Abstract: Provided is a conductive paste, including a metal powder, glass frit and SiO2 dispersed in an organic vehicle in which the compounding ratio of SiO2 is in the range of 0.3 to 1.5% by weight. The conductive paste can prevent scattering of a solder plating film formed on a thick film electrode during surface mounting of a ceramic electronic part including a thick film electrode (an external electrode) which is formed by coating the ceramic electronic part with the conductive paste and baking.

Abstract: A conducting thick film composition, a thick film electrode made by sintering this composition, and a ceramic electronic component and a laminated ceramic capacitor in which this thick film electrode is used of which the electrical reliability are improved by the strength of the bond between the ceramic substrate and a thick film electrode being increased by the elimination of blistering and cracking of the electrode during sintering of the composition and the adherence of solder to the electrode being improved by the elimination of glass separation out onto the surface of the electrode during sintering. The conducting thick film composition comprises Cu powder, glass powder and an organic vehicle, the Cu powder comprises spherical powder and scaly powder and the glass powder comprises borosilicate zinc glass and borosilicate barium glass.
