In this paper, microwave sintering (MS) technology has been applied in the preparation of ferromagnetic-ferroelectric composites. Several kinds of (Ni{sub 0.3}Zn{sub 0.6}Cu{sub 0.1})Fe{sub 2}O{sub 4} (NiCuZn) ferrite with different contents of BaTiO{sub 3}(BT) have been fabricated by MS technology. We found that the sintering time and temperature were significantly reduced from 22 h and 1100 deg. C for the conventional sintering (CS) process to 2 h and 840 deg. C for MS process, respectively. Experiments show that MS treated NiCuZn-BT composites possess both excellent ferromagnetic and ferroelectric properties. For the composites of NiCuZn added with 15% BaTiO{sub 3}, the real part of permittivity is larger than 50 below 20 MHz and the real part of dielectric constant is larger than 18 below 1 GHz. Our results indicate that the microwave sintering method is a potential important technique in LTCC technology.
