Abstract:
1. An electronic device including a palladium-containing layer adjacent to a ceramic layer, the device comprising: a first layer including palladium adjacent to a second layer including a ceramic material and being substantially in the absence of palladium, said first layer being electrically interconnected with said second layer when said electronic device is operational in a electrical circuit; wherein, said first layer further comprising said ceramic material and said first layer having been prepared from particles including multi-phase particles having a weight average size of from about 0.1 micron to about 4 microns and with a size distribution such that greater than about 90 weight percent of said multi-phase particles are smaller than twice said weight average size, with said multi-phase particles having a first material phase including said palladium and a second material phase including said ceramic material.
