Abstract
The synthesis, characterization, and sintering of sol–gel derived cordierite ceramics are investigated in the present paper. Synthesis was carried out by optimizing two main preparation parameters. The effect of the heat-treatment schedule on crystallization and the properties of crystalline phases were analyzed. The additives B2O3 and P2O5 were utilized to promote the crystallization or transformation to α-cordierite and sintering. This material has a low dielectric constant and a low dissipation factor and can be co-fired with high conductivity metals such as Au, Ag/Pd, Cu paste at low temperature (below 1000 °C), suggesting that it would be a promising material for high-frequency MLCIs.
