Abstract

The influence of BaCu(B2O5) (BCB) addition on the sintering temperature and microwave dielectric properties of Ba5Nb4O15 ceramics has been investigated. The addition of small amount of BCB can effectively lower the sintering temperature of Ba5Nb4O15 ceramics from 1400 to 875 °C and induce no obvious degradation of the microwave dielectric properties. The reduced sintering temperature was attributed to the BCB liquid phase. Typically, the 1.5 wt% BCB-added Ba5Nb4O15 ceramic sintered at 875 °C for 2 h exhibited good microwave dielectric properties of Q × f = 28,655 GHz, εr = 40.2, and τf = 60 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.
