Willemite ceramics (Zn2SiO4) possess excellent millimeter-wave dielectric properties, but it also has a high sintering temperature above 1300°C by traditional solid-state reaction and relatively large negative τf value. Zn2SiO4 nanoparticles synthesized by Sol–Gel method were used to improve the sintering and dielectric properties of the Zn2SiO4 ceramics. Using the nanoparticles, Zn2SiO4 ceramics can be sintered at a low temperature, 1150°C and exhibited improved microwave dielectric properties of εr =6.62, Q × f=24500 GHz, τf =-59ppm/°C. By adding TiO2 with high positive τf value (+450 ppm/°C) and CuO as sintering aid, near zero τf value and low sintering temperature can be achieved. With 11wt% of TiO2 and 5 wt% of CuO, an εr value of 9.3, a Q × f value of 12200GHz and a τf value of -11 ppm/°C were obtained at 1000°C, confirming the promising potential of the CuO-added TiO2-Zn2SiO4 ceramics as candidate materials for low–temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) devices.

The comparison of the low temperature sintering and the microwave dielectric properties of Li2MgSiO4 (LMS) ceramics prepared by citrate gel (CG) route and solid state (SS) ceramic route are discussed in this paper. The LMS prepared using CG route sintered at 1175°C/2 h has εr = 5.3 and tan δ = 1 × 10−3 at 9 GHz. The sintering temperature of LMS is lowered to 950°C with the addition of 5 wt% lithium magnesium zinc borosilicate glass and has εr = 5.6 and tan δ = 2 × 10-3 at 9 GHz. The amount of glass required to lower the sintering temperature of ceramics prepared using CG are slightly higher than that of SS ceramic route. The LMS ceramics prepared using SS ceramic route shows excellent microwave dielectric properties with low sintering temperature compared to CG route.
