Abstract

ZnO varistor with composition of ZnO(90wt%)-Bi$_2$O$_3$(3wt%)-Sb$_2$O$_3$(3.6wt%)-CO$_2$O$_3$(1.16wt%)-NiO(0.88wt%)-MnO$_2$(0.71wt%)-Cr$_2$O$_3$(0.93wt%) according to Al$_2$O$_3$addtive was fabricated by sintering methods. The effects of Al$_2$O$_3$dopant on the I-V characteristics of ZnO varistors were investigated. These changes of electric properties were found to be caused by the variation of grains and grain boundary related to Al$_2$O$_3$dopting. And the conductive mechanism of ZnO varistor in prebreakdown region were investigated with defect model.
