Description

この発明は、遷移金属酸化物等の粉末を焼成して成るセラミックスであり、比較的高温での温度検知を行うサーミスタ用組成物とサーミスタ素子及びその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a thermistor composition, a thermistor element, and a method of manufacturing the thermistor, which are ceramics obtained by firing powders of transition metal oxides and the like and detect temperature at a relatively high temperature.

従来、特に高温における安定性の高い負の温度係数を持つサーミスタ用組成物及びその組成物から製造したサーミスタ素子として、特許文献1,2に開示されているようなものがあった。これらのサーミスタ素子は、おもに自動車の排ガス温度センサとして用いられ、室温から1000℃程度の高温に至るまでの温度検知を行うものである。   Conventionally, as a thermistor composition having a negative temperature coefficient having high stability particularly at a high temperature and a thermistor element manufactured from the composition, there are those disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2. These thermistor elements are mainly used as exhaust gas temperature sensors for automobiles, and perform temperature detection from room temperature to a high temperature of about 1000 ° C.

その他、高温までの測定が可能なセンサとしては、白金測温抵抗体、熱電対等が用いられている。   In addition, as a sensor capable of measuring up to a high temperature, a platinum resistance temperature detector, a thermocouple, or the like is used.

特開平7−99103号公報JP 7-99103 A 特開平10−321408号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-321408

しかし、上記特許文献1,2に開示されたサーミスタ素子の組成は組成元素の種類が多く、製造が難しい上、焼成温度が1400〜1600℃の高温にする必要があり、焼成コスト及びセンサ素子としてのコストが高くなるものであった。   However, the composition of the thermistor element disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 has many kinds of composition elements, and is difficult to manufacture. Further, it is necessary to set the firing temperature to a high temperature of 1400 to 1600 ° C. The cost of was high.

更に上記各温度センサは、温度検知に対する出力感度が低く、精度が悪いので使いづらい上、温度検出回路側での増幅回路が別途必要であり、装置全体としては高価になるものであった。   Further, each of the above temperature sensors has a low output sensitivity to temperature detection and is inaccurate, so that it is difficult to use and requires an additional amplifier circuit on the temperature detection circuit side, which makes the entire apparatus expensive.

NTCサーミスタにおいては、高温レンジのものは従来、温度係数(B定数)の高いものであり、低温・高温側の検知精度が鈍る。それにより測定レンジが限定される可能性があった。また、NTCサーミスタにおいては、長期熱的安定度を確保する為に、製造プロセス中の最終工程等でエージング、或いはアニーリングを実施して、予め抵抗値をドリフトさせて安定化させるという工程を有し、この抵抗値ドリフトを換算して目標の抵抗値に収束させるという複雑な工程があり、このためコストもかかるものであった。   In the NTC thermistor, those in the high temperature range are conventionally high in the temperature coefficient (B constant), and the detection accuracy on the low temperature / high temperature side is dull. This could limit the measurement range. In addition, NTC thermistors have a process of drifting and stabilizing the resistance value in advance by performing aging or annealing in the final process during the manufacturing process in order to ensure long-term thermal stability. There is a complicated process of converting the resistance value drift to converge to the target resistance value, which is also expensive.

また、使用される温度が高温の場合については、サーミスタ素子を製造するにあたり、使用温度範囲よりも極めて高温領域にて焼成する必要があり、製造経費等の低減が困難となっていた。   In the case where the temperature used is high, it is necessary to fire in a temperature range extremely higher than the operating temperature range when manufacturing the thermistor element, and it is difficult to reduce the manufacturing cost.

また、その他の白金測温抵抗体においてはPt貴金属の材料高騰により、購入価格が高く変動が著しいといった問題がある。K熱電対の場合では繰返しの使用に弱く、センサ出力の劣化が大きいといった欠点があった。またR熱電対は機械的強度にも優れないという欠点がある。   In addition, other platinum resistance thermometers have a problem that the purchase price is high and the fluctuation is remarkable due to the rise in the material of Pt noble metal. In the case of the K thermocouple, there is a drawback that it is weak to repeated use and the deterioration of the sensor output is large. Further, the R thermocouple has a drawback that it is not excellent in mechanical strength.

この発明は、前記従来の技術に鑑みて成されたもので、簡単な構成で、排ガスセンサ等の過酷な温度条件においても、低温度から高温にわたり正確な温度検知が可能で、且つ安定性が高いサーミスタ用組成物とサーミスタ素子及びその製造方法を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional technology.

この実施形態のサーミスタ組成物の製造方法について、図1を基に説明する。サーミスタ組成物の組成割合は、下記の実施例の表1の組成欄に示すものであり、その割合になるように各成分を秤量する。まず、希釈元の原料として
純度が99.9%以上で、平均粒径が1μmのYと、
純度が99.0%以上で、平均粒径が1μmのCaCOと、
純度が99.0%以上で、平均粒径が1μmのCr2Oと、
純度が99.0%以上で、平均粒径が1μmのMnOを、
(Y1−x・Ca)(Cr1−y・Mn)Oと表したとき、x,yを表1の組成欄に示す割合に秤量、混合を行い、その後1400℃にて2時間の仮焼成を行う。仮焼成を行った粉末は、湿式にて粉砕を行う。これにより、粒径1μmの原料粉末を得る。
The manufacturing method of the thermistor composition of this embodiment is demonstrated based on FIG. The composition ratio of the thermistor composition is shown in the composition column of Table 1 of the following Examples, and each component is weighed so as to be the ratio. First, Y 2 O 3 having a purity of 99.9% or more and an average particle size of 1 μm as a raw material for dilution,
CaCO 3 having a purity of 99.0% or more and an average particle diameter of 1 μm;
Cr2O 3 having a purity of 99.0% or more and an average particle diameter of 1 μm;
MnO 2 having a purity of 99.0% or more and an average particle diameter of 1 μm,
When expressed as (Y 1−x · Ca x ) (Cr 1−y · Mn y ) O 3 , x and y are weighed and mixed in the proportions shown in the composition column of Table 1 and then 2 at 1400 ° C. Temporary calcination is performed. The pre-baked powder is pulverized wet. Thereby, a raw material powder having a particle diameter of 1 μm is obtained.

さらに、第1の希釈成分として、純度が99.9%以上で、平均粒径が1μmのYを利用する。第2の希釈成分として、CaAlは、純度が99.99%以上で、平均粒径が0.3μmのものを用い、さらに、純度が99.0%以上で、平均粒径が1μmのCaCOを焼成後、CaAlの化学式の比率となるように秤量し、混合処理して、その後1400℃にて2時間の仮焼成を行う。仮焼成を行った粉末は、湿式により粉砕を行い、例えば0.8〜1.3μm粒径、平均粒径1μmの合成粉末を得る。 Further, Y 2 O 3 having a purity of 99.9% or more and an average particle diameter of 1 μm is used as the first dilution component. As the second dilution component, CaAl 2 O 4 having a purity of 99.99% or more and an average particle size of 0.3 μm is used. Further, the purity is 99.0% or more and the average particle size is 1 μm. After the CaCO 3 is fired, it is weighed so as to have a ratio of the chemical formula of CaAl 2 O 4 , mixed, and then temporarily fired at 1400 ° C. for 2 hours. The pre-baked powder is pulverized by a wet process to obtain, for example, a synthetic powder having a particle diameter of 0.8 to 1.3 μm and an average particle diameter of 1 μm.

次に、結合材としてMgSiOを混ぜる。MgSiOは、純度が99.0%以上で、平均粒径が1μmのMg(OH)と、純度が99.99%以上で、平均粒径が1μmのSiOを、焼成後にMgSiOの化学式となるように秤量、十分に混合を行う。これにより、結合材粉末を得る。 Next, Mg 2 SiO 4 is mixed as a binder. Mg 2 SiO 4 is composed of Mg (OH) 2 having a purity of 99.0% or more and an average particle diameter of 1 μm, and SiO 2 having a purity of 99.99% or more and an average particle diameter of 1 μm after firing. Weigh and mix well so that the chemical formula 4 is obtained. Thereby, a binder powder is obtained.

結合材としてMgSiOを用いることで、高温まで安定なMgSiO4結合材を低温にて合成することが可能となる。 By using Mg 2 SiO 4 as the binder, it is possible to synthesize a MgSiO 4 binder that is stable up to a high temperature at a low temperature.

これらの、希釈元の原料粉末、第1の希釈成分、第2の希釈成分、結合材を混合し有機ビヒクル(例えばPVB)を20〜30%の濃度になるように、アルコール中に分散させてスラリー化する。このスラリーを、リード線となる白金線を任意の間隔を設けて2本平行に配列させ、ディスペンス等で塗布して2本の白金線を間隔を設けた形で包み込むようにしてビード形状のサーミスタ素子に成型する。或いは、任意の間隔に配置した金型に、スラリーを充填して一定の圧力でプレスする事によりサーミスタ素子を形成する。   These raw material powder, the first diluted component, the second diluted component, and the binder are mixed and the organic vehicle (for example, PVB) is dispersed in alcohol so as to have a concentration of 20 to 30%. Slurry. This slurry is a bead-shaped thermistor in which two platinum wires as lead wires are arranged in parallel at an arbitrary interval and coated with a dispense or the like so as to wrap the two platinum wires in a spaced manner. Mold into the element. Alternatively, a thermistor element is formed by filling a metal mold arranged at an arbitrary interval with slurry and pressing it at a constant pressure.

この後、MgSiOを添加し、1200〜1300℃、例えば1250℃で大気中で焼成し、サーミスタ素子を形成する
この実施形態のサーミスタ素子においては、1000℃以上の高温領域においても、1000時間以上特性の劣化が無く安定性が高い。さらに、室温〜1000℃の熱履歴等を与えた場合でも、熱履歴後の抵抗値と初期抵抗値との変化(ΔR)が極めて小さく、安定な素子を得ることができる。
Thereafter, Mg 2 SiO 4 is added and fired in the atmosphere at 1200 to 1300 ° C., for example, 1250 ° C. to form the thermistor element. In the thermistor element of this embodiment, even in a high temperature region of 1000 ° C. or higher, High stability without deterioration of characteristics over time. Furthermore, even when a thermal history of room temperature to 1000 ° C. is given, a change (ΔR) between the resistance value and the initial resistance value after the thermal history is extremely small, and a stable element can be obtained.

作られるサーミスタ素子の特性は、抵抗値と抵抗温度係数(抵抗値の温度依存性:2点の温度間の温度係数/B定数)、抵抗値は5kΩ〜100kΩ範囲、B定数(例25℃/85℃)は1800K〜2800Kであり、-40℃の時の抵抗値は300kΩ〜1MΩ、そして仮に1000℃の時の抵抗値が30Ω〜100Ωの範囲である。これは温度センサを構成する温度検出回路にて十分実用的な抵抗値範囲に対応する事が出来る。   The characteristics of the thermistor element are as follows: resistance value and resistance temperature coefficient (temperature dependence of resistance value: temperature coefficient between two temperatures / B constant), resistance value ranging from 5 kΩ to 100 kΩ, B constant (eg 25 ° C / 85 ° C.) is 1800K to 2800K, the resistance value at -40 ° C. is 300 kΩ to 1 MΩ, and the resistance value at 1000 ° C. is 30Ω to 100Ω. This can correspond to a sufficiently practical resistance value range in the temperature detection circuit constituting the temperature sensor.

さらに、この発明のサーミスタ素子において、素子完成時にアニーリングを実施した場合、ΔR≦3.0%となり、完成品としての抵抗値を整合し易いものである。   Further, in the thermistor element of the present invention, when annealing is performed when the element is completed, ΔR ≦ 3.0%, and the resistance value as a completed product can be easily matched.
