Abstract

A new type of lithium bismuth phosphate 3Li2O–Bi2O3–6P2O5 (3L1B6P) microwave dielectric ceramics were prepared via a conventional solid-state route. Crystal structure, microstructure, microwave dielectric properties and aluminum electrode co-firing compatibility of the 3L1B6P ceramics were investigated. The 3L1B6P ceramics mainly consists of a new phase similar to the NdLiP4O12 with monoclinic structure [C2/C(15)]. The 3L1B6P ceramics are composed of BiLiP4O12 grains of ~ 10 μm in length and ~ 2 μm in width and BiPO4 grains of ~ 1 μm in size. The 3L1B6P ceramic sintered at 625 °C shrinkage and the corresponding microwave dielectric properties are dielectric constant εr = 6.8, Q × f = 16,900 GHz and negative temperature coefficient of resonant frequency TCF = − 71 ppm/°C. More importantly, the 3L1B6P ceramic with ultra-low sintering temperature (625 °C) can be co-fired with aluminum electrode, which illustrates it can be applied for the ultra-low temperature co-fired ceramic (ULTCC) application.
