Ytterbium (Yb)-doped (1 -x)BaTiO 3 -xBi 4-Ti 3 O 12 (abbreviated as BT-BIT, where x = 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.015, 0.02 and 0.03) semiconducting ceramics were fabricated by the conventional mixed oxide method, all the samples were sintered in a pure N 2 atmosphere and annealed in air for several hours. The Curie temperature (Tc) firstly increased and then decreased with the increase of BIT, which corresponded to the trend of c/a value. In addition, the effect of Yb 3? on the PTCR was also investigated. It was found that the Curie temperature was shifted to a higher level and the dielectric constant decreased with the increase of Yb 3? .
