The present invention relates to an oxide semiconductor for a thermistor that has a negative temperature coefficient of resistance and is characterized by containing manganese oxide as a main component and, in particular, containing zirconium oxide. Conventionally, the compositions of oxide semiconductors for thermistors containing zirconium oxide and manganese oxide as a main component include Mn-Zr, Co-Zr, Ni-Zr,
The Cu-Zr two-component system is well known. Also,
The four-component Mn-Ni-Cu-Zr system has already been proposed by the present inventors (Japanese Patent Application No. 1983-
No. 145840 = Special Publication No. 13285 (Sho 60-13285). The composition of the thermistor of the present invention was obtained by further examining the earlier-filed patent and found a composition range comparable to that of the earlier-filed patent.The thermistor composition of the present invention is a highly stable material with excellent high-temperature DC voltage load characteristics due to the effect of containing a small amount of zirconium oxide. It is. The thermistor composition of the present invention has a metal element as
Mn94.6~60 at%, Ni5~30 at%, Cu0.1~10
atomic%, Zr0.05 to 0.3 atomic% (however, 0.3 atomic% is not included), and the total of these is 100
It is atomic percent. Here, if the content of copper exceeds 10 atomic %, the specific resistance and the B constant are significantly lowered, and the characteristic values are likely to be out of the range required for practical use, which is not preferable. Further, if the content of Zr is less than 0.05 atomic %, no effect is shown at all, but even a trace amount of 0.05 to 0.3 atomic % shows an effect. The cause of this is currently under investigation. Hereinafter, the content of the present invention will be explained with reference to Examples. First, commercially available raw materials MnCo 3 , NiO, and ZrO 2 were blended as shown in the table below. These compounded compositions were wet mixed in a ball mill using zirconia balls as cobblestones, and after drying these slurries,
Calcinate at ℃, dry crush the calcined product, add and mix a binder, take the required amount and press-form it into a disk shape.
Many molded products were created. This molded body is placed in the air for 1000 min.
The samples were fired at ~1200°C, and electrodes containing Ag as the main component were baked on both sides of these disc-shaped sintered bodies (diameter approximately 6.5 mm, thickness 1.2 mm) to obtain ohmic contact. Regarding these samples, Measure the resistance values at 25℃ and 50℃ (R 25℃ and R 50 ℃, respectively), calculate the resistivity ρ at 25℃ from the following formula (1), and calculate the B constant from the formula (2) below. ρ 25℃=R 25 ×S/d ……(1) (S: electrode area, d: distance between electrodes) B=8.868×10 3 logR〓/R〓 ……(2) Furthermore, the resistance of each sample To consider stability,
Apply a DC 10V/mm electric field in a constant temperature bath at 150℃,
Changes in resistance over time were measured for up to 3000 hours. These results are summarized in the table below.

[Table] Samples 100, 101, 1003, 2001, and 2002 are for comparison, and have a large rate of change in resistance value over time and lack practical stability. Zr from zirconia cobbles by mixing process
The mixed amount is 0.05 at%, and if zirconia cobblestone is used with the same composition as No. 2002, ρ 25℃ = 1810Ω・cm,
The B constant was 3830°K, and the direct resistance change rate over time was -2.0%. Moreover, among these samples, samples 2003, 2005, and 2007 have extremely small resistance value change rates over time of within ±2.0% after 3000 hours, and are within the practical characteristic value range and can be used for practical use. The mechanism behind this effect of Zr addition is currently under investigation. As described above, the present invention proposes an oxide semiconductor for a thermistor that exhibits excellent characteristics, and has great industrial potential.
