Varistor piezotronics: Mechanically tuned conductivity in varistors

Journal of Applied Physics, 2015
The piezoelectric effect of ZnO has been investigated recently with the goal to modify metal/semiconductor Schottky-barriers and p-n-junctions by application of mechanical stress. This research area called “piezotronics” is so far focused on nano structured ZnO wires.

New varistor material

Journal of Applied Physics, 1988
A composite varistor material containing silicon carbide, a conductor, and an insulator has been developed. The material has rubberlike flexibility and is easily formed. A higher leakage resistivity (∼1012 Ω cm) and greater nonlinearity (∼10) than for silicon carbide varistors permit the material to be used as a gapless surge suppressor.

Integrated printed varistor

[1991 Proceedings] 6th Mediterranean Electrotechnical Conference, 2002
Two shapes of interdigitated planar varistors were made using thick-film technology on alumina substrates. These varistor were based on ZnO paste. The distance between varistor electrodes were changed from 0.2 to 1.91 mm, and the total length of the electrodes from 49 to 230 mm.

Degradation phenomena of ZnO varistors

Physica Status Solidi (a), 1981
The dc degradation behaviour of ZnO varistors as a function of the variables current, temperature, and time is investigated. The degradation rate is phenomenologically presented by an equation reflecting the observed aging behaviour in dependence on the influencing variables.

Planar Thick Film Varistors

Hybrid Circuits, 1993
Various thick film varistor constructions were made and characterised: ‘sandwich’, ‘interdigitated’ and ‘segmented’ varistors. The varistor active layer thickness, the electrode surface value and shape were varied. The Ul characteristics of these varistors were compared mutually, and with the Ul characteristics of the smallest chip varistors.

Origin of ZnO Varistor

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 1987
The varistor properties were examined in porous ZnO. The sample used contained no dopants such as Bi 2 O 3 or Pr 6 O 11 , which are usually considered to be useful in ...

Varistor Ceramics

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 1999
The development of varistor ceramics is reviewed with an emphasis on ZnO‐based varistors formed by liquid‐phase sintering. Particular attention is given to the effects of microstructural disorder on the properties of varistors and to the different modes of failure that can occur.

Integrated varistor-capacitor ceramics

ISAF '96. Proceedings of the Tenth IEEE International Symposium on Applications of Ferroelectrics, 2002
There exists a continued trend of ceramic integration in electronic components. In the last decade inductor-capacitors, resistor-capacitors have all successfully undergone integration into surface mount components. There exists a need to integrate varistors and capacitors to suppress high frequency transient voltage surges beyond /spl ges/0.5 ns.

Microchemistry of ZnO Varistors

Proceedings, annual meeting, Electron Microscopy Society of America, 1992
ZnO varistors are made by mixing semiconducting ZnO powder with powders of other metal oxides e.g. Bi2O3, Sb2O3, CoO, MnO2, NiO, Cr2O3, SiO2 etc., followed by conventional pressing and sintering. The non-linear I-V characteristics of ZnO varistors result from the unique properties that the grain boundaries acquire as a result of dopant distribution ...
