The present invention is directed to an electroconductive thick film
composition comprising: (a) electroconductive metal particles selected
from (1) Al, Cu, Au, Ag, Pd and Pt; (2) alloy of Al, Cu, Au, Ag, Pd and
Pt; and (3) mixtures thereof; (3) glass frit wherein said glass frit is
Pb-free; dispersed in (d) an organic medium, and wherein the average
diameter of said electroconductive metal particles is in the range of
0.5-10.0 .mu.m. The present invention is further directed to an electrode
formed from the composition as detailed above and a semiconductor
device(s) (for example, a solar cell) comprising said electrode.
