摘要
The addition of B2O3 to Ba5Nb4O15-BaNb2O6 significantly lowered the sintering temperature to similar to900 degreesC in comparison to similar to1250 degreesC for samples without B2O3. The presence of a B2O3-rich intergranular phase in the sample was observed, which was attributed to the presence of a liquid phase during sintering. The barium metaniobate, BaNb2O6 has two polymorphs, with orthorhombic and hexagonal forms. A major contributor to microwave dielectric properties of low-fired samples is the low temperature phase, hexagonal BaNb2O6. The small amount of hexagonal BaNb2O6 could tune tau(f) of Ba5Nb4O15. Therefore, Ba5Nb4O15-BaNb2O6 with B2O3 can be a suitable for low-temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC), due to its reduced sintering temperature and good microwave dielectric properties: Q x f = 28 000 GHZ, epsilon(r) and tau(f) are 42 and 0 ppm/degreesC, respectively. The chemical compatibility of silver electrodes and low-fired samples has also been investigated. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
