Nonlinear resistance element and its manufacturing method

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To obtain a nonlinear resistance element which has a conductive switching function by attaching a lead electrode to a thin film of a mixture of manganese oxide, cobalt oxide and iron oxide. CONSTITUTION:2-Ethyl hexanates, which are easy to be formed into a film, are employed as compounds of Mn, Co and Fe and these compounds are applied by spin-coating with methyl isobutyl keton as solvent to the surface of a glass substrate 1 on which an Au thin film electrode 4 is provided. The substrate is then baked in the atmosphere at 550 deg.C for 60min to form an active layer 2 and an Au thin film electrode 3 is formed. With this constitution, a non-linear resistance element, which has switching characteristics with a threshold voltage Vth, a threshold current Ith, a holding voltage Vh and a holding current Ih, can be obtained with high productivity and at a low cost.
