ABSTRACT

ZnO varistor is a semiconductor device which can serve to protect the circuit from surge voltage because itsnon-linear I-V characteristics by controlling the microstructure of grain and grain boundaries. In order to obtain desiredelectrical properties, it is important to control microstructure evolution during the sintering process. In this research, wedefined a dataset composed of process conditions of sintering and relative permittivity of sintered body, and collectedexperimental dataset with DOE. Meta-models can predict permittivity were developed by learning the collected experimentaldataset on various machine learning algorithms. By utilizing the meta-model, we can derive optimized sintering conditionsthat could show the maximum permittivity from the numerical-based HMA (Hybrid Metaheuristic Algorithm) optimizationalgorithm. It is possible to search the optimal process conditions with minimum number of experiments if meta-modelbasedoptimization is applied to ceramic processing.
