A thermistor comprising:
- a base layer containing a resin component;
- a thermistor layer on the base layer, wherein the thermistor layer is a composite which includes a plurality of particles including a metal oxide containing at least one first metal element that is at least one of Mn and Ni, and an amorphous phase between the plurality of particles and which contains the same metal element as the first metal element;
- two electrodes, wherein the two electrodes include at least one second metal element selected from the group consisting of Cu, Al, Ag, and Ni;
- and
- a bonding layer between the two electrodes and the thermistor layer, the bonding layer comprising the composite, the second metal element, and the resin component.
A thermistor comprising:
- a base layer containing a resin component;
- a thermistor layer on the base layer, wherein the thermistor layer comprises a composite which includes a plurality of particles including a metal oxide containing at least one first metal element that is at least one of Mn and Ni, and an amorphous phase between the plurality of particles and contains the same metal element as the first metal element;
- two electrodes, wherein the two electrodes include a base material including at least one second metal element selected from the group consisting of Cu, Al, Ag, and Ni;
