CoO 첨가량에 따른 $Pr_{8}O_{11}$계 ZnO 바리스터의 DC 가속열화특성

DC accelerated aging characteristics of Pr$_{6}$O$_{11}$-based ZnO varistors, which are composed of ZnO+Pr$_{6}$O$_{11}$+CoO+Cr$_2$O$_3$+Dy$_2$O$_3$ ceramics were investigated with CoO content in the range of 0.5~5.0 mol%. The varistors doped with 1.0 mol% revealing maximum value(66.61) in the nonlinear exponent exhibited excellent stability, in which the variation rates of the varistor voltage, the nonlinear exponent and leakage current are -1.93%, -10.48%, and 288.79%, respectively, under DC accelerated aging stress, such as (0.85 V$_{1mA}$/115$^{\circ}C$/24h)+(0.90 V$_{1mA}$/12$0^{\circ}C$/24h)+(0.95 V$_{1mA}$/1$25^{\circ}C$/24h)+(0.95 V$_{1mA}$/15$0^{\circ}C$/24h). Next the varistors doped with 2.0 mol% exhibiting the nonlinear exponent of 47.39 showed high stability,ity,ability,ity,
