Abstract

Mn-Co-Ni oxide system has been used as the NTC thermistors for normal temperature applications. Mn-Co-Ni oxide-based thermistors with various compositions were sintered at 1250$^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours and then maintained at 1000$^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The electrical properties of the thermistors fabricated were measured. In particular the MCN622 composition (Mn$_3$O$_4$60 wt%, Co$_3$O$_4$20 wt%, NiO 20wt%) exhibited the lowest resistivity and relatively high B constant. The MCN721 composition (Mn$_3$O$_4$70wt%, Co$_3$O$_4$20wt%, NiO 10 wt%) showed the higher resistivity than any other compositions. The aging properties of each composition showed comparatively stable characteristics within ${\pm}$2%.

상온용 NTC 서미스터로는 주로 Mn-Co-Ni 산화물계가 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 Mn-Co-Ni 산화물게 분말을 이용하여 상온에서 가압성형하여 125$0^{\circ}C$에서 3시간 동안 소결한 후, 100$0^{\circ}C$에서 3시간 유지하여 소결체를 제작하였다. 다양한 조성으로 제조된 서미스터의 전기적 특성을 평가한 결과, MCN622(Mn$_3$O$_4$60wt%, 20wt%, NiO 20wt%)는 가장 낮은 비저항과 상대적으로 높은 B 정수를 나타내었고, MCN721(Mn$_3$O$_4$70wt%, Co$_3$O$_4$20wt%, NiO 10 wt%)는 다는 조성들에 비해 현저히 높은 비저항값을 나타내었다. 또한, 각 조성들의 경시변화는 $\pm$2%이내로서 비교적 안정한 특성을 나타냈다.
