Preferred Components: The electrically conductive metal comprises silver and 90-95 wt.% of the solids. The lead-tellurium-oxide further comprises one or more elements comprising silicon, tin, lithium, titanium, silver, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, germanium, gallium, indium, nickel, zinc, calcium, magnesium, strontium, barium, selenium, molybdenum, tungsten, yttrium, arsenic, lanthanum, neodymium, cobalt, praseodymium, gadolinium, samarium, dysprosium, europium, holmium, ytterbium, lutetium, bismuth, tantalum, vanadium, iron, hafnium, chromium, cadmium, antimony, bismuth fluoride, zirconium, manganese, phosphorus, copper, cerium or niobium. The lead-tellurium-oxide is at least partially crystalline. Preferred Method: The thick-film paste composition is applied pattern-wise onto the insulating film. The firing step is carried out in air or an oxygen-containing atmosphere.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The organic medium further comprises one or more additives comprising solvents, stabilizers, surfactants and thickeners.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Components: The organic medium comprises a polymer. EXAMPLE - Organic components (comprising 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate (5.57 wt.%), ethyl cellulose (50-52% ethoxyl) (0.14 wt.%), ethyl cellulose (48-50% ethoxyl) (0.04 wt.%), N-tallow-1,3-diaminopropane dioleate (1 wt.%), hydrogenated castor oil (0.50 wt.%), pentaerythritol tetraester of perhydroabietic acid (1.25 wt.%), dimethyl adipate (3.15 wt.%), and dimethyl glutarate (0.35 wt.%)) were added into a mixing jar and thinky-mixed at 2000 revolutions per minute (rpm) for 2-4 minutes until well-blended. The inorganic components such as lead-tellurium-oxide powders and silver conductive powders were tumble mixed in a glass jar for 15 minutes. The total weight of the inorganic components was 88 g, of which 85-87 g was silver powder and 1-3 g was the mixture of lead(II) oxide and tellurium dioxide powders. One third of inorganic components were then added to the thinky jar containing the organic components and mixed for 1 minute at 2000 rpm, and the process was repeated until all of the inorganic components were added and mixed to obtain a paste composition, which was cooled and the viscosity was adjusted to 200-500 Pa-s by adding solvent and then mixed for 1 minute at 200 rpm.
