Abstract
The invention relates to glaze resistors which are used for electronic parts of hybrid integrated circuit devices, chip resistors, resistor network, etc. The glaze resistor comprises 4.0 to 70.0 wt % of a conductive component composed of a metal silicide and a metal boride and 30.0 to 96.0 wt % of glass in which a rate of said metal boride is 1.0 to 68.0 wt %. Thus, the glaze resistor can be formed by sintering in a non-oxidizing atmosphere and can provide a circuit, together with conductor pattern of base metals such as Cu.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a glaze resistor which can be formed by sintering in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. According to this glaze resistor, base metals conductor pattern such as a Cu conductor pattern, etc. and thick film resistors can be formed on the same ceramic substrate.
2. Statement of the Prior Art
In the field of thick film hybrid integrated circuit (IC), novel metals such as Ag, AgPd, AgPt, etc. are used as conductor pattern and RuO.sub.2 type is used as a resistor (e.g., "Thick Film IC Technology", edited by Japan Microelectronics Association, pages 26-34, published by Kogyo Chosakai).
Recently, demand for high density circuit and high speed digital circuit has been increasing in the field of thick film hybrid IC. However, in conventional Ag type conductor pattern, problems of migration and circuit impedance arise and, the demand cannot be sufficiently met. Thus thick film hybrid IC using a Cu conductor pattern is viewed to be promising. However, the Cu conductor pattern is oxidized by sintering in the air so that a resistor used for the Cu conductor pattern must be formed by sintering in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. Glaze resistors which meet the requirement and have practicable characteristics have not been developed yet.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a glaze resistor which can be formed by sintering not only in the air but also in a non-oxidizing atmosphere that can be coupled with a Cu conductor pattern.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
For achieving the objects of the present invention described above, the glaze resistor of the present invention comprises 4.0 to 70.0 wt% of a conductive component composed of a metal silicide and a metal boride and 30.0 to 96.0 wt% of glass in which a rate of the metal boride is 1.0 to 68.0 wt%. When the conductive component composed of the metal silicide and the metal boride is greater than 70.0 wt%, sintering properties of the resistor is deteriorated; when the conductive component is less than 4.0 wt%, no conducting path is formed on the resistor and sufficient characteristics are not obtained. Further when the metal boride exceeds 68.0 wt%, sintering properties of the resistor is deteriorated; with less than 1.0 wt%, there is no effect that is to be exhibited by adding the metal boride and sufficient properties are not obtained.
Glass which is usable in the present invention is one comprising boric oxide as the main component and having a softening point of 600 to 700.degree. C.
As the metal boride, mention may be made of tantalum boride, niobium boride, tungsten boride, molybdenum boride, chromium boride, titanium boride, zirconium boride, etc. The metal boride may also be used as admixture of two or more.
Titanium boride containing 90 wt% or more TiB.sub.2 and zirconium boride containing 90 wt% or more ZrB.sub.2 are preferred. It is more preferred to use a mixture of both.
As the metal silicide, mention may be made of tantalum silicide, tungsten silicide, molybdenum silicide, niobium silicide, titanium silicide, chromium silicide, zirconium silicide, vanadium silicide, etc.
As tantalum silicide, tungsten silicide, molybdenum silicide, niobium silicide, titanium silicide, chromium silicide, zirconium silicide and vanadium silicide, preferred are those containing 90 wt% or more TaSi.sub.2, WSi.sub.2, MoSi.sub.2, NbSi.sub.2, TiSi.sub.2, CrSi.sub.2, ZrSi.sub.2 and VSi.sub.2, respectively.
The glaze resistor in accordance with the present invention may be incorporated with at least one of Ta.sub.2 O.sub.5, Nb.sub.2 O.sub.5, V.sub.2 O.sub.5, MoO.sub.3, WO.sub.3, ZrO.sub.2,TiO.sub.2 and Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3 and low degree oxides thereof.
Further at least one of Si, Si.sub.3 N.sub.4, SiC, AlN, BN, SiO.sub.2, etc. may also be incorporated.
The glaze resistor in accordance with the present invention is applicable to a hybrid integrated circuit device.
A resistor paste is prepared from the inorganic powder having the composition described above and a vehicle obtained by dissolving a resin binder in a solvent. The resistor paste is printed onto a ceramic substrate, which is sintered at 850 to 950.degree. C. in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. Thus, a resistor having practically usable properties can be obtained. Accordingly, a thick film resistor can be formed on a ceramic substrate for forming a conductor of base metal such as Cu, etc.
