., and conductive paste is printed on glass ceramic green sheets. Ceramic multilayer substrates that are stacked and fired have been used as circuit boards.

ガラスセラミックスグリーンシートは、アルミナ、ムライト、コーディライト、ジルコン、フォルステライト、ジルコニア、石英などのセラミックフィラーと、軟化点が500〜800℃程度の、アルミノ硼珪酸をベースに酸化鉛、アルカリ土類金属酸化物、アルカリ金属酸化物、酸化亜鉛等を含有したガラス粉とからなる組成物であり、ガラス粉末とセラミックス粉体を有機バインダと共に混練してスラリーを作り、これをドクターブレード法等によってシート状にされている。   Glass ceramics green sheets are lead oxides and alkaline earth metals based on ceramic fillers such as alumina, mullite, cordierite, zircon, forsterite, zirconia, quartz, and aluminoborosilicate with a softening point of about 500-800 ° C. It is a composition consisting of glass powder containing oxide, alkali metal oxide, zinc oxide, etc., and glass powder and ceramic powder are kneaded with an organic binder to make a slurry, which is formed into a sheet by doctor blade method etc. Has been.

ガラスセラミックスグリーンシートは、これを焼成すると、10〜20%収縮し、一方ガラスセラミックスグリーンシート上に塗布された導電性ペーストも収縮するので、ガラスセラミックスグリーンシートと導電性ペーストの両者の熱収縮率に差があると、互いに収縮を拘束することになり収縮応力による歪みが生じ、焼成して得られたセラミック多層基板に反りや変形を与えることになる。   When the glass ceramic green sheet is fired, it shrinks by 10 to 20%, while the conductive paste applied on the glass ceramic green sheet also shrinks, so the thermal shrinkage rate of both the glass ceramic green sheet and the conductive paste. If there is a difference, the shrinkage is restrained and distortion due to the shrinkage stress is generated, which warps or deforms the ceramic multilayer substrate obtained by firing.

このセラミック多層基板の反りや変形をなくすために、例えば、銀粉体のペーストにガラスセラミック材料を加えたり、粒子径の異なる2種以上の銀粉体を混合して用いる方法〔特許文献1参照〕、導電性ペースト中の銀系粉末の比表面積を特定範囲にして、かつ特定の有機樹脂及び有機溶剤を加えて導電性ペーストの熱収縮をグリーンシートの収縮に合わせる方法〔特許文献2参照〕など焼結に伴うガラスセラミックス基板材料と金属導体の収縮率の差を小さくする方法が提案された。   In order to eliminate warpage and deformation of the ceramic multilayer substrate, for example, a method of adding a glass ceramic material to a paste of silver powder or using a mixture of two or more kinds of silver powders having different particle diameters [see Patent Document 1 ], A method in which the specific surface area of the silver-based powder in the conductive paste is within a specific range, and a specific organic resin and an organic solvent are added to adjust the thermal shrinkage of the conductive paste to the shrinkage of the green sheet [see Patent Document 2] A method has been proposed for reducing the difference in shrinkage between the glass ceramic substrate material and the metal conductor during sintering.

また、導電性ペーストとグリーンシートの粒径を変化させて導電性ペーストの収縮終了温度をグリーンシートの収縮終了温度より高くする方法〔特許文献3参照〕、導電性ペーストに用いる銀などの導電性粉末の表面に、予めAl、ZrO、TiO、BaO、CaOなどの高融点金属酸化物皮膜を形成させておいて、焼成時における導電性ペースト収縮開始温度をセラミック成形体の収縮終了温度より高くする方法〔特許文献4参照〕、高い結晶性の銀を導電性材料に用いて焼成時に起きる銀の収縮開始を遅らせて基板材料との燒結挙動を一致させる方法〔特許文献5参照〕など導電性ペーストとグリーンシートの収縮タイミングをずらして反りや変形を少なくする提案がある。 In addition, a method of changing the particle size of the conductive paste and the green sheet to make the shrinkage end temperature of the conductive paste higher than the shrinkage end temperature of the green sheet (see Patent Document 3), conductivity such as silver used for the conductive paste A refractory metal oxide film such as Al 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 , TiO 2 , BaO, and CaO is formed on the surface of the powder in advance, and the conductive paste shrinkage start temperature during firing is reduced by the shrinkage of the ceramic compact. A method of making the temperature higher than the end temperature (see Patent Document 4), a method of using highly crystalline silver as a conductive material, delaying the onset of shrinkage of silver that occurs during firing, and matching the sintering behavior with the substrate material (see Patent Document 5) There is a proposal to reduce warpage and deformation by shifting the contraction timing of the conductive paste and the green sheet.

その他、パラジウム含有率により導体膜のガラスセラミックス基板に対する密着強度が変ることに着目して導電性金属粉体にパラジウム、さらに酸化ビスマスと酸化銅を少量添加する方法〔特許文献6参照〕によりガラスセラミックスグリーンシートと導電性ペーストとの間の密着強度を弱めて熱収縮率の差を緩和する提案、さらに、焼成工程においてシートの収縮を実質的に生じさせないようにする、いわゆる無収縮プロセス〔特許文献7参照〕の提案もある。   In addition, focusing on the fact that the adhesion strength of the conductor film to the glass-ceramic substrate changes depending on the palladium content, glass ceramics is obtained by adding a small amount of palladium, bismuth oxide and copper oxide to the conductive metal powder [see Patent Document 6]. Proposal to reduce the difference in thermal shrinkage by weakening the adhesion strength between the green sheet and the conductive paste, and the so-called non-shrink process that prevents the sheet from shrinking substantially in the firing step [Patent Document 7)] is also proposed.

上記のようにセラミック多層基板の反りや変形をなくすための導電性ペーストの改質は、導電性粉末そのものを変える方法と、添加剤を加える方法に大別されるが、導電性粉末そのものを変える方法は実施に多くのコストが必要であり、添加剤を加える方法は簡単に実施できるが導電性が損なわれることがある。   As described above, the modification of the conductive paste to eliminate warping and deformation of the ceramic multilayer substrate is roughly divided into a method of changing the conductive powder itself and a method of adding an additive, but the conductive powder itself is changed. The method is costly to implement and the method of adding additives is simple to implement, but conductivity may be compromised.

上記問題点を改善すべく本発明の目的は、導電性を損うことなく、ガラスセラミックスグリーンシートに印刷して焼成したときセラミック多層基板に生じる反りや変形が少ない導電性ペーストを提供することにある。   An object of the present invention to improve the above problems is to provide a conductive paste that is less warped and deformed in a ceramic multilayer substrate when printed on a glass ceramic green sheet and fired without impairing conductivity. is there.

かかる課題を解決すべく、請求項1の発明は導電性ペーストであり、ガラスと酸化物系セラミックスを主体としたグリーンシート上にパターンを形成するように塗布される銀を主成分とする導電性金属粉体を含む導電性ペーストであり、バリウム化合物とカルシウム化合物を組み合わせて添加されている。   In order to solve this problem, the invention of claim 1 is a conductive paste, which is a conductive material mainly composed of silver applied so as to form a pattern on a green sheet mainly composed of glass and oxide ceramics. A conductive paste containing metal powder, which is added in combination of a barium compound and a calcium compound.

請求項2の発明は請求項1記載の導電性ペーストであり、前記バリウム化合物は、バリウムの脂肪酸塩、酸化物、炭酸塩、水酸化物から選ばれる一種以上であり、前記カルシウム化合物は、カルシウムの脂肪酸塩、酸化物、炭酸塩、水酸化物から選ばれる一種以上である。   Invention of Claim 2 is the electrically conductive paste of Claim 1, and the said barium compound is 1 or more types chosen from the fatty-acid salt, oxide, carbonate, and hydroxide of barium, The said calcium compound is calcium. It is at least one selected from fatty acid salts, oxides, carbonates and hydroxides.

請求項3の発明は請求項1または2記載の導電性ペーストであり、前記バリウム化合物は、導電性金属粉体に対しバリウム金属を基準にして0.03〜2重量%、前記カルシウム化合物は、導電性金属粉体に対しカルシウム金属を基準にして0.03〜0.5重量%である。   Invention of Claim 3 is the electroconductive paste of Claim 1 or 2, The said barium compound is 0.03 to 2 weight% on the basis of barium metal with respect to electroconductive metal powder, The said calcium compound is It is 0.03-0.5 weight% on the basis of calcium metal with respect to electroconductive metal powder.

本発明の導電性ペーストは、導電性は良好であり、これをガラスセラミックスグリーンシートに印刷して焼成したときセラミック多層基板に反りや変形を少なくすることができ、製品歩留まり率を高くし、低下配線の不良、断線などをなくすことができ、信頼性を高めることができる。   The conductive paste of the present invention has good conductivity, and when this is printed on a glass ceramic green sheet and fired, the ceramic multilayer substrate can be less warped and deformed, and the product yield rate is increased and lowered. Wiring defects and disconnections can be eliminated, and reliability can be improved.

導電性ペーストは、グリーンシートと呼ばれる焼成前のガラスセラミックスシートに所定のパターンで印刷し、これを積層し、焼成してセラミック多層基板とする。   The conductive paste is printed in a predetermined pattern on a glass ceramic sheet before firing called a green sheet, laminated and fired to obtain a ceramic multilayer substrate.

ガラスセラミックスグリーンシートは、800〜1000℃程度の低温で焼成できるので、導電性ペーストに銀を用いることができる利点がある。最近では、ガラスセラミックスグリーンシートの改良が多く提案されているが、本発明導電性ペーストは、ガラスとセラミックスとからなり、800〜1000℃程度の低温で焼成できるガラスセラミックスグリーンシートで、その表面に導電性ペーストによるパターンを形成させて焼成してセラミック多層基板とすることができるものであればよい。   Since the glass ceramic green sheet can be fired at a low temperature of about 800 to 1000 ° C., there is an advantage that silver can be used for the conductive paste. Recently, many improvements of glass ceramic green sheets have been proposed, but the conductive paste of the present invention is made of glass and ceramics, and is a glass ceramic green sheet that can be fired at a low temperature of about 800 to 1000 ° C. Any material can be used as long as it can be formed into a pattern with a conductive paste and fired to form a ceramic multilayer substrate.

本発明の導電性ペーストは、導電性金属粉体、添加剤、有機ビヒクル、溶剤、必要により界面活性剤、分散剤を加えて混練して製造され、さらにガラス粉体を混合することがあり、本発明は広くガラス粉体を混合した導電性ペーストも包含している。   The conductive paste of the present invention is produced by kneading a conductive metal powder, an additive, an organic vehicle, a solvent, and optionally adding a surfactant and a dispersant, and further mixing glass powder. The present invention broadly includes a conductive paste mixed with glass powder.

導電性金属粉体は、粒径5μm以下、代表的には1〜4μmの銀粉体を主成分としており、セラミック多層基板の使用目的により一部白金、金などを混合することもある。   The conductive metal powder is mainly composed of silver powder having a particle size of 5 μm or less, typically 1 to 4 μm, and may be partially mixed with platinum, gold, etc. depending on the intended use of the ceramic multilayer substrate.

添加剤は、本発明が目的とする焼成後のセラミック多層基板に反りや変形を少なくする機能を有し、バリウム化合物とカルシウム化合物を組合せて用いる。ここで、バリウム化合物とカルシウム化合物は、導電性ペーストとしてガラスセラミックスグリーンシートに印刷した後で焼成する温度、すなわち空気中800〜1000℃で酸化物となっているものであればよく、酸化物、あるいはこれより低い温度で酸化物になる化合物、例えば、ナフテン酸塩、オクタン酸塩、ステアリン酸塩などの脂肪酸塩、水酸化物、炭酸塩、硫酸塩などである。具体的には、バリウム化合物として、酸化バリウムの他、ナフテン酸バリウム、オクタン酸バリウム、ステアリン酸バリウム、炭酸バリウム、水酸化バリウムであり、カルシウム化合物として酸化カルシウムの他、ナフテン酸カルシウム、オクタン酸カルシウム、ステアリン酸カルシウム、炭酸カルシウム、水酸化カルシウムである。本発明では、バリウム化合物とカルシウム化合物について、それぞれ任意に一種以上が選ばれる。   The additive has a function of reducing warpage and deformation in the fired ceramic multilayer substrate targeted by the present invention, and is used in combination of a barium compound and a calcium compound. Here, the barium compound and the calcium compound may be any oxide as long as it is an oxide at a temperature of 800 to 1000 ° C. in air, after being printed on a glass ceramic green sheet as a conductive paste. Alternatively, a compound that becomes an oxide at a lower temperature, for example, a fatty acid salt such as naphthenate, octanoate, stearate, hydroxide, carbonate, sulfate or the like. Specifically, barium compounds include barium oxide, barium naphthenate, barium octoate, barium stearate, barium carbonate, and barium hydroxide, and calcium compounds as well as calcium oxide, calcium naphthenate, and calcium octoate. , Calcium stearate, calcium carbonate, calcium hydroxide. In this invention, 1 or more types are each arbitrarily selected about a barium compound and a calcium compound.

本発明のバリウム化合物とカルシウム化合物は、導電性ペーストの収縮開始温度を高くしてグリーンシートの収縮に近付け、かつ導電性ペーストとグリーンシートとの密着強度を適度に保つ作用がある。バリウム化合物は収縮開始温度を高くする効果が大きいが、密着強度を弱くすることがあり、従ってバリウム化合物を多くすると、反りを少なくする上では有利であるが密着強度の上では満足できなくなる。一方、カルシウム化合物は、バリウム化合物に比較して導電性ペーストの収縮開始温度を高くする効果は少ないが、導電性ペーストのグリーンシートとの密着強度を高める効果がある。本発明は、バリウム化合物とカルシウム化合物を組合せることで、密着強度をある程度維持しつつ、焼成後のセラミック多層基板に与える反りや変形を少なくすることにその特徴がある。   The barium compound and calcium compound of the present invention have an effect of increasing the shrinkage start temperature of the conductive paste to approach the shrinkage of the green sheet, and appropriately maintaining the adhesion strength between the conductive paste and the green sheet. Although the barium compound has a large effect of increasing the shrinkage start temperature, it may weaken the adhesion strength. Therefore, increasing the barium compound is advantageous in reducing warpage, but is not satisfactory in terms of adhesion strength. On the other hand, the calcium compound is less effective in increasing the shrinkage start temperature of the conductive paste than the barium compound, but has the effect of increasing the adhesion strength of the conductive paste with the green sheet. The present invention is characterized in that by combining a barium compound and a calcium compound, warping and deformation applied to the fired ceramic multilayer substrate are reduced while maintaining the adhesion strength to some extent.

バリウム化合物とカルシウム化合物は、金属粉体の量に合わせて加えられ、バリウム化合物は、金属粉体に対しバリウム金属を基準にして0.03〜2重量%、好ましくは0.05〜1重量%、カルシウム化合物は、金属粉体に対しカルシウム金属を基準にして0.03〜0.5重量%、好ましくは0.05〜0.2重量%である。バリウム化合物とカルシウム化合物におけるこの適正範囲は、焼成後のセラミック多層基板における反りや変形の面から選ばれたものであり、この範囲より少ないと添加剤としての効果が小さく反りや変形が大きくなり、またこの範囲を超えると極端に悪くなることがないが、反りや変形にそれ以上の効果がみられないことが多い。   The barium compound and the calcium compound are added according to the amount of the metal powder, and the barium compound is 0.03 to 2% by weight, preferably 0.05 to 1% by weight, based on the barium metal with respect to the metal powder. The calcium compound is 0.03 to 0.5% by weight, preferably 0.05 to 0.2% by weight, based on calcium metal with respect to the metal powder. This appropriate range in the barium compound and calcium compound is selected from the aspect of warping and deformation in the fired ceramic multilayer substrate, and if it is less than this range, the effect as an additive is small and warping and deformation are large, Moreover, although it does not become extremely worse if it exceeds this range, there is often no further effect on warpage or deformation.

上述したように、本発明のバリウム化合物、カルシウム化合物は、酸化物以外のものを用いたときには、グリーンシートの焼結が始まる温度より低い温度で分解が始まり、焼結が始まる温度では、実質的にそれぞれの酸化物となっている。従って、焼結温度では、ガラスセラミックスグリーンシート中のガラス成分は溶融し、その中に導電性ペースト中の酸化バリウム、酸化カルシウムが一部溶解していくことで界面で一部両者が一体化される。   As described above, when a barium compound or calcium compound of the present invention is used other than an oxide, decomposition begins at a temperature lower than the temperature at which the green sheet starts to be sintered, Each of these is an oxide. Therefore, at the sintering temperature, the glass component in the glass ceramic green sheet is melted, and barium oxide and calcium oxide in the conductive paste are partially dissolved therein, so that both are partially integrated at the interface. The

ガラスセラミックスグリーンシート上に印刷された導電性ペーストは、ガラスセラミックスグリーンシートに対して密着強度が強過ぎると、高温になったとき反りや変形となり易く、密着強度が弱過ぎると、反りや変形にはなり難いが多層基板上の導電性パターンとして不満足である。従って、ガラスセラミックスグリーンシートと導電性ペーストとの界面の密着強度を、ある程度緩和することが必要である。   The conductive paste printed on the glass ceramic green sheet is likely to warp or deform when the adhesive strength is too high for the glass ceramic green sheet, and warp or deform when the adhesive strength is too weak. Although it is difficult to peel, it is unsatisfactory as a conductive pattern on a multilayer substrate. Therefore, it is necessary to moderate the adhesion strength at the interface between the glass ceramic green sheet and the conductive paste to some extent.

本発明のガラスセラミックスグリーンシートと導電性ペーストの界面は、一部一体化されることで互いの熱収縮が近づくとともに、界面に作用する密着強度が緩和されるように機能し、反りや変形が少ないセラミック多層基板となる。   The interface between the glass ceramic green sheet of the present invention and the conductive paste is partly integrated so that the thermal contraction of each other approaches and the adhesion strength acting on the interface is relaxed, and warping and deformation are prevented. Fewer ceramic multilayer substrates.

有機ビヒクルは、導電性ペーストに適度の粘性を与えて印刷パターンを安定化させる働きがあり、本発明でその種類を限定するものではないが、例えばセルロース類、アクリル類、ポリビニルアルコール類などが使用される。   The organic vehicle has the function of stabilizing the printing pattern by imparting an appropriate viscosity to the conductive paste, and the type is not limited in the present invention. For example, celluloses, acrylics, polyvinyl alcohols, etc. are used. Is done.

溶剤は、導電性ペーストを用いる有機ビヒクルとの関連で決められるもので、本発明でその種類を限定するものではないが、アルコール系溶剤、エステル系溶剤、ケトン系溶剤、エーテル系溶剤、炭化水素系溶剤などが任意に選ばれる。   The solvent is determined in relation to the organic vehicle using the conductive paste, and the type of the solvent is not limited in the present invention, but the alcohol solvent, ester solvent, ketone solvent, ether solvent, hydrocarbon A system solvent or the like is arbitrarily selected.

導電性ペーストにおける各成分の構成比は、代表的には導電性金属粉体は70〜90重量%、好ましくは80〜85重量%であり、有機ビヒクルは1〜5重量%、好ましくは3〜5重量%であり、溶剤は5〜30重量%、好ましくは10〜15重量%であり、その他界面活性剤、分散剤が1重量%以下である。添加剤であるバリウム化合物とカルシウム化合物は、上述したように金属粉体の量に合わせて加えられる。これらの成分は、ロールミルなど公知の方法によりよく混練されて、導電性ペーストとなる。   The constituent ratio of each component in the conductive paste is typically 70 to 90% by weight, preferably 80 to 85% by weight for the conductive metal powder, and 1 to 5% by weight, preferably 3 to 3% for the organic vehicle. 5 wt%, the solvent is 5 to 30 wt%, preferably 10 to 15 wt%, and other surfactants and dispersants are 1 wt% or less. As described above, the barium compound and calcium compound, which are additives, are added according to the amount of the metal powder. These components are well kneaded by a known method such as a roll mill to form a conductive paste.

セラミック多層基板は、厚さ100〜200μmのガラスセラミックスグリーンシート上に、導電性ペーストを厚さ20〜40μmで所定のパターンに印刷し、さらにパターン印刷したグリーンシートを所定の手続により積重ねて、これを焼成して製造される。   The ceramic multilayer substrate is formed by printing a conductive paste in a predetermined pattern with a thickness of 20 to 40 μm on a glass ceramic green sheet with a thickness of 100 to 200 μm, and further stacking the green sheets with pattern printing by a predetermined procedure. Is manufactured by firing.

焼成温度は、ガラスセラミックスグリーンシートの組成により異なるが、銀の融点が961℃であるので、銀が溶融しない温度にて行う必要があり、通常850〜950℃、好ましくは880〜920℃である。焼成時間は、4〜24時間で任意に選ばれる。このように低温焼成基板では、銀粉体で構成されるペーストを使い、焼成が空気中でも行うことができるため、アルミナ基板と比較して低コストで製造することができる。さらに、ガラスとセラミックスの混合材料は、アルミナ基板よりも誘電率が低く、回路における信号遅延時間を低減できる特性があるため、電気的特性の向上も図れる特徴がある。   Although the firing temperature varies depending on the composition of the glass ceramic green sheet, since the melting point of silver is 961 ° C., it is necessary to carry out at a temperature at which silver does not melt, and is usually 850 to 950 ° C., preferably 880 to 920 ° C. . The firing time is arbitrarily selected from 4 to 24 hours. Thus, the low-temperature fired substrate can be manufactured at a lower cost than the alumina substrate because the paste composed of silver powder can be used and firing can be performed in the air. Furthermore, the mixed material of glass and ceramic has a characteristic that the dielectric constant is lower than that of an alumina substrate and the signal delay time in the circuit can be reduced, so that the electrical characteristics can be improved.

実施例に示した焼成温度に対する収縮率を示す図1で分るように、銀粉体を含む導電性ペーストにバリウム化合物、カルシウム化合物を含む添加剤を加えることにより、収縮率をガラスセラミックスグリーンシートの収縮率に近付けることができる。しかしそれでも尚ガラスセラミックスグリーンシートとは差があり、この差があるに拘らず焼成後に反りが少ないのは導電性ペーストとグリーンシートとの界面の相互作用により密着強度が緩和された為と推定される。   As shown in FIG. 1 showing the shrinkage ratio with respect to the firing temperature shown in the examples, the shrinkage ratio can be reduced by adding an additive containing a barium compound and a calcium compound to a conductive paste containing silver powder. The shrinkage rate can be approached. However, there is still a difference from the glass ceramic green sheet. Despite this difference, the reason why there is little warpage after firing is presumed that the adhesion strength has been relaxed due to the interaction between the conductive paste and the green sheet.

From this result, it was confirmed that by adding a combination of a barium compound and a calcium compound to the conductive paste, the warp amount (mm) is small and the adhesion strength (N) can be satisfied.

2)ガラスセラミックスグリーンシート、銀粉体を含む導電性ペースト、および銀粉体に本発明の添加剤を含む導電性ペーストそれぞれについて焼成温度に対する収縮率を図1に示した。   2) The shrinkage ratio with respect to the firing temperature for each of the glass ceramic green sheet, the conductive paste containing silver powder, and the conductive paste containing the additive of the present invention in silver powder is shown in FIG.

この結果から、ガラスセラミックスグリーンシートは800℃から急速に収縮を始め、焼成終了時には最大20%の収縮カーブを描く。一方、銀粉体の導電性ペーストは、400℃から徐々に収縮が進行している。銀粉体を含む導電性ペーストに添加剤を加えると、熱収縮の始まりが620℃と上り、そこから収縮が進行していく。このように、銀粉体の導電性ペーストにバリウム化合物とカルシウム化合物を組合せた添加剤を加えることによりガラスセラミックスグリーンシートの収縮曲線に近付けることができることがわかる。   From this result, the glass ceramic green sheet starts to shrink rapidly from 800 ° C., and draws a shrinkage curve of a maximum of 20% at the end of firing. On the other hand, the silver powder conductive paste gradually contracts from 400 ° C. When an additive is added to the conductive paste containing silver powder, the beginning of heat shrinkage rises to 620 ° C., and shrinkage proceeds from there. Thus, it can be seen that the shrinkage curve of the glass ceramic green sheet can be approximated by adding an additive that combines a barium compound and a calcium compound to the conductive paste of silver powder.

本発明の導電性ペーストにより反りや変形が少ないセラミック多層基板が得られ、外部導体膜のパターンや位置と高い精度で接続することができて回路基板としての信頼性を高め、回路の微細化が可能になる。   The conductive paste of the present invention provides a ceramic multilayer substrate with less warping and deformation, and can be connected to the pattern and position of the outer conductor film with high accuracy, improving the reliability as a circuit substrate and miniaturizing the circuit. It becomes possible.

ガラスセラミックスグリーンシート、銀粉体を含む導電性ペースト、および銀粉体に本発明の添加剤を加えた導電性ペーストそれぞれについて、焼成温度に対する収縮率を示している。Each of the glass ceramic green sheet, the conductive paste containing silver powder, and the conductive paste obtained by adding the additive of the present invention to silver powder shows the shrinkage ratio with respect to the firing temperature.
