Abstract
Abstract A semiconductive ceramic composition capable of exhibiting excellent electrical and physical characteristics sufficient to be used for a boundary-layer type semiconductive ceramic capacitor and such a capacitor capable of being increased in dielectric constant and insulation resistance and exhibiting excellent solderability and tensile strength of electrodes. The composition includes a SrTiO 3 base material and an additive for semiconductivity consisting of Y 2 O 3 and Nb 2 O 5 . The Y 2 O 3 and Nb 2 O 5 each are present in an amount of 0.1 to 0.4 mol % based on the composition. The capacitor includes a semiconductive ceramic body formed of the composition, a first conductive layer formed on each of both surfaces of the body and a second conductive layer formed on the first conductive layer. A process for manufacturing the capacitor is also provided.
