Low Temperature Sintered CaTiSiO₅-CaTiO₃ Dielectric Ceramics Doped by 2ZnO-B₂O₃

The dielectric ceramics of CaTiSiO5-CaTiO3 with ZnO and B2O3 as additives were sintered at 950ºC. Of the ceramics with a small quantity of 2ZnO-B2O3 as the additive, the density is nearly the same as the one reported, εr= 83 ~ 99, tgδ < 7×10-4, αε= (-100~+100) ppm/ºC. The crystal phases and microstructures are analyzed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. It is found that the sintered ceramics is of biphase, comprising monoclinic CaTiSiO5 and orthorhombic CaTiO3, and the grains are mostly the small circular ones, having diameters of 1~29m. By adjusting the composing of the ceramic, a high frequency dielectric ceramic CaTiSiO5-CaTiO3, of which αε= (-50~+50) ppm/ºC was attained.
