摘要:
A semiconductive ceramic composition having negative resistance-temperature characteristics, wherein the composition comprises lanthanum cobalt oxide as the primary component, and, as secondary components, at least one oxide of an element selected from B, Fe and Al and at least one oxide of an element selected from Si, Zr, Hf, Ta, Sn, Sb, W, Mo, Te, Ce, Nb, Mn, Th and P. A semiconductive ceramic composition having a resistivity of approximately 10 .OMEGA..multidot.cm to 100 .OMEGA..multidot.cm at room temperature is obtained by controlling the amount of additives. Since the resistivity at room temperature can be enhanced to several times or more that of the conventional compositions while characteristics of the conventional compositions are maintained, the composition may be widely applied to control heavy current.
摘要:
A semiconductive ceramic in which the B constant is maintained at about 4000 K or more at elevated temperature to thereby decrease power consumption, and the B constant is lowered less than 4000 K at low temperature so as to avoid unnecessary increase of resistance; as well as a semiconductive ceramic element using the same. The semiconductive ceramic is formed of a lanthanum cobalt oxide, which serves as the primary component, and, as a secondary component, at least one oxide of Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ni, Cu and Zn. The semiconductive ceramic element is fabricated through use of the semiconductive ceramic and an electrode formed thereon.

摘要:
A monolithic type varistor in which a plurality of inner electrodes are arranged in a sintered body composed of semiconductor ceramics so as to be overlapped with each other while being separated by semiconductor ceramic layers. The plurality of inner electrodes are electrically connected to first and second outer electrodes formed on both end surfaces of the sintered body. One or more non-connected type inner electrodes are arranged between adjacent ones of the plurality of inner electrodes and are not electrically connected to the outer electrodes, each of the non-connected type inner electrodes being spaced apart from each adjacent inner electrode or non-connected type inner electrode while being separated therefrom by a semiconductor ceramic layer. Voltage non-linearity is obtained by Schottky barriers formed at the interface of the inner electrode and the semiconductor ceramic layer and the interface of the non-connected type inner electrode and the semiconductor ceramic layer. The value of the number of grain boundaries between semiconductor particles in at least one semiconductor ceramic layer is two or less.
