Abstract
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 (SiO2), and less than 50 mole % of bismuth oxide (Bi2O3), b) the same composition as that of said additive, c) more than 30 mole percent of antimony oxide (Sb2O3) and less than 70 mole percent of bismuth oxide (Bi2O3), and d) more than 50 mole percent of indium oxide (In2O3) and less than 50 mole percent of bismuth oxide (Bi2O3); (3) sintering the coated body; and (4) applying electrodes to opposite surfaces of the sintered body.
