Abstract Low-loss tungsten-bronze microwave dielectric ceramics are a kind of dielectric materials with potential application value for miniaturized dielectric filters and antennas in 5G communication technology. In this work, a novel Al/Nd co-doping method of Ba4Nd9.33Ti18O54 (BNT) ceramics with a chamical formula of Ba4Nd9.33+z/3Ti18-zAlzO54 (BNT-AN, 0 ≤ z ≤ 2) was proposed to improve the dielectric properties through structural and defect modulation. Together with Al-doped ceramics (Ba4Nd9.33Ti18-zAl4z/3O54, BNT-A, 0 ≤ z ≤ 2) for comparison, the ceramics were prepared by solid state method. It is found that Al/Nd co-doping method has a significant effect on improving the dielectric properties compared with Al doping. As the doping amount z increased, the relative dielectric constant (εr) and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf) of the ceramics decreased, and the Q×f values of the ceramics obviously increased when z ≤ 1.5. Excellent microwave dielectric properties of εr = 72.2, Q×f = 16480 GHz, and τf = +14.3 ppm/℃ were achieved in BNT-AN ceramics with z = 1.25. Raman spectroscopy and thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) technique were firstly combined to analyze the structure and defects in the dielectric ceramics. It is shown that the improvement on Q×f values were origined from the decrease in the strength of the A-site cation vibration and the concentration of oxygen vacancies (Vö), demonstrating the effect and mechanism underlying for structural and defect modulation on the performance improvement of microwave dielectric ceramics.

Microwave dielectric ceramics of Mg4Nb2O9were prepared by the solid-state method and their microwave dielectric properties and microstructure were investigated in this study. The sintering ability and microwave dielectric properties of Mg4Nb2O9ceramics were studied under various sintering temperatures ranging from 1200°C to 1350°C. As the sintering temperature increased from 1200°C to 1350°C, the density values, the εr values and the Q·ƒ values increased and saturated at 1350°C.The ƒ values were ranged from -48.7 to -57.8 ppm/°C. Due to the increased density and appropriate grain growth the Mg4Nb2O9ceramics sintered at 1350°C had the excellent microwave dielectric properties of εr=12.3, Q·ƒ =108,000GHz and ƒ=-55.3ppm/°C.

BaCu(B2O5) (BCB) powder was prepared using BaO,CuO and B2O3 as the main materials. Microwave dielectric ceramics of tungsten–bronze-type BaSm2Ti4O12 (BST) were prepared by doping BCB as the sintering aid. The amount of BCB was varied from 1.0 to 10.0wt.%. The microstructure and dielectric properties of BST were investigated. The sintering temperature of BST ceramics with 6.0wt.% BCB addition can be effectively reduced to 900 oC, about 450 oC lower than that of pure BST ceramics. Good microwave dielectric properties of εr = 62.38, Q×f = 4573 GHz and τf = -27.65 ppm/ oC were achieved.

Abstract Ba4Nd9.33Ti18-zAl4z/3O54 (BNT-A, 0 ≤ z ≤ 2) and Ba4Nd9.33+z/3Ti18-zAlzO54 (BNT-AN, 0 ≤ z ≤ 2) ceramics were prepared by solid state method, and the effects of the two doping methods on microwave dielectric properties were compared. As the doping amount z increased, the relative dielectric constant (εr) and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf) values of the ceramics decreased, and the quality factor (Q, usually expressed by Q×f, where f is the resonant frequency) of the ceramics obviously increased when z ≤ 1.5. With the same z value, the εr and Q×f values of Al/Nd co-doped ceramics are both higher than those of Al-doped ceramics. Rietveld refinement, Raman spectroscopy and thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) technique were applied to clarify the relationship among the structure, defects and microwave dielectric properties. It is shown that the Q×f values of those ceramics were closely related to the strength of the A-site cation vibration and the concentration of oxygen vacancies (B). Excellent microwave dielectric properties of εr = 72.2, Q×f = 16480 GHz, and τf = +14.3 ppm/℃ were achieved in BNT-AN ceramics with z = 1.25.

The B2O3-CuO oxide mixture (abbreviated as BC) was selected to lower the sintering temperature of (Ca0.9375Sr0.0625)0.25(Li0.5Sm0.5)0.75TiO3 (abbreviated as CSLST) microwave dielectric ceramics by solid sate reaction technique. The effects of BC doping amounts on the crystal structure, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics were investigated. For the ceramic sample with the composition of CSLST + 5 wt% BC, its sintering temperature was reduced to 1000 °C as compared to 1200 °C for pure CSLST. In addition to the obtained good microwave dielectric properties as follows: εr = 80.4, Q×f = 1380 GHz, τf = -32.89 ×10-6/°C, this ceramic was a desirable high-permittivity microwave dielectric candidate for low-temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) applications.

The sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of the (Ca0.9375Sr0.0625)0.25(Li0.5Sm0.5)0.75TiO3 (CSLST) ceramics doped with different amounts of Li2O-B2O3-SiO2-CaO-Al2O3 (LBSCA) glass were investigated. The sintering temperature of the CSLST ceramics can be effectively reduced over 200oC due to the addition of LBSCA glass. For the 5 wt% LBSCA-doped CSLST ceramics, which are sintered at only 1000 oC for 5 h, show optimum microwave dielectric properties as follows: εr=84.74, Qf=2446 GHz and τf=-12.48 ppm/oC.

Ca1-x(Li1/2Sm1/2)xTiO3 microwave dielectric ceramics in the x range of 0.70 ~ 0.80 were prepared by conventional ceramics fabrication technique. The crystal structure, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties were investigated. The results showed that a single orthorhombic perovskite structure formed within this x range, and the substitution of (Li1/2Sm1/2)2+ ion for Ca2+ ion in A-site has a significant influence on the microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics. With the increase of substitution of (Li1/2Sm1/2)2+ ion with 0.75, the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency τf reaches zero, and it could be attributed that the Sm and Li have a polarizability effect according to its microstructure. The Ca0.25(Li1/2Sm1/2)0.75TiO3 ceramic had a good performance with microwave dielectric properties of τf = 0 ppm/°C, εr = 105.83, and Qf = 3170 GHz.

AbstractThe explosive process of 5G communication evokes the urgent demand of miniaturized and integrated dielectric ceramics filter. It is a pressing need to advance the development of dielectric ceramics utilization of emerging technology to design new materials and understand the polarization mechanism. This review provides the summary of the study of microwave dielectric ceramics (MWDCs) sintered higher than 1000 from 2010 up to now, °C with the purpose of taking a broad and historical view of these ceramics and illustrating research directions. To date, researchers endeavor to explain the structure-property relationship of ceramics with multitude of approaches and design a new formula or strategy to obtain excellent microwave dielectric properties. There are variety of factors that impact the permittivity, dielectric loss, and temperature stability of dielectric materials, covering intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Many of these factors are often intertwined, which can complicate new dielectric material discovery and the mechanism investigation. Because of the various ceramics systems, pseudo phase diagram was used to classify the dielectric materials based on the composition. In this review, the ceramics were firstly divided into ternary systems, and then brief description of the experimental probes and complementary theoretical methods that have been used to discern the intrinsic polarization mechanisms and the origin of intrinsic loss was mentioned. Finally, some perspectives on the future outlook for high-temperature MWDCs were offered based on the synthesis method, characterization techniques, and significant theory developments.

AbstractAB2O4-type spinels with low relative permittivity (εr) and high quality factor (Q × f) are crucial to high-speed signal propagation systems. In this work, Zn2+/Ge4+ co-doping to substitute Ga3+ in ZnGa2O4 was designed to lower the sintering temperature and adjust the thermal stability of resonance frequency simultaneously. Zn1+xGa2−2xGexO4 (0.1 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.5) ceramics were synthesised by the conventional solid-state method. Zn2+/Ge4+ co-substitution induced minimal variation in the macroscopical spinel structure, which effectively lowered the sintering temperature from 1385 to 1250 °C. All compositions crystallized in a normal spinel structure and exhibited dense microstructures and excellent microwave dielectric properties. The compositional dependent quality factor was related to the microstructural variation, being confirmed by Raman features. A composition with x = 0.3 shows the best dielectric properties with εr ≈ 10.09, Q × f ≈ 112,700 THz, and τf ≈ −75.6 ppm/°C. The negative τf value was further adjusted to be near-zero through the formation of composite ceramics with TiO2.

Li4Ti5O[Formula: see text] ceramics with different amount of MoO2 addition were densified at 850[Formula: see text]C via a solid-state reaction route. Pure phases and dense crystal morphology were obtained. Our experimental results indicated that the [Formula: see text] value of the Li4Ti5O[Formula: see text] ceramic can be adjusted to near zero via adopting suitable amount of MoO2 addition. Among all the modified Li4Ti5O[Formula: see text] specimens, the sample with 4 wt.% of MoO2 addition (marked as LM4 in this paper) possessed good microwave dielectric properties: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] GHz (7.99 GHz), [Formula: see text] ppm/[Formula: see text]C. It is suggested that the MoO2 modified Li4Ti5O[Formula: see text] ceramics are suitable candidates for LTCC applications in microwave devices.
