A metallo-organic decomposition (MOD) film is one formed by thermal decomposition of a solution containing one or more metallo-organic compounds that were deposited onto a substrate. This process yields metal, glasses, or polycrystalline ceramic films directly without passing through the powder stage. Conductor films studied include a screen printable gold and a screen printable and ink jet printable silver. Dielectric films studied include a low K lead borosilicate glass and a variety of ferroelectric compositions.
