Definitions
- the present invention relates to a ceramic material and a resistance element formed using the ceramic material.
- an NTC (Negative-Temperature-Coefficient) thermistor is known as an inrush current suppressing thermistor element.
- An NTC thermistor for controlling inrush current is generally an element having a room temperature resistance of about several hundred to several thousand ⁇ ⁇ cm and composed of an NTC thermistor material having a room temperature resistance of less than 10 ⁇ .
- the specific resistance is small, the resistance change between the low temperature state and the high temperature state (which can be evaluated by the B constant) is not sufficiently large, and due to the residual resistance while the steady current is flowing (on state, high temperature state). There are problems such as relatively large power loss.
- the resistance change (B constant) between a low temperature state and a high temperature state is large when the specific resistance is large, there is a problem that the element size becomes large in order to reduce the element resistance. This is because there is generally a positive correlation between the specific resistance of the conductive material and the B constant. When the specific resistance is reduced, the B constant is reduced, so that a low specific resistance and a high B constant are realized. It is difficult. This problem becomes more prominent in applications where lower resistance elements are required, and the conventionally known NTC thermistor material has a very large element size, making it difficult to use due to mounting problems.
- CTR Cosmetic Temperature Resistor
- the CTR has a characteristic (hereinafter simply referred to as “CTR characteristic”) that when the temperature is increased, the resistance decreases sharply (transition from an insulator to a metal state) in a certain temperature or temperature range.
- CTR characteristic a characteristic that when the temperature is increased, the resistance decreases sharply (transition from an insulator to a metal state) in a certain temperature or temperature range.
- CTR characteristic characteristic
- B constant as compared with an NTC thermistor whose resistance gradually decreases as the temperature rises.
- a ceramic material having CTR characteristics it has a structure represented by the chemical formula R1 1-x R2 x BaMn 2 O 6 (1)
- R1 is made of Nd and R2 is made of at least one of Sm, Eu, and Gd
- x is 0.05 ⁇ x ⁇ 1.0
- R1 is made of Nd and R2 is made of at least one of Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and Y
- x is 0.05 ⁇ x ⁇ 0.8
- R1 consists of at least one of Sm, Eu and Gd
- R2 consists of at least one of Tb, Dy, Ho and Y
- x is 0 ⁇ x ⁇ 0.4
- (4) When R1 is composed of at least one of Sm, Eu, and Gd, and R2 is composed of at least one remaining that is not selected as R1 among Sm, Eu, and Gd, x is 0 ⁇ x ⁇
- Patent Document 1 A ceramic material characterized by 1.0 is proposed (Patent
- Patent Document 1 is an A-site aligned Mn compound in which rare earth elements and barium entering the A site of the perovskite structure are aligned, and exhibits CTR characteristics. Patent Document 1 describes that this ceramic material exhibits a steep resistance change near 100 ° C., for example, as shown in FIG. 2 of the same document, and is suitable for constituting a thermistor element for suppressing inrush current. Yes.
- the thermistor element for suppressing the inrush current particularly the thermistor element for high power use, has a lower room temperature resistivity than the element for suppressing the inrush current formed using the conventional NTC thermistor material. If the room temperature specific resistance of the ceramic material that constitutes the thermistor element for suppressing inrush current is too high, the element size will increase (the area will become larger and thinner) in order to achieve the required resistance level of the element, and the mechanical strength It becomes a big problem in practical use due to the decrease in the size and the increase in the mounting area. In order to function as an inrush current countermeasure element, self-heating occurs due to the inrush current, and it is necessary to reach a steady state temperature and be in an on state (low resistance). However, if the element size is large, the heat capacity is large. In addition, since the heat radiation area is increased, the response to inrush current is lowered, the temperature is not sufficiently increased, the on-state resistance is increased, and the power consumption is increased.
- the thermistor element for suppressing the inrush current effectively suppresses the inrush current over a relatively wide temperature range from the low temperature to the transition temperature, while minimizing the power consumption by the thermistor element while the steady current flows.
- the temperature change shows a steep resistance change (that is, a large B constant), and the temperature showing the steep resistance change (transition temperature) is in the range of 80 to 180 ° C.
- the ceramic material described in Patent Document 1 has a low room temperature specific resistance (to construct an inrush current suppressing thermistor element) and an abrupt resistance due to temperature rise. Despite the change (decrease), the heat cycle test revealed that the resistance increased.
- thermistor element When a thermistor element is used to suppress inrush power, the element rises due to self-heating and becomes low resistance when the power is turned on, which generates inrush current, and when the power is turned off, the temperature drops and becomes high resistance. The temperature history of transition between the low temperature state and the high temperature state is repeated. Therefore, the increase in the resistance value clarified by the heat cycle test can occur during actual use, and can cause a malfunction of the module.
- the ceramic material described in Patent Document 1 can be inferior in terms of reliability (heat cycle resistance), and is not necessarily satisfactory as a material constituting the inrush current suppressing thermistor element.

- CaMn 7 O 12 has higher specific resistance at room temperature than the ceramic material described in Patent Document 1, and Cu is added to control the transition temperature (low-temperature shift). Then, it has been found that there is a problem that the steepness of the resistance change is deteriorated (B constant is reduced). Furthermore, it became clear that the resistance of CaMn 7 O 12 is increased by a heat cycle test, like the ceramic material described in Patent Document 1. In addition, although CaMn 7 O 12 has unclear CTR characteristics when Cu is added, it has a low specific resistance and a high B constant as compared with the commonly used NTC thermistor materials of Mn-based spinel compounds. After all, there was a problem that the resistance increased by the heat cycle test, and it became clear that it could not be suitably used as a thermistor material having a low resistance and a high B constant.
- the present inventor has conducted extensive research on a ceramic material based on CaMn 7 O 12 , adding Na (more specifically, replacing a part of Ca with Na) and / or determining a composition ratio to a predetermined value. By adjusting it within the range, the specific resistance at room temperature is lowered to an acceptable level, the steepness of resistance change can be maintained, and furthermore, heat cycle resistance is improved, and further studies are made. As a result, the present invention has been completed.

- the comparative samples of sample numbers 1 and 7 have a resistance change rate of more than 10% before and after the test, and the reliability is low. On the other hand, the resistance change rate was suppressed to 10% or less in the sample to which Na was added.
- the rapid resistance change seen in the CaMn 7 O 12 system is derived from the formation and collapse of the charge alignment state of Mn 3+ -Mn 4+. When the charge alignment state is inhibited, the rapid resistance change deteriorates (the B constant is low). Can be considered).
- the divalent Ca site with monovalent Na instead of the Mn site which greatly affects the charge alignment, holes can be injected without causing disturbance in the charge alignment of Mn. Thus, it is presumed that the specific resistance at room temperature was lowered and a high B constant could be maintained.
- the increase in room temperature resistance that occurs in the heat cycle may be affected by the generation of oxygen vacancies, and unstable oxygen is lost during the heat cycle test, resulting in a change in the amount of oxygen vacancies. Conceivable. In fact, the resistance tends to increase due to the heat cycle, and it is presumed that the oxygen deficiency is formed and the hole amount is decreased. On the other hand, by generating holes as in the present invention, even if the oxygen deficiency changes in the heat cycle, it is presumed that the charge was compensated and was not recognized as a significant resistance change. .
- the ceramic material of the present invention can be used as a material constituting the inrush current suppressing thermistor element, but is not limited to such an application.

本実験例は、X=1.0およびY=7.0、よって、X/Y=1.0/7.0である場合、換言すれば、Ca1-xNaxMn7-yMyO12で表される組成(化学量論組成、言わば理想的な組成)を有するセラミック材料に関する。
電気的特性および信頼性を評価するため、セラミック材料の試料を下記の方法で作製した。
原料としてそれぞれ99.9%以上の酸化マンガン(Mn3O4)、炭酸カルシウム(CaCO3)、酸化銅(CuO)、炭酸ナトリウム(Na2CO3)、酸化ニッケル(NiO)を用いた。これら原料を焼成後に表1~3の組成になるように秤量し、500mlのポット容器に直径2mmの部分安定化酸化ジルコニウム(PSZ)ボール、純水、分散剤と一緒に入れ、16時間粉砕混合を行った。これにより得られたスラリーを乾燥させ、造粒して、大気中にて900℃で4時間仮焼した。これにより得られた仮焼粉に有機溶剤および分散剤を添加し、PSZボールを用いてスラリーとして16時間の粉砕混合処理に付し、これに可塑剤および有機バインダーを添加して更に6時間混合して、シート成形用スラリーを調製した。これにより調製したスラリーを用いて、ドクターブレード法により成形してグリーンシートとし、短冊状にカットし、これを積層して圧着し、ブロック(グリーンボディ)を作製した。その後、焼成後に約5mm×5mm×0.8mm程度のサイズになるようにブロックをカットし、大気中にて450℃で加熱することにより脱バインダー処理に付し、引き続き大気中にて950~980℃にて4時間焼成した。これにより得られた焼結体の相対向する主面にAgペーストを塗布し、750℃にて10分間の熱処理により焼き付けて電極を形成した。以上により、電気評価用に1対の電極を備える試料を得た。
上記のようにして作製した試料について、下記の通り電気特性を評価した。
抵抗測定器(ケースレー2430)と温度槽(Despatch製)とを使用して、4端子法で抵抗の温度依存性評価を行った。温度範囲は室温(28℃)~200℃とした。測定された抵抗値から比抵抗を算出し、また、5℃刻みで測定した抵抗値の温度依存性から、上述の式(1)に基づいてB定数を算出した。この実験例においては、室温(28℃)での比抵抗が50Ω・cm以下であり、かつ急激に抵抗変化が起きる温度領域でのB定数が2000以上の場合に、比抵抗が小さく、かつ抵抗変化の急峻性が高いと判断して、合格判定とした。室温(28℃)での比抵抗と、急激に抵抗変化が起きる温度領域でのB定数を表1~3に示す。
加えて、室温比抵抗とB定数が上記判断で合格判定となった試料と比較試料(試料番号1)においては、ヒートサイクル試験も行った。
この実験例においては、ヒートサイクル試験では-25℃~180℃の温度範囲で昇降温を1000回繰り返し、試験前後での抵抗変化率が10%以下の場合を合格判定とした。結果を表1~3に併せて示す。
本実験例は、XおよびYが、X/Y=1.0/7.0を満たさない場合、換言すれば、セラミック材料の組成比率を、Ca1-xNaxMn7-yMyO12で表される理想的な組成から意図的にずらした場合に関するものであって、理想的な組成と比較して示すものである。
