Definitions
- the invention relates to a PTC component and a method for producing the component.
- PTC elements For ceramic thermistors, i.e. Components with a positive temperature coefficient of resistance, so-called PTC elements, are not usually suitable for use in temperature-stable electrodes made of precious metal. These cannot establish ohmic contact between the ceramic and the metallic electrodes. Therefore, PTC elements with (inner) electrodes made of precious metal have an impermissibly high resistance. However, the base metals suitable as electrode material generally do not survive the sintering process that is required for the construction of multilayer components.
- PTC device which is a ten-coupled multi-layer component of überrapgesta- Keramikschich 'and which is sintered in an atmosphere with a high oxygen content or after-baked.
- the PTC component contains internal electrodes with tungsten. Tungsten survives the sintering process.
- the sintering or subsequent tempering at high oxygen partial pressure poses a risk of oxidation of the internal electrodes, which results in PTC components with high ohmic resistance, which is undesirable.
- a method for producing a PTC component is specified with the steps:
- a PTC component is to be understood as a component with a base body, comprising ceramic layers lying one above the other, which are separated from one another by electrode layers, in which the ceramic layers contain a ceramic material which is present in at least one characteristic part of the R / T
- Characteristic has a positive temperature coefficient. Furthermore, the component has collector electrodes attached to the side, the electrode layers being contacted alternately with these collector electrodes.
- the method according to the invention allows the production of PTC components which have a volume V and an ohmic resistance R, which is measured between the collecting electrodes at a temperature between 0 ° C. and 40 ° C., where: V • R ⁇ 600.
- electrodes made of tungsten or containing tungsten survive the sintering process required for the ceramic component and thereby form a good ohmic contact with the ceramic.
- tungsten has a good electrical conductivity comparable to that of noble metals, which for pure tungsten is about three times as high as that of silver, so that electrode layers with sufficient electrical load-bearing capacity can already be achieved with thinner tungsten layers.
- Wolfram is also hiring is inexpensive electrode material, which is, for example, much cheaper than precious metals such as palladium or platinum.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a ceramic green sheet printed with an electrode layer
- FIG. 2 shows a multilayer component according to the invention in a schematic cross section
- FIG. 3 shows a ceramic green sheet which can be divided into several components and has active and passive areas in the
- Figure 4 shows a layer stack of ceramic
- FIGS. 5 A to D each show a temperature / oxygen profile for the debinding or sintering of a layer stack.
- Ceramic is used to manufacture green ceramic films
- the film is then produced in a desired thickness by film drawing or film casting.
- Figure 1 shows such a green sheet 1 in perspective.
- an electrode paste 2 is applied to the area provided for the electrode.
- a number of thick-film processes, in particular printing, for example by means of screen printing, are suitable for this.
- passive area 3 It is also possible not to apply the electrode as a flat layer, but in a structured manner, possibly as an openwork pattern.
- the electrode paste 2 consists of metallic, metallic tungsten or a tungsten compound-comprising particles for producing the desired conductivity, optionally sinterable ceramic particles for adapting the shrinking properties of the electrode paste to that of the ceramic and a burnable organic binder in order to make the ceramic mass or a moldable To ensure cohesion of the green bodies.
- Particles of pure tungsten, particles of tungsten alloy, tungsten compound or mixed particles of tungsten and other metals can be used.
- the electrode layers and thus the electrode paste can also contain further tungsten compounds such as, for example, tungsten carbide, tungsten nitride or also tungsten oxide (WO). The only important thing is that the tungsten is in an oxidation state that is less than + 6, so that it can still perform its function in the barrier layer degradation.
- tungsten can vary within wide ranges, the sintering conditions possibly having to be adapted to the electrode paste composition.
- the barrier layer in PTC thermistor material is regularly broken down with tungsten parts of 3 and more weight percent (based on the metallic particles) reached.
- the printed green foils 9 are then stacked in a desired number in a stack of foils such that (green) ceramic layers 1 and electrode layers 2 are arranged alternately one above the other.
- the electrode layers are also alternately connected to collecting electrodes on different sides of the component in order to connect the individual electrodes in parallel.
- first and second green foils 9 with different orientations of the printed electrode layers 2 in such a way that their passive areas 3 alternately point to different sides.
- a uniform electrode geometry is preferably selected for this purpose, the first and second green film 9 differing in that they are rotated in the film stack against one another by 180 °.
- the film stack which is still elastic due to the binder, is brought into the desired external shape by pressing and, if necessary, cutting.
- the stack of foils is then released and sintered, either separately or in one cut.
- FIG. 2 shows a finished multilayer component 8 according to the invention in a schematic cross section. Ceramic layers 4 and electrode layers 5 are alternately arranged one above the other in the component body. Collective electrodes 6, 6 ′ are now produced on two opposite sides of the component body, each of which is in electrical contact with every second electrode layer 5.
- a metallization usually made of silver, can first be produced on the ceramic, for example by electroless deposition. This can then be galvanically reinforced, for example by applying a layer sequence Ag / Ni / Sn. This improves the solderability on circuit boards.
- other possibilities of metallization or the generation of the collecting electrodes 6, 6 ' for example sputtering, are also suitable.
- the component 8 shown in FIG. 2 has ceramic layers as closing layers on both main surfaces.
- an unprinted green film 1 can be installed in the film stack as the top layer before sintering, so that the stack does not end with an electrode layer 2.
- an electrode layer 2 For mechanically particularly stressed ceramic components, it is also possible to make the top and bottom ceramic layers in the stack thicker than the other ceramic layers 4 in the stack.
- several unprinted green foils 1 without an electrode layer can be installed as the bottom and top layers when stacking the foil stack and pressed and sintered together with the rest of the green foil stack.
- FIG. 3 shows a green film printed with an electrode pattern 2, which enables division into several components, each with a smaller base area.
- the passive areas 3 not printed with electrode paste are arranged in this way. net that the alternating offset of the electrodes in the stack, which is suitable for contacting, can be set by alternately stacking first and second green foils. This can be achieved if the first and second green foils are each rotated relative to one another by, for example, 180 °, or if generally the first and second green foils have an electrode pattern offset from one another.
- the intersection lines 7, along which the green sheet or the layer stack produced therefrom can be separated into individual components, are identified by dashed lines.
- electrode patterns are also possible in which the cut guides can be laid out so that no electrode layer has to be cut through. However, every second electrode layer can then be contacted from the edge of the stack. If necessary, the stacks are separated after the separation and sintering before the application of the collecting electrodes 6, 6 'in order to expose the electrode layers to be contacted.
- FIG. 4 shows a layer stack produced in this way in a schematic cross section. It can be seen that when the layer stack is separated along the cutting lines 7, components are formed which each have the desired offset of the electrodes 4.
- Such a stack of films comprising a number of component floor plans is divided into individual film stacks of the desired component base area, preferably after the film stack has been pressed, for example by cutting or punching. The film stacks are then sintered. However, it is also possible to first sinter the multiple floor plans of the film stack comprising components and only then to separate the individual components by sawing the finished sintered ceramic. Finally, collecting electrodes 6 are again applied.
- a PTC component according to the invention consists of a barium titanate ceramic of the general composition (Ba, Ca, Sr, Pb) Ti0 3 , which is doped with donors and / or acceptors, for example with manganese and yttrium.
- the component can comprise, for example, 5 to 20 or even more ceramic layers together with the associated electrode layers, but at least two internal electrode layers.
- the ceramic layers usually each have a thickness of 30 to 200 ⁇ m. However, they can also have larger or smaller layer thicknesses.
- the outer dimension of a PTC thermistor component in the inventive multilayer construction can vary, but is usually in the range of a few millimeters for components that can be processed with SMD.
- a suitable size is, for example, the design 2220 known from capacitors. Geometries and component tolerances result from the standard CECC 32101-801 or from other standards. However, the PTC thermistor component can also be smaller.
- FIGS. 5 A to D show a temperature / oxygen profile for the debinding or sintering of a layer stack with variable oxygen content.
- FIGS. 5 A to D each show the same temperature profile, which is combined with different oxygen profiles.
- the temperature curve is indicated by the solid curve G.
- the area I between the times 0 and 260 minutes is the area of the debinding.
- the temperature rises evenly from 20 ° C to 500 ° C. In this time range, the oxygen content is 2 vol. -%.
- Area I adjoins area II, which begins at 280 minutes and ends at 500 minutes.
- the sintering of the layer stack takes place in this area II.
- the temperature is based on the final The temperature of the debinding further increased to a temperature of 1200 ° C. and then decreased again.
- the oxygen content can either be kept at 2% by volume, that is to say at the value of the debinding (curve A in FIG. 5 A), or else the oxygen content becomes a lower value, for example 1, after the debinding has been completed % By volume (curve B in FIG. 5 A) or 0.5% by volume (curve C in FIG. 5 A).
- FIG. 5C shows a further variant, according to which, according to curve E, the oxygen content during the sintering is continuously reduced to a value of 0.5% by volume.
- curve F it can be advantageous, as shown in FIG. 5 D, curve F, to lower the oxygen content with increasing temperature and to let it gradually increase again after the temperature maximum of 1200 ° C. has been exceeded.
- This has the advantage that at temperatures lower than the maximum sintering temperature, oxygen is again available for the ceramic, which improves the properties of the ceramic. As a result, the grain boundary active layers of the PTC ceramic can be built up better.
- An atmosphere containing a mixture is preferably used for the debinding or sintering processes from nitrogen or noble gas or another inert gas with air or oxygen.
- nitrogen and air can be mixed in such a way that an oxygen content in the atmosphere of 2% by volume results.
- the layer stacks are debinded up to a temperature of 500 ° C, the sintering taking place in the same atmosphere.
- barium titanate ceramics can be used, the sintering taking place at the usual temperatures.
- Table 1 below shows component resistances of PTC components in the 1210 design with 23 electrodes produced by the method according to the invention, depending on the oxygen content during sintering and compared with the sintering in air.
- the use of the method according to the invention enables the production of PTC components with a small volume and at the same time a low electrical resistance.
- Table 2 shows PTC component resistances as a function of the volume of the PTC component.
