In this paper, the effects of glass-ceramics sintering aid, La2O3–B2O3–CaO–P2O5 (LBCP), on the sinterability, microstructure, and microwave dielectric properties of 0.5(Ca[Formula: see text]Nd[Formula: see text]TiO3–0.5(Li[Formula: see text]Nd[Formula: see text]TiO3 (CNT–LNT) ceramic have been investigated. The results indicated that LBCP glass-ceramics has good wettability to CNT–LNT (contact angle at 980[Formula: see text]C is 31.9[Formula: see text]), and it can be used as an effective sintering aid to reduce the sintering temperature of CNT–LNT ceramic from 1300[Formula: see text]C to 980[Formula: see text]C. LBCP glass-ceramics did not change the main crystal phase (perovskite structure) of the sample, but a small amount of LaBO3 and LaPO4 phases was precipitated. Since the LaBO3 and LaPO4 phases are low-loss phases, it is believed that the crystal phases can improve the dielectric properties of the sample, especially the dielectric loss. The samples with 10 wt.% of glass additive sintered for 4 h at 980[Formula: see text]C exhibit the optimized properties: a high dielectric constant of 80.8 and a [Formula: see text] value of 2031 GHz. The high [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] value, coupled with a relatively low sintering temperature, suggest that the optimized compositions have the potential to be used in microwave low-temperature co-fired ceramics applications.

The desirable characteristics of Ba 6-3x Nd 8+2x Ti 18 O 54 include high dielectric constant, low loss tangent, and high quality factor developed a new field for electronic applications. The microwave dielectric properties of Ba 6-3x Nd 8+2x Ti 18 O 54, with x = 0.15 ceramics at different sintering temperatures (600–1300°C) were investigated. The phenomenon of polarization produced by the applied electric field was studied. The dielectric properties with respect to frequency from 1 MHz to 1.5 GHz were measured using Impedance Analyzer, and the results were compared and analyzed. The highest dielectric permittivity and lowest loss factor were defined among the samples. The complex dielectric modulus was evaluated from the measured parameters of dielectric measurement in the same frequency range, and used to differentiate the contribution of grain and grain boundary.

Effects of V 2 O 5 addition on the microwave dielectric properties of 16 CaO -9 Li 2 O -12 Sm 2 O 3-63 TiO 2 (abbreviated CLST) ceramics prepared by conventional mixed oxides method were investigated as a function of V 2 O 5 content and sintering temperature. All the specimens were sintered between 1100°C and 1250°C. The sintering temperature of the CLST ceramics was lowered by 100°C with V 2 O 5 addition. With the changing content of V 2 O 5, the dielectric constants lie between 88.6 and 108.2, while the Q × f values are between 3275 and 6573 GHz. Especially, the specimens doped by 0.75 wt% V 2 O 5 sintered at 1200°C and 1250°C for 3 h show good microwave dielectric properties with Kr =100.4-108.2, Q × f >4500 GHz , and TCF=7-8 ppm/°C. Obviously, V 2 O 5 could be used as a suitable sintering aid that could improve densification and microwave dielectric properties of the CLST ceramics.

The effect of V2O5addition on the microstructures and the microwave dielectric properties of 0.9CaWO4-0.1Mg2SiO4(9CWMS) ceramics prepared by conventional solid-state routes have been investigated. The V2O5were selected as liquid phase sintering aids to lower the sintering temperature of 9CWMS ceramics. A small amount of V2O5(0.25~1 wt%) were used for sintering aid and led to high densification at 1050°C. The dielectric properties of 9CWMS ceramics with V2O5additions are strongly dependent on the densification, the microstructure. As the amount of V2O5additives increased from 0.25 to 1.0 wt%, the dielectric constantsεrdecreased following the trend with density. The quality valuesQdecreased with the increase of V2O5amount for all sintering temperatures. The 0.25 wt% V2O5-doped 0.9CaWO4-0.1Mg2SiO4ceramicssintered at 1080°C for 2 h had the optimum dielectric properties: εr= 5.7;Q×f= 73000 (at 14 GHz).

A new low sintering temperature microwave dielectric ceramic, Li2ZnTi3O8, was investigated. X-ray diffraction data show that Li2ZnTi3O8 has a cubic structure [P4332(212)] with lattice parameters a = 8.37506 Å, V = 587.44 Å3, and Z = 4 when the sintering temperature is 1050 °C. The Li2ZnTi3O8 ceramic exhibits good microwave dielectric properties with εr about 26.2, Q×f value about 62,000 GHz, and τf about −15 ppm/°C. The addition of BaCu(B2O5) can effectively lower the sintering temperature from 1050 to 900 °C without degrading the microwave dielectric properties. Compatibility with Ag electrode indicates this material can be applied to low temperature cofired ceramic devices.

In this study, 2BaO-3B2O3 (BB) glass was used as a sintering aid to lower the sintering temperature of Ba2Ti9O20 ceramics. Microwave Characteristics of the BB-added Ba2Ti9O20 ceramics sintered at different temperatures were investigated. The crystalline phases of BB-Ba2Ti9O20 ceramics are Ba2Ti9O20, BaTi(BO3)2 and TiO2. Good microwave dielectric properties (εr = 26, Q*f = 28770GHz and τf = 14.6ppm/oC) were obtained by sintering the BB-added Ba2Ti9O20 ceramics at 1040oC for 2 h.

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 effect of CuO/B2O3 additions on the sintering behaviors, microstructures, and microwave dielectric properties of 0.95LaAlO3–0.05CaTiO3 ceramics is investigated. It is found that the sintering temperatures are lowered efficiently from 1600 °C to 1350 °C, as 1 wt % CuO, 1 wt % B2O3, and 0.5 wt % CuO +0.5 wt % B2O3 are used as the sintering aids due to the appearance of the liquid phase sintering. The microwave dielectric properties of 0.95LaAlO3–0.05CaTiO3 ceramics with the sintering aid additions are strongly related to the densification and the microstructure of the sintered ceramics. At the sintering temperature of 1300 °C, the 0.95LaAlO3–0.05CaTiO3 ceramic with 0.5 wt % CuO + 0.5 wt % B2O3 addition shows the best dielectric properties, including a dielectric constant (εr) of 21, approximate quality factor (Q × f) of 22,500 GHz, and a temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency (τf) of −3 ppm/°C.

Sintering characteristics and microwave dielectric properties of Mg4Ta2O9–5[Formula: see text]wt% B2O3 ceramics were investigated. With the sintering temperature increasing in the range of 1100[Formula: see text]C–1350[Formula: see text]C, the apparent density, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] values increased firstly and then saturated at 1250[Formula: see text]C with excellent microwave properties: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]GHz and [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]ppm/[Formula: see text]C. Compared to the pure MT ceramics, the B2O3 additives effectively decreased the sintering temperature of MT ceramics and had no detrimental effect on the properties of the MT ceramics due to the liquid phase effect.
