Abstract
The effects of BaCu(B2O5) (BCB) additions on the sintering temperature and microwave dielectric properties of Ba2Ti3Nb4O18 ceramic have been investigated. The addition of BCB can lower the sintering temperature of Ba2Ti3Nb4O18 ceramic from 1,250 to 900 °C and induce no obvious degradation of the microwave dielectric properties. Typically, the 5 wt% BCB added Ba2Ti3Nb4O18 ceramic sintered at 900 °C for 2 h exhibited good microwave dielectric properties of Q × f = 17,600 GHz, ε r = 38.2 and τ f = 7 ppm/°C. The dielectric ceramic demonstrated stability against the reaction with the Ag electrode, which suggests that the ceramics could be applied in multilayer microwave devices requiring low sintering temperatures.
