However, the BaTiO 3 -based PTC used in the thermal head disclosed in the above publication is known.
Since ceramics have a large linear expansion coefficient of 123 × 10 −7 / ° C., there are few types of glass materials equivalent to this linear expansion coefficient. Further, when using glass satisfying this condition, it is difficult to remove fine bubbles or voids generated during the heat treatment by the method of coating the paste-like glass powder. .01μ
It is difficult to satisfy a surface roughness of less than m. For this reason,
As an insulator covering the head substrate and the auxiliary heating element, a glass material having a linear expansion coefficient of about 123 × 10 −7 / ° C. of a BaTiO 3 ceramic material constituting PTC is used in consideration of a manufacturing process. There is a problem that it is difficult to do. For this reason, it was not possible to give the glassy insulator the surface smoothness required for forming a recording heating element or the like with a surface roughness of 0.01 μm or less. Furthermore, Ba
Glasses known as glasses having a linear thermal expansion coefficient close to the linear expansion coefficient of TiO 3 -based PTC ceramics include:
There is a problem that it easily reacts chemically with the auxiliary heating electrode. Therefore, conventionally, when manufacturing a thermal head, there is no other way but to sacrifice either the linear expansion coefficient, the surface roughness, or the chemical stability with the auxiliary heating electrode. The yield was extremely poor. Therefore, the present invention provides a BaTiO 3 -based PTC.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a thermal head using a ceramic substrate and capable of improving durability and production yield, and a method for producing the same.
