Abstract
Spinel structured highly dense NiMn2O4-based (NMO) negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor thick films were fabricated by aerosol-deposition at room temperature. To enhance the thermistor B constant, which represents the temperature sensitivity of the NMO thermistor material, Co and Co-Fe doping was applied. In the case of single element doping of Co, 5 mol% doped NMO showed a high B constant of over 5000 K, while undoped NMO showed ~4000 K. By doping Fe to the 5 mol% Co doped NMO, the B constant was more enhanced at over 5600 K. The aging effect on the NTC characteristics of Co doped and Fe-Co co-doped NMO thick film showed very stable resistivity-time characteristics because of the highly dense microstructure.
