Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of non-linear resistors (varistors) from thick-layer ceramic material, in particular on a hybrid circuit substrate, or any other device requiring that a predetermined temperature should not be exceeded during its manufacture. According to the invention, after crushing a ceramic material in order to obtain a very fine powder of varistor material, a powder is produced of conductive or semiconductive material able to assume the pasty state at a temperature lower than 850.degree. C. and a binder is incorporated therein to obtain a screen printing paste. The layer deposited by screen printing on a substrate such as glass, is dried and then heat treated so as to assure cohesion of the layer. This layer is either inserted between a previously deposited electrode and another electrode, or covered by two separate electrodes. The invention is particularly applicable to matrix access display screens.
