Microwave dielectric properties and microstructures of (Ca0.8Sr0.2)ZrO3 ceramics prepared by the conventional solid-state route have been studied. The values of the dielectric constant (εr) were 22-26. The Q×f values of 10400–11500 GHz were obtained when the sintering temperatures were in the range of 1400–1490°C. The temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency τf was not sensitive to the sintering temperature. The εr value of 26, the Q×f value of 11500 GHz, and the τf value of-9 ppm/°C were obtained for (Ca0.8Sr0.2)ZrO3 ceramics sintering at 1490°C. The ceramic, (Ca0.8Sr0.2)ZrO3 is proposed as a suitable candidate material for application in highly selective microwave ceramic passive components.

The influence of CuO-V2O5-Bi2O3 addition on the sintering behavior, phase composition, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of Zn3Nb2O8 ceramics were investigated. The co- doping of CuO, V2O5 and Bi2O3 can significantly lower the sintering temperature of Zn3Nb2O8 ceramics from 1150°C to 900°C. The Zn3Nb2O8-0.5wt% CuO-0.5wt% V2O5-2.0wt% Bi2O3 ceramic sintered at 900°C showed a relative density of 97.1%, a dielectric constant (εr) of 18.2, and a quality factor (Q×f) of 36781 GHz. The dielectric properties in this system exhibited a significant dependence on the relative density, content of additives and sintering temperature. The relative density and dielectric constant (εr) of Zn3Nb2O8 ceramics increased with increasing CuO-V2O5-Bi2O3 additions. And also the relative density and dielectric constant of Zn3Nb2O8 ceramics increased by the augment of the sintering temperature.

The effects of CuO and V2O5 addition on sintering behaviors and microwave dielectric properties of 0.7Ca2P2O7-0.3TiO2 ceramics were investigated. With CuO and V2O5 addition, the sintering temperature of 0.7Ca2P2O7-0.3TiO2 can be effectively reduced from 1150 to 950oC. The dielectric constant of the low fired 0.7Ca2P2O7-0.3TiO2 ceramics was not significantly changed while the quality factor was affected by additives. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency value was increased in negative value with the additive contents. V2O5 and CuO additives effectively improved the densification and dielectric properties of 0.7Ca2P2O7-0.3TiO2 ceramics. The correlation between the phase constituents and the dielectric properties was investigated with additive contents.

The microstructure and dielectric properties of the complex perovskite Nd(Col/2Ti1/2)03ceramics with 60P2O5-15ZnO-5La2O3-5Al2O3-5N2O-5MgO-5Yb2O3glass additions from 1-2 wt% were prepared with the conventional solid-state route have been investigated. The resultant microwave dielectric properties were analyzed based upon the densification, the X-ray diffraction patterns and the microstructures of the ceramics. Doping with 60P2O5-15ZnO-5La2O3-5Al2O3- 5N2O-5MgO-5Yb2O3glass (up to 2 wt%) can effectively promote the densification of Nd(Co1/2Ti1/2)O3ceramics at low sintering temperature. A distinct sintering temperature reduction (100-200°C) can be achieved by adding 60P2O5-15ZnO-5La2O3-5Al2O3-5N2O-5MgO-5Yb2O3glass to the Nd(Co1/2Ti1/2)O3ceramics. The correlation between the microstructures and the microwave dielectric properties was also examined. The Nd(Co1/2Ti1/2)O3ceramics with 60P2O5-15ZnO-5La2O3- 5Al2O3-5N2O-5MgO-5Yb2O3glass additions can find applications in microwave devices requiring low sintering temperature.

The sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of the 16CaO-9Li2O-12Sm2O3-63TiO2 (abbreviated CLST) ceramics doped by small amount of LBS (Li2O-B2O3-SiO2) glass were investigated in this paper. The adding of LBS glass improved the densification of the CLST ceramics and the sintering temperature of the CLST ceramics had been efficiently lowered to 1000°C. Especially, the 10wt.% LBS doped CLST sintered at 1000°C for 3h has optimum microwave dielectric properties of Kr=69, Q×f=2846GHz, and TCF=9.7ppm/°C, indicating that it could be a suitable candidate for LTCC applications.

Effects of Nd substitution with Bi on the microwave dielectric properties of BiNbO4 were studied. Bi1−xNdxNbO4 ceramics sintered at 920–980 °C consisted of orthorhombic and triclinic phases. The amount of triclinic phase increased with the increase in the Nd content, x, and sintering temperature. The apparent density and the dielectric constant decreased with the Nd content, but increased with sintering temperature, reached the peak values at 960 °C and then rapidly decreased. The Q × f0 value was between 11,000 and 13,000 GHz over all sintering temperatures for x < 0.05, but for x ≥ 0.05 it reached the peak value at 950 °C and then rapidly decreased. The temperature coefficient of resonance frequency increased in the positive direction with the Nd content and showed the minimum value of −1.82 ppm/°C for x = 0.025 sintered at 940 °C. However, it rapidly increased in the negative direction for sintering temperature over 960 °C.

The effects of CuO-MoO3 addition on the sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of ZnO-TiO2 ceramics were investigated. ZnO-TiO2 ceramics were prepared with conventional solid-state method and sintered at temperatures from 850 to 1050 °C. The sintering temperature of ZnO-TiO2 ceramics with CuO-MoO3 addition could be effectively reduced to 950 °C due to the liquid phase effects resulting from the additives. A proper amount of CuO-MoO3 addition could effectively improve the densification and microwave dielectric properties of ZnO-TiO2 ceramics. ZnO-TiO2 ceramics with 3 wt% addition sintered at 950 °C for 4 h exhibited better microwave dielectric properties as follows: εr of 26.8, a Q×f value of 16780 GHz at 5.42 GHz, and a τ f value of +34.7 ppm/°C.

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.

A low-temperature co-fired composition with sintering temperature of <900 °C was developed using rare earth derived borate glass (La2O3-B2O3-TiO2) and a conventional BNT (BaONd2O3-TiO2) ceramic. The sintering behavior, phase evaluation, sintered morphology, and microwave dielectric properties were investigated. It was found that increasing the sintering temperature from 750 to 850°C leads to increases in shrinkage, densities and microwave dielectric properties (≈ 20 for εr and >8000 for Q*f0). However, after 850 °C , the values of these properties decreased. It is suggested therefore that this new composite has good potential as a new candidate for low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) materials.

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.

AbstractA novel series of temperature stable Li3Mg2NbO6–xTiO2 ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid-state route. The effects of TiO2 addition on the sintering behavior, phase composition, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties were investigated systematically. The dense microstructure could be obtained in low TiO2 content (x=0.1) samples sintered at 1100 °C. The dielectric constant εr was attributed to the bulk density and TiO2 content. The variation in Q×f values is related to the bulk density, and improved values could be obtained for Li3Mg2NbO6–0.1TiO2 ceramics. The quality factor (Q×f) had a maximum for x=0.1 and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf) value shifted towards positive direction with the increase of TiO2 addition. Notably, Li3Mg2NbO6–0.1TiO2 ceramics sintered at 1100 °C possessed excellent microwave dielectric properties: εr=15, Q×f =74,000 GHz(9.93GHz), τf= −3.4 ppm/°C, which made the ceramics as promising low loss and temperature stable candidates for millimeter-wave applications.
