Abstract
An electric heating type carrier including a conductive honeycomb structure portion and a pair of electrode layers, wherein in a cross-section orthogonal to the direction in which the cells extend, the honeycomb structure portion is classified into following three regions: a first resistance region having a contact portion with a first electrode layer, a second resistance region having a contact portion with a second electrode layer, and a third resistance region that does not come into contact with either the first electrode layer or the second electrode layer, and traverses the cross-section so as to be sandwiched between the first resistance region and the second resistance region, and has a higher electrical resistance per unit volume (1 cm) than an electrical resistance per unit volume (1 cm) of the first resistance region and the second resistance region.
