N-type semiconductor porcelain is used as an electronic component, such as positive characteristic semiconductor porcelain with a positive temperature coefficient of resistance, negative characteristic semiconductor porcelain with a negative temperature coefficient of resistance, or voltage nonlinear semiconductor porcelain whose resistance value changes depending on the applied voltage. It is extremely useful. In order to use such n-type semiconductor ceramics as electronic components, in order to form electrodes in the magnets, baking with silver Ag or electroless plating with nickel 1 or the like has been common. However, in n-type semiconductor porcelain, A
Baking has the disadvantage that when an electrode is formed by processing, a potential barrier layer is formed between the electrode and the semiconductor interface, and the electrical characteristics of the semiconductor ceramic itself are halved by the electrode formation. Moreover, such a potential barrier is often electrically or thermally weak, and the characteristics of soldering in particular deteriorate over time, resulting in drawbacks such as poor reliability.

As a means of eliminating the drawbacks caused by the formation of this potential barrier layer, attempts have been made to form ohmic electrodes on semiconductor ceramics. The ohmic electrode can be formed by applying an In-Ga alloy to the surface of the semiconductor porcelain, by ultrasonic brazing the In-Ga alloy, or after performing Ni electroless plating on the semiconductor porcelain.
There are known methods such as heat treatment at a temperature of 300 to 500°C, or applying a paste in which In-Ga alloy is dispersed in Ag paste to semiconductor porcelain and baking at a low temperature of 400 to 550°C. It is being

However, in the method of applying In-Ga alloy or ultrasonic brazing, the cost is high due to the use of expensive gallium Ga, and the low melting point of In-Ga alloy makes it difficult to solder the electrode. There are drawbacks such as the fact that the adhesive strength to semiconductor porcelain is extremely weak.

Next, in the method of applying and baking a paste in which In-Ga alloy is dispersed in Ag paste, baking is sometimes performed using In-Ga alloy.
There are disadvantages such as the inability to solder because the alloy is oxidized, the adhesive strength to semiconductor ceramics being weak due to low temperature baking, and the high cost due to the use of gallium Ga.

Furthermore, in the Ni electroless plating method, the electrode surface is oxidized by the heat treatment after electroless plating, resulting in poor solderability, and the formed electrode is thin and the specific resistance value of N1 is relatively large. There are disadvantages such as increased surface resistance and the semiconductor ceramic body being adversely affected by immersion in the plating solution.

The electrode formed in this way has good solderability, has high adhesion strength to the semiconductor porcelain, and is an ohmic electrode that does not have a potential barrier to the semiconductor porcelain, and has the electrical properties of the semiconductor porcelain itself. is taken out as is. Moreover, since inexpensive AI is used instead of expensive Ga, the cost is significantly lower than the conventional method using an In-Ga alloy. Furthermore, since the electrode obtained according to the present invention is baked at a temperature of 300 to 750°C,
For example, even in semiconductor porcelain, such as a positive temperature coefficient thermistor, which is used under a temperature condition of about 200° C., the characteristics do not change, unlike in the past. Furthermore, unlike the case of Ni electroless plating, the semiconductor ceramic is not immersed in the plating solution, so the semiconductor ceramic is not adversely affected in the electrode forming process. Further, since the electrodes can be formed into a paste and formed by means such as screen printing, even electrode structures having complicated shapes can be easily formed.
