Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A ceramic member includes a perovskite compound including La, Ca, Mn, and Ti as main components, wherein the amount of Ti is about 5 parts by mole or more and about 20 parts by mole or less, the amount of Ca is about 10 parts by mole or more and about 27 parts by mole or less, and the total amount of La and Ca is about 85 parts by mole or more and about 97 parts by mole or less based on the total amount of Mn and Ti of 100 parts by mole.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A thermistor device comprising: an element body including a ceramic member and electrodes; wherein the ceramic member includes a perovskite compound including La, Ca, Mn, and Ti as main components; and an amount of Ti is about 5 parts by mole or more and about 20 parts by mole or less, an amount of Ca is about 10 parts by mole or more and about 27 parts by mole or less, and a total amount of La and Ca is about 85 parts by mole or more and about 97 parts by mole or less based on a total amount of Mn and Ti of 100 parts by mole. 2. The ceramic member according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of Ti is about 18 parts by mole or less. 3. The ceramic member according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of Ti is about 7 parts by mole or more. 4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is a single-plate NTC thermistor device. 5. The thermistor device according to claim 1 , wherein the thermistor device is a laminated NTC device. 6. An electronic device comprising: an element body including a ceramic member and two main surfaces; and electrodes each disposed on one of the two main surfaces of the element body; wherein the ceramic member includes a perovskite compound including La, Ca, Mn, and Ti as main components; and an amount of Ti is about 5 parts by mole or more and about 20 parts by mole or less, an amount of Ca is about 10 parts by mole or more and about 27 parts by mole or less, and a total amount of La and Ca is about 85 parts by mole or more and about 97 parts by mole or less based on a total amount of Mn and Ti of 100 parts by mole. 7. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the electronic device is a thermistor device. 8. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the amount of Ti is about 18 parts by mole or less. 9. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the amount of Ti is about 7 parts by mole or more. 10. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the electronic device is a single-plate NTC thermistor device. 11. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the electronic device is a laminated NTC thermistor device. 12. An electronic device comprising: an element body including a ceramic member; an external electrode disposed on an outer surface of the element body; and an internal electrode disposed inside the element body and electrically connected to the external electrode; wherein the ceramic member includes a perovskite compound including La, Ca, Mn, and Ti as main components; and an amount of Ti is about 5 parts by mole or more and about 20 parts by mole or less, an amount of Ca is about 10 parts by mole or more and about 27 parts by mole or less, and a total amount of La and Ca is about 85 parts by mole or more and about 97 parts by mole or less based on a total amount of Mn and Ti of 100 parts by mole. 13. The electronic device according to claim 12 , wherein the electronic device is a thermistor device. 14. The electronic device according to claim 12 , wherein the amount of Ti is about 18 parts by mole or less. 15. The electronic device according to claim 12 , wherein the amount of Ti is about 7 parts by mole or more. 16. The electronic device according to claim 12 , wherein the electronic device is a single-plate NTC thermistor device. 17. The electronic device according to claim 12 , wherein the electronic device is a laminated NTC thermistor device.
