Abstract: Direct observations for high frequency microscopic dielectric distributions in cross sections of a multi-layer ceramic capacitor were carried out using non-contact type microwave probe. The measured data were imaged from the raw data and rounding data process. Using microwave reflection intensity mappings from cross sections of multi-layer ceramic capacitor, the dielectric permittivity distribution in micro-region of a multi-layer ceramic capacitor was measured at room temperature. The spatial resolution was experimentally estimated to be about 10 μm from mappings of the dielectric and inner electrode layers in a multi-layer ceramic capacitor.

Abstract: A new measuring method and analyzing procedure were proposed to determine the complex dielectric permittivity of materials with relatively high permittivity using an RF-impedance analyzer. Samples used for the measurement were (Ba0.6Sr0.4)TiO3 and Ba(Zr0.25Ti0.75)O3 ceramics. Micro planar electrodes were used for the measurement of complex admittance of these samples. Electromagnetic simulations were carried out for determining the relative dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss. The complex dielectric permittivity vs. frequency curves of Ba(Zr0.25Ti0.75)O3 showed a broad dielectric relaxation, while that of (Ba0.6Sr0.4)TiO3 was almost flat up to 3 GHz.
