Title: Direct-write, chemically-prepared temperature insensitive dielectrics.

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1030300

Development of high energy density dielectrics with low temperature coefficients of capacitance that are systems integrable are needed for extreme environment, defense and automotive applications. The synthesis of high purity chemically prepared Ca(Zr,Ti)O3 powders is described and has resulted in the lowering of conventional firing temperatures by over 100 C. Direct write aerosol spray deposition techniques have been used to fabricate high quality single layer and multilayer capacitors from these powders. The dielectric constants of the direct write capacitors are equivalent to those of fired bulk ceramics. Our presentation emphasizes the synthesis, phase evolution and microstructure development that has resulted in dielectrics with energy densities in excess of 3 J/cm3 with less than 1% change in dielectric constant over a 200 C temperature range.
