Challenges of Lead-Free Low Silver Content End Termination Pastes for Inductor Applications

The silver end termination plays an important role for multilayer chip inductors. A basic requirement is to achieve excellent electrical properties with superior adhesion to the chip. Driven by the increasing price of silver, interest has been shown to lower the silver content in the pastes used for terminating chip inductors. However, when decreasing the silver content, conductivity and other properties could be compromised. The challenge is to develop a lower silver content end termination paste while maintaining comparable properties for conductivity, rheology, plateability, solderability, and adhesion.
