===Precious Metal Firing Preparations===
The firing preparations in liquid or paste form are widely used in electrical and electronic engineering and especially in the thick-film technology <xr id="tab:Liquid Silver Preparations for Firing Application (ARGONOR)"/> (Table 8.2). The precious metal filler material is mostly pure silver because of its high electrical conductivity. During firing in an oxidizing atmosphere at temperatures between 400 and 850°C a well adhering and highly conductive surface layer is formed.
When utilizing screen printing techniques any shapes of conductive patterns can be created ''<xr id="fig:Solar cell with print pattern of ARGONOR N920"/> (Fig. 8.2)'' resulting in conductive paths with good electrical properties and high temperature stability.<figure id="fig:Solar cell with print pattern of ARGONOR N920">[[File:Solar cell with print pattern of ARGONOR N920.jpg|right|thumb|Solar cell with print pattern of ARGONOR N920]]</figure>
