Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an oxide resistor having both large heat capacity per unit volume and sufficient surge resistivity by a method wherein the oxide resistor is mainly composed of NbO2 and NbO and the composite oxide of the element of group Ia, group IIa, group IIIa or group IIIb and niobium are contained therein. CONSTITUTION:The percentage of content of NbO2 and NbO are set at 90% or higher for NbO2 and 10% or lower for NbO. The content of the element of group Ia, group IIa, group IIIa or group IIIb on a periodic table should be 0.001 to 20at.% when the elements are expressed in terms of atoms. In this molded body, NbO2 and NbO are grown by the reaction of Nb with Nb2O5 when sintering, and the compound containing the element of group Ia, group IIa, group IIIa or group IIIb functions to lower the temperature of sintering. When the sintering temperature rises, the growth percentage of NbO is increased, and the resistance value of the obtained resistor becomes small. As a result, an oxide resistor having both large heat capacity per unit volume and sufficient surge resistivity can be obtained.
