Abstract
A thick-film conductor paste and thick-film conductors formed therefrom. The conductor paste is composed of metallic particles coated with a ceramic layer that reduces leaching and solder diffusion into the conductor, thereby improving the reliability of the conductor-solder bond. The ceramic layer may be continuous or discontinuous, and may be applied to some or all of the particles of the conductor paste.
