Abstract

In the present communication, we have explored the possibility of using bismuth oxide (fritless permanent binder) in place of lead borosilicate glass in our aqueous-developable photoimageable thick film conductor formulation. We have varied the weight percentage of bismuth oxide from 0% to 10% maintaining the inorganic to organic ratio of 72:28 for formulating the pastes. We have employed physicochemical techniques such as TG/DTA, SEM/EDAX and sheet resistance measurement to arrive at optimized weight percentage of Bi2O3 yielding the desired line/space resolution, minimal line shrinkage, better adherence and expected sheet resistance.
