The development of conductive pastes began in the 1950s. In 1954, British scholar C.F. Powell first reported the method of preparing conductive pastes by suspending silver particles in organic solvents, laying the technical foundation. Subsequently, in the 1960s and 1970s, with the rise of thick film hybrid integrated circuits, precious metal conductive pastes such as silver paste and gold paste g...

What Is Nanoparticle Agglomeration? A single crystal grain or amorphous sphere obtained from synthesis is called a primary particle; when several primary particles touch and bind together into a larger unit, an agglomerate is formed. Agglomerates are usually divided into two classes according to the strength of the bonding: soft agglomerates are held together mainly by weak physical interactions s...

How Does EDS Identify the Spectral Lines of Light Elements? Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) is usually fitted to a scanning or a transmission electron microscope. An incident electron ejects an inner-shell electron from a sample atom; an outer electron then drops into the vacancy, and the energy difference between the two levels is emitted as a characteristic X-ray. A silicon drift dete...
