Description

The material of overvoltage protection element and manufacture method thereof
The present invention relates to a kind of material and manufacture method thereof of overvoltage protection element.
The material of existing zinc oxide varistor and structure thereof, constituted with oxides such as zinc oxide and B, Bi, Ba, Si, Sr, Pb, Pr, Co, Mn, Sb or Cr or its composite material, bismuth oxides etc. are to form a grain boundary layer between the particle of zinc oxide, the structural requirement of this kind material is that density of material is made into structure near solid density, generally be at more than 90% of theoretical density, be a kind of commercial product, but this kind element have the shortcoming of high capacity.Grain boundary layer is similar a kind of capacitor in electrical performance, and therefore the made rheostat of this material has higher capacitance, is not suitable in the high-frequency circuit, and this is the rheostatic great shortcoming of this kind.The material of overvoltage protection element of the present invention is a cellular structure, if therefore use identical materials to form and the components identical structure, also because of the genus polyporus material structure, and has lower capacitance and leakage current, therefore can be applicable in the high-frequency circuit.
The breakdown voltage of zinc oxide resistance device is relevant with two interelectrode zinc oxide grains, the rheostatic microstructure of conventional oxidation zinc as shown in Figure 1, there is one deck grain boundary layer between zinc oxide grain, this grain boundary layer is oxides such as bismuth oxide, is commonly referred to as rich bismuth district, the interval P-N interface that forms of zinc oxide and rich bismuth, if end to end from electrode, represent zinc oxide semi-conductor with N, represent rich bismuth district with P, therefore rheostatic P-N structure can be expressed as
E-P-N-P-N-……-N-P-N-P-E
Wherein, E is a conductor electrode, and all there is a breakdown voltage Vb1 in each P-N interface, supposes always to co-exist between electrode X P-N interface, and breakdown voltage Vb can be described as Vb=∑ Vb1.
The material of the overvoltage protection element of delivering in the past; once at US Pat.4; 726; 991 have delivered a kind of material; its material structure is semiconductor or the semiconductor powder layer insulating that is covered; this insulating barrier is less than the thickness of hundreds of dusts (angstroms); there are some shortcomings in this kind material structure in practicality, at first, the thickness of insulating barrier is only within hundreds of dusts; the degree of difficulty of the manufacturing process of this thickness is high; when the thickness of insulating layer of lining when too thin, easily cause the short circuit of element, when thickness of insulating layer thick slightly; but can improve breakdown voltage, this is to use insulating barrier to be coated on the shortcoming on conductor or semiconductor powder surface.
Belong to the incrusting type material equally, US Pat.5,294,374 have delivered a kind of material, its material structure is the semi-conductive mixture that conductor powder is covered a layer insulating and is not covered, its lining thickness is between between 70 dusts and 1 micron, its coating material can be used semiconductor, basically, these materials all are to block passing through of electric current with insulating material or semi-conducting material, and reach high-resistance purpose, but the thickness of coating directly influences the breakdown voltage of element, so the uniformity of thickness is very important.
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of material and manufacture method thereof of overvoltage protection element; material according to overvoltage protection element of the present invention; it is a kind of powder body material; the particle of powder body material itself possesses the P-N interface; existence because of this interface; make powder body material itself possess low leakage characteristic; when the situation of surging generation is arranged in the circuit; voltage increases suddenly; material just can instant failure; material moment becomes conductor, and can be used as the material of overvoltage protection element, and this is an one object of the present invention.
The present invention is the porous material at P-N interface; material structure such as Fig. 2 or shown in Figure 3 from the end to end of electrode, represent zinc oxide semi-conductor with P; represent that with N coating layer is the oxide of bismuth oxide-containing, therefore the P-N structure of overvoltage protection element of the present invention can be expressed as
E-P-N-P-S-P-N-P-……-P-N-P-S-P-N-P-E
Wherein, P-N-P represents a crystal grain; S represents the wall of crystal grain and intergranule; S can be the insulator of air or glass etc., and breakdown voltage is therebetween represented with Vs, also can make S not exist because of crystal grain contacts with crystal grain; there is a breakdown voltage Vb2 in each P-N-P; be made up of several crystal grain between electrode, so the breakdown voltage of element can be expressed as Vb=∑ Vb2+ ∑ Vs, therefore the principle of overvoltage protection element of the present invention is different from traditional overvoltage protection element.
Be uniformly distributed in the solvent with this powder body material, or be uniformly distributed in the solvent that contains binding agent (binder), or be uniformly distributed in the solvent with glass powder, or be uniformly distributed in the solvent that contains binding agent with glass powder, and the suitable paste of furnishing, insert between the electrode of spacing, drying again, behind the sintering, make material sinter the cellular structure body into, the density of this cellular structure body (or being referred to as the porous material body) is controlled between the 30-90% of solid density, possessed the advantage of low capacitance and low-leakage current with this element of making, this is an another object of the present invention.
Existing overvoltage protection material; the element that is constituted with insulating material isolated conductor or semiconductor powder is arranged; these elements are on making; when very easily being distributed in insulating material because of conductor powder; the generation conductor powder flocks together; and the generation situation of short circuit; powder body material of the present invention itself possesses the P-N-P interface; therefore resistance is very high; powder and powder flock together, and do not influence any characteristic of element, do not have similar short circuit phenomenon and take place; therefore be a kind of manufacturing process of making the very high and characteristic quite stable of acceptance rate, this is an another object of the present invention.
Existing overvoltage protection material; having with insulating material coated conductor or semiconductor powder surface is the element that overvoltage protection material was constituted; also having with isolated conductor of insulating material or semiconductor powder is the element that overvoltage protection material was constituted; the thickness of these insulating material directly influences the breakdown voltage of element; overvoltage protection material of the present invention; itself possesses grain boundary layer powder body material; therefore the breakdown voltage of element and the thickness of coating there is no direct relation; and with the quantity at P-N-P interface; the breakdown voltage at interface is relevant; therefore element breakdown voltage of the present invention Be Controlled very easily, this is an another object of the present invention.
