NOVELTY - A paste composition (C1) comprises: a) 75-99 wt.% based on solids of a source of an electrically conductive metal; b) 0.1-10 wt.% based on solids of at least one glass component; c) 0-15 wt.% based on solids of an optional zinc-containing additive that is zinc oxide, compound that generates zinc oxide upon firing, zinc metal and/or zinc alloy; and d) an organic medium in which the components a) through c) are dispersed, where the organic medium comprises 0.01-10 wt.% based on total composition of a surfactant.    USE - As paste composition for fabricating article i.e. semiconductor device (preferably photovoltaic cell) (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The paste composition providing article i.e. photovoltaic cell is mechanically robust and also exhibits excellent electrical properties including high efficiency, high form factor, and low resistance.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A paste composition (C1) comprises: a) 75-99 wt.% based on solids of a source of an electrically conductive metal; b) 0.1-10 wt.% based on solids of at least one glass component; c) 0-15 wt.% based on solids of an optional zinc-containing additive that is zinc oxide, a compound that generates zinc oxide upon firing, zinc metal and/or zinc alloy; and d) an organic medium in which the components a) through c) are dispersed, where the organic medium comprises 0.01-10 wt.% based on total composition of a surfactant of formula (R1)(R2)(R3)(R4)N+X-.    R1-R4=alkyl, alkyl/aryl, alkyl/heteroaryl, polyethylene glycol group or oleyl amide group;    X-=halide, alkylsulfonate, alkylsulfate, alkylphosphate, alkylcarboxylate, arylcarboxylate, dodecylbenzenesulfonate, dicyanamide, bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinate, dibutyl phosphate and/or hexafluorophosphate.    Provided that at least one of R1, R2, R3, or R4 is a polyethylene glycol or oleyl amide group. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) an article (A1) comprising a substrate having a first major surface; and a deposit of the paste composition (C1) on a preselected portion of the first major surface of the substrate; and    (2) process (P1) for fabricating article involving providing a substrate having a first major surface; applying the paste composition (C1) onto a preselected portion of the first major surface, and firing the substrate and the paste composition, so that the organic medium of the paste composition is removed and an electrode is formed that has electrical contact with the substrate.
