Abstract:
A plate-like polycrystalline particle is produced by forming inorganic particles into a self-supported, sheet-like shaped body with a predetermined thickness, firing the shaped body, and crushing and classifying the fired shaped body by passing through a mesh having openings with a predetermined size. The inorganic particles are composed of an oxide having a perovskite structure and grow into crystal grains with an isotropic and polyhedral shape. Since grain growth in the thickness direction is limited and grain growth in the surface direction of the sheet is promoted, it is possible to obtain crystal grains having a high aspect ratio and a high degree of orientation. Therefore, in the plate-like polycrystalline particle, in most parts, the number of crystal grains present in the thickness direction of the particle at any one point is one, and a high aspect ratio and a high degree of orientation are achieved.

To provide a semiconductor porcelain composition in which a portion of Ba of BaTiO3 is substituted by Bi-Na, which is capable of inhibiting evaporation of Bi in a calcining step, inhibiting the formation of secondary phases by preventing a compositional shift of Bi-Na, further reducing a resistivity at room temperature, and inhibiting a scattering in a Curie temperature, and a method of producing the same. By separately preparing a composition of (BaQ)TiO3 (Q is a semiconductive dopant) and a composition of (BiNa)TiO3, and calcining the composition of (BaQ)TiO3 at a comparatively high temperature and calcining the composition of (BiNa)TiO3 at a comparatively low temperature to thereby calcine the compositions at their respective optimum temperatures, evaporation of Bi in the composition of (BiNa)TiO3 can be inhibited, formation of secondary phases can be inhibited by preventing a compositional shift of Bi-Na; and by mixing, forming and sintering the calcined powders, a semiconductor porcelain composition having a small resistivity at room temperature and being inhibited from a scattering in the Curie temperature can be provided.
