The present invention is directed to a thick film composition for use in
low temperature co-fired ceramic circuits comprising, based on weight
percent total thick film composition: (a) 30-98 weight percent finely
divided particles selected from noble metals, alloys of noble metals and
mixtures thereof; (b) one or more selected inorganic binders and/or
mixtures thereof, and dispersed in (c) organic medium, and wherein said
glass compositions are immiscible or partially miscible with remnant
glasses present in the low temperature co-fired ceramic substrate glasses
at the firing conditions.The present invention is further directed to
methods of forming multilayer circuits utilizing the above composition
and the use of the composition in high frequency applications (including
microwave applications).
