Gurnett %J Gold Bulletin %@ 2190-7579 %D 1977 %I Springer %R 10.1007/BF03215436 %X Conventional thick film conductors rely for their adhesion on the formation of a glassy layer which keys them both chemically and mechanically to the substrate surface. A newer type of conductor contains no glass frit but is reactively-bonded to the substrate, resulting in different properties which may be advantageous for certain applications. This article is based upon a contribution presented to the International Hybrid Microelectronics Society¡¯s European Conference held at Bad Homburg, West Germany, in May. %U http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF03215436
