Abstract
Improved copper conductor inks useful in fabricating multilevel circuits are provided. The inks comprise copper powder, a devitrifying glass frit which does not begin to flow until the furnace temperature is above about 700.degree. C., and a suitable organic vehicle. Devitrifying glass frits with these properties include a zinc-calcium-aluminum-silicate glass frit, a zinc-magnesium-barium-aluminum-silicate glass frit, a zinc-magnesium-barium-aluminum-zirconium-phosphosilicate glass frit and mixtures thereof. The inks are advantageous in that they form copper conductor layers having excellent properties without the inclusion of traditional flux materials such as bismuth oxide.
