Abstract
Properties of single grain boundaries in ZnO:rare-earth varistors were examined by the isothermal capacitance transient spectroscopy (ICTS) method. Micro-electrodes prepared by photolithography were used for measuring the behavior of single junctions in ZnO varistors. From current-voltage measurements, it was found that the non-linear exponents of single junctions varied from 3 to 14. Interface state levels existed at 0.9 eV below the conduction band edge for every junction. On the other hand, the interface state density varied from junction to junction and the non-linearity was shown to increase with increasing interface state density.
