本発明の低温焼成用導電性組成物(以下、「本発明の導電性組成物」とも略す。)は、導電性粒子(A)と、硬化性樹脂(B)と、金属酸化物(C)とを含有し、上記金属酸化物(C)がインジウム錫酸化物および/または酸化亜鉛であり、200℃以下の温度で焼成を行う低温焼成用の導電性組成物である。 [Conductive composition]
The conductive composition for low-temperature firing of the present invention (hereinafter also abbreviated as “conductive composition of the present invention”) includes conductive particles (A), a curable resin (B), and a metal oxide (C).

これは、詳細には明らかではないが、金属酸化物(C)が、透明導電層を形成する材料(例えば金属酸化物等)と成分が近く、電極等と透明導電層との親和性が高くなり、その結果、透明導電層との濡れ性が高まることから、基板(例えば、シリコンウエハ)表面の微細なテクスチャ(凹凸)構造の中にも金属酸化物(C)を含有する本発明の導電性組成物が入り込み易くなったためと考えられる。
このことは、後述する比較例に示すように、金属酸化物(C)を配合しない場合には、形成される電極等の接触抵抗も高くなるという事実からも推測される。 In the present invention, the conductive particles (A) are mixed with indium tin oxide and / or zinc oxide as the metal oxide (C) together with the curable resin (B), thereby reducing the low volume resistivity.

Although this is not clear in detail, the metal oxide (C) is close in composition to the material forming the transparent conductive layer (for example, metal oxide), and the affinity between the electrode and the transparent conductive layer is high. As a result, the wettability with the transparent conductive layer is increased, so that the conductive material of the present invention containing the metal oxide (C) also in the fine texture (unevenness) structure on the surface of the substrate (for example, silicon wafer). This is thought to be due to the easy entry of the composition.
This is also inferred from the fact that the contact resistance of the formed electrode and the like is increased when the metal oxide (C) is not blended, as shown in a comparative example described later.
