  • ABSTRACT A process for making a voltage dependent resistor which has a zinc oxide sintered body which itself has voltage dependent properties. The process is made up of the steps of: (1) providing a formed body of a powder mixture having as a major part zinc oxide and additive; (2) coating on the side surfaces of the formed body a paste having as the solid ingredient composition at least one member selected from the group of a) more than 50 mole of-silicon dioxide (SiO and less than 50 mole of bismuth oxide (Bi O b) the same composition as that of said additive, c) more than mole percent of antimony oxide (Sb O and less than 70 mole percent of bismuth oxide (Bi- 0 and d) more than mole percent of indium oxide (1n O and less than 50 mole percent of bismuth oxide (Bi O (3) sintering the coated body; and (4) applying electrodes to opposite surfaces of the sintered body.
  • This invention relates to the preparation of a voltage dependent resistor the properties of which are due to the bulk thereof, and more particularly to a varistor comprising a zinc oxide sintered body having a high resistance layer of a composition such as silicon dioxide, antimony oxide or indium oxide on the side surface of the sintered body.
  • n (V/C)" where V is the voltage across the resistor, I is the current flowing through the resistor, C is a constant corresponding to the voltage at a given current and exponent n is a numerical value greater than 1. The value of n is calculated by the following equation:
  • silicon carbide varistors have non-linearity due to the contacts among individual grains of silicon carbide bonded together by a ceramic binding material i.e. to the bulk and are controlled with respect to the C-value by changing the dimension in the direction in which the current flows through the varistors.
  • the silicon carbide varistors however, have a relatively low n-value ranging from 3 t0. 9am! are answe xfit painanqm wzimatme:
  • a disadvantage of the zinc oxide voltage-dependent resistors is their poor stability in an electric load life test in a high ambient humidity.
  • the sintered body shows a decrease in the surface electrical resistance. This decrease causes in particular an increase in the leakage current in the zinc oxide voltage-dependent resistor of the bulk type and results in a poor non-linear property.
  • the deterioration of the non-linear property of the voltage-dependent resistor occurs even at a load of low power such as a load lower than 0.01 watt in a high ambient humidity, for example 90 percent R.H at C. Therefore, it is necessary that the sintered body is completely protected against outside moisture by a protective coating.
  • Another disadvantage of the zinc oxide voltage dependent resistors aforesaid exists in their poor ability to withstand impulse current.
  • the sintered body suffers a flashover along its side surface at an impulse voltage above SOOV/mm, and despite no deterioration in the interior of sintered body the side surface of the sintered body is heavily damaged.
  • the poor ability to withstand impulse current is unfavorable particu larly for application of the varistor as a lightning arrester,

No. 3,760,318 has Li ions or Na ions diffused into said sintered body from the side surface thereof at a temperature of 600C to l0O0C. This diffusing process inevitably results in lowering the n-value of the resultant resistor in the current region lower than 10 uA. The low n-value in such low current region is undesirable for an application requiring low leakage current.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a method for making a voltage dependent resistor characterized by a high stability with respect to a dc. load in high humidity and a good ability to withstand impulse current.
