Abstract
Abstract A semiconductor ceramic composition consists essentially of 83.95 to 98.65 mol% of barium titanate, 0.13 to 0.45 mol% of manganese oxide, 0.20 to 15 mol% of silicon dioxide and 0.23 to 1.65 mol% of one or more oxides selected from the group consisting of oxides of rare earth elements, bismuth and antimony, the content of one or more oxides of said group being 0.10 to 1.20 mol% greater than that of manganese oxide. The semiconductor ceramic composition has a markedly high positive resistance temperature characteristic.
