Abstract

Abstract An improved reduction-reoxidation type semiconducting ceramic capacitor and the method for producing the same are disclosed. The main components of the substrate of the capacitor are CaTiO3, SrTiO3 and Bi2O3xxTiO2. Said substrate also contains at least one member selected from the group consisting of manganese, cobalt, nickel, chromium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, lanthanum and cerium ions in total amounts of 0.025 to 0.4% by weight. The capacitor according to the present invention excels, in the temperature independency of the capacitance and tan delta , etc.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 147 words
A method for producing semiconducting ceramic bodies which comprises: (a) mixing strontium titanate, calcium titanate, bismuth oxide and titanium oxide so as to give the composition falling within the tetragonal area described by the line A-B-C-D in FIG. 6, and further adding at least one member selected from the group consisting of manganese, cobalt, nickel, chromium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, lanthanum and cerium ions in total amounts of 0.025 to 0.4% by weight to the resulting mixture; (b) pressing the compositions into desired shape; (c) sintering the thus obtained shaped bodies at a temperature of about 1350° C in an oxidizing atmosphere for about 2 hours; (d) firing the composition of at (C) a temperature of about 850° C in a reducing atmosphere for about an hour, and; (e) further firing the composition at a temperature of about 780° C in an oxidizing atmosphere for about an hour.
