The average grain sizes were showed decreased from $8.6\;{\mu}m$ to $10\;{\mu}m$, and varistor voltages were decreased from 506 V to 460 V by added amount of glass-frit. Nonlinear coefficient ${\alpha}$, of all were with increasing the amount of glass-frit more than 60, in case of added on 0.03wt% glass-frit was 83. And leakage current were less than $1{\mu}A$ with applied at 82% of varistor voltage. The clamping voltage ratio of the specimes added 0.03wt% glass-frit was 1.41 at applied 25A $[8/20{\mu}s]$.

ZnO varistor ceramics were fabricated as a function of the sintering temperature from $1125^{\circ}C$ to $1200^{\circ}C$ with glass-frit 0.03wt% addition. The average grain size was increased from 10.4 ${\mu}m$ to 23.7 ${\mu}m$, and varistor voltage was decreased from 538 V to 329 V with rising of the sintering temperature. The nonlinear coefficient a showed similar value from 75 to 80 and leakage current of all specimens exhibited the result of $1{\mu}A$ at 82% of varistor voltage. But the clamping voltage ratio of the specimens sintered at $1175^{\circ}C$ was 1.37 at 25A [$8/20{\mu}s$]. Also, endurance of surge current and deviation of varistor voltage of sintered specimens at $1175^{\circ}C$ were $6400A/cm^2$, $\Delta$-3.32%, respectively.

The surge current characteristics of ZnO-$Pr_6O_{11}$-CoO-$Cr_2O_3-Dy_2O_3$-based varistors were investigated with various $Dy_2O_3$ contents. The sintered density decreased in the range of $5.2{\sim}4.6g/cm^3$ with increasing $Dy_2O_3$ content. The incorporation of $Dy_2O_3$ markedly enhanced the nonlinear properties of varistors above 10 times in nonlinear exponent, compared with the varistor without $Dy_2O_3$. The varistor ceramics doped with 0.5 mol% $Dy_2O_3$ exhibited the highest electrical stability. However, the remainder varistors resulted in thermal runaway due to low density of varistor ceramics. The clamping voltage ratio exhibited a minimum value of 2.03 in 1.0 mol% $Dy_2O_3$ at surge current of 100 A(8/20 ${\mu}s$).

The effects of $SiO_2$ and MnO addition on the sinterability and the electrical properties of 0.4mol% Nb-doped SrTiO3 varistor were investigated. The $SiO_2$ content was fixed at 0.3mol% and the MnO content varied from 0 to 1.0mol%. With 0.3 mol% $SiO_2$ and 0.3 mol% MnO addition, optimum density was obtained by sintering at $1200^{\circ}C$ without excess liquid phase. Impedance spectroscopy was performed on the sintered specimens with 0.3 mol% $SiO_2$ and various MnO contents. It was found that the resistivities of grains was increased with increasing MnO content. The dielectric constant was measured to be above 50000 in the specimen with 0.3~1.0mol% Mn content. The non-linear coefficient increased substantially with MnO addition, and it varied from 1 to 9 depending on the MnO content.

ZnO varistors containing cobalt, praseodymium and calcium oxides were prepared. The current-voltage charcteristics and microstructures of the specimens were investigated with respect to calcium addition and sintering temperature. The potential barrier heights and the carrier densities were estimated from C-V relations. The compatibility of Ag-Pd as an internal electrode for multilayer chip varistor was also examined.

The microstructure, electrical, and clamping voltage characteristics of ZPCCY-based varistor ceramics were investigated in the sintering time range of 1${\sim}$3 h. Increasing sintering time promoted the densification, in which the average grain size and density are increased in the range of $11.4{\sim}16.0{\mu}m$ and $5.34{\sim}5.54g/cm^3$, respectively. The nonlinear exponent decresed in the range of 60${\sim}$26 and the leakage current increased in the range of $1.3{\sim}10.7{\mu}A$ with increase of sintering time. The clamping voltage ratio was less than 2 for ratio surge current of 10 A over sintering times.

The I-V characteristics and its stability of ZPCCL-based ceramic varistors doped with La$_2$O$_3$in the range of 0.0~4.0 mol% were investigated. The density of ceramics was increased in the range of 4.7~5.8 g/cm$^3$ with increasing La$_2$O$_3$content. As La$_2$O$_3$content is increased, the varistor voltage was decreased in the range of 503.49-9.42 V/mm up to 2.0 mol%, whereas increasing La$_2$O$_3$content further caused it to increase. The ZPCCL-based varistors were characterized by nonlinearity, in which the nonlinear exponent is in the range of 3.05~82.43 and leakage current is in the range of 0.24-100.22 $\mu$A. Among ZPCCL-based varistors, 0.5 mol% added-varistors exhibited an excellent nonlinearity, in which the nonlinear exponent is 82.43 and the leakage current is 0.24 $\mu$A. Furthermore, they exhibited a high stability, in which the variation rate of the varistor voltage and the nonlinear exponent was -1.11% and -6.72%, respectively, under DC stress, such as (0.80 V$_{1mA}$9$0^{\circ}C$/12h)+(0.85 V$_{1mA}$115$^{\circ}C$//12h) +(0.90 V$_{1mA}$12$0^{\circ}C$//12h)+(0.95 V$_{1mA}$1$25^{\circ}C$//12h)+(0.95 V$_{1mA}$15$0^{\circ}C$//12h). Consequently, it was estimated that ZPCCL-based ceramics will be applied to development of Pr$_{6}$O$_{11}$ based ZnO varistors having a high performance.e.rformance.e.

The microstructure and varistor characteristics of ZnO-Pr$_{6}$O$_{11}$-CoO-Cr$_2$O$_3$-Dy$_2$O$_3$(ZPCCD)-based ceramics were investigated with Dy$_2$O$_3$ content in the range of 0.0∼2.0 mol%. As Dy$_2$O$_3$ content is increased, the average grain size was decreased in the range of 18.6∼4.7 $\mu$m and the density was decreased in the range of 5.53∼4.34 g/cm$^3$. While, the varistor voltage was increased in the range of 39.4∼436.6 V/mm and the nonlinear exponent was in the range of 4.5-66.6 with increasing Dy$_2$O$_3$ content. The addition of Dy$_2$O$_3$ highly enhanced the nonlinear properties of varistors, compared with the ceramics without Dy$_2$O$_3$ Particularly, the ceramics with Dy$_2$O$_3$ content of 0.5 mol% exhibited the highest nonlinearity, in which the nonlinear exponent is 66.6 and the leakage current is 1.2 $\mu$A.A.A.
