Abstract Currently, the need for high performance heaters for industrial application is increasing, and repeated wear, rapid temperature change, and uneven temperature can cause deteriorating quality and reduced productivity. The ceramic heater in this study consists of a substrate, an electrode layer, and a protective layer, and low-melting temperature glass frit was used for all layers to allow low-temperature processing. As a substrate for the ceramic heater, Si3N4, which is twice as strong as AlN and has excellent wear resistance, was used. As the electrode material, Ag-Pd, which provides good adhesion to the Si3N4 substrate and high electrical conductivity was used, and MoO3 powder was mixed 8 : 2 to make a paste. The MoO3 adjusts the resistance of the Ag-Pd electrode, thereby supplementing the heater performance. Si3N4 powder and glass frit were used for the protective film layer that protects the electrode, and MoO3 was added to unify the materials between the layers.(Received 26 October, 2021; Accepted 6 January, 2022)
