Resistive paste

Abstract

A resistive paste comprising (a) a mixture of a resistive material having a composition of Nb.sub.x La.sub.1-x B.sub.6-4x, wherein x is from 0.1 to 0.9 mol, and non-reducing glass frit, (b) at least one additive selected from the group consisting of B.sub.2 O.sub.3, SiO.sub.2, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, CrB, NiB, TaSi.sub.2, and Ta in an amount of from 1 to 10% by weight based on said mixture (a), and (c) an organic vehicle, and a resistive paste comprising (a) a mixture of a resistive material having a composition of Nb.sub.x La.sub.1-x B.sub.6-4x, wherein x is from 0.1 to 0.9 mol, and non-reducing glass frit, (b) AlN in an amount of from 5 to 25% by weight based on said mixture (a), and (c) an organic vehicle. The resistive pastes provide a resistor having its temperature coefficient of resistivity shifted to the plus (+) direction in a high surface resistivity range.
