적충형 PTC 서미스터의 특성연구를 위해 $(0.90Ba+0.05Sr+0.05Ca)TiO_3+0.01TiO_3+0.01SiO_2+0.0008MnO_2+0.0018Nb_2O_5$와 같은 실험조성식을 설정한 후 표면실장(SMD) 적층형 PTC 시편을 제작하였다. 그 결과 상온 비저항 값을 크게 낮출 수 있고 용도에 따라 전류용량을 크게 할 수 있었으나 적층화로 인해 peak 비저항이 크게 낮아지고 열용량이 커짐으로써 스위칭(switching)시간이 늦어지는 점을 확인하였다. 전압-전류 특성에서는 적층수가 증가할수록 초기 최대전류값이 증가하며 큐리점에 대응하여 저항값이 급격히 커지는 전이전압(전계)도 증가함을 보였다. 그러나 인가전압(전계)을 증가시킬 경우 peak 비저항값을 높일 수 있어 스위칭시간을 줄일 수 있다 이 소자는 화재감지기의 센서로 활용될 수 있다.
This dissertation is about the development of PTC(Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistor by composition method. A multilayer-type PTC samples were fabricated under optimal conditions after setting the experimental composition equation as $(0.90Ba+0.05Sr+0.05Ca)TiO_3+0.01TiO_3+0.01SiO_2+0.0008MnO_2+0.0018Nb_2O_5$ and their testing results were analyzed. The fabrication method of SMD(Surface Mounted Device) multilayer -type sample based on the composition ratio has the advantages in lowering its resistivity at room temperature, considerably, and increasing maximum current level, as needed. Although there is a disadvantage of peak resistivity drop by the multilayer, causing the increasement of thermal capacity. and thereby, increasing the switching delay time, a high applying voltage can increase the peak resistivity and shorten the switching delay time. The voltage-current characteristic showed that the more multilayers increased the initial maximum current and the transition voltage that increased the resistivity abruptly according to the curie point. The element it could be applied with the sensor for the fire detector.
