Abstract :
In an attempt to understand the silver-glass interactions at the electrode/resistor terminations in hybrid integrated circuits, the behavior of silver in binary 75PbO-25SiO2 glass containing up to 20 wt.% RuO2 particles was studied between 650 and 850°. It is shown that the dissolution of silver into glass increases with increasing amount of RuO2 particles. A different temperature dependence of dissolution was observed for RuO2-free and RuO2-doped glasses. Silver-ion-RuO 2 interactions have been proposed as a possible mechanism responsible for the increased dissolution of silver in the glass
