Abstract

Abstract Resistive paste comprises at least one metal hexaboride and a vitreous binder suspended in an organic vehicle, and is characterized in that said vitreous binder is composed of a glass frit consisting essentially of 0.5 to 5.0 mol % of niobium oxide and the balance of alkaline earth metal borosilicate. The resistive paste may further contain at least one nitride selected from the group consisting of aluminum nitride and boron nitride, the content of aluminum nitride or boron nitride in the inorganic solid component composed of metal hexaboride, vitreous binder and aluminum or boron nitride in the paste being 5 to 30 wt %.
