Journal Article · · Materials Research Bulletin

Graphical abstract: The dielectric constant (ϵ) of the sintered BaO–B{sub 2}O{sub 3}–SiO{sub 2}/BaTiO{sub 3} glass/ceramics (the sintered samples with line shrinkage of 10%) changed from 5 to 30 and the dielectric losses (tanδ) was lower than 0.05 at 100 MHz with the amount of BaTiO{sub 3} additive increment from 60 wt% to 90 wt% fraction. - Highlights: • The ϵ of BaO–B{sub 2}O{sub 3}–SiO{sub 2} glass can be adjusted from 5 to 30 by adding BaTiO{sub 3}. • The influence factors on dielectric are the secondary phase and microstructure. • BaO–B{sub 2}O{sub 3}–SiO{sub 2}/BaTiO{sub 3} system can fabricate LTCC when BaTiO{sub 3} located in 60–80 wt%. - Abstract: This paper studied the preparation and characterization of LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramics) materials based on BaO–B{sub 2}O{sub 3}–SiO{sub 2}/BaTiO{sub 3} glass–ceramics, where the sintering temperature was about 900 °C and dielectric constant was effectively adjustable from 5 to 30 by changing the BaTiO{sub 3} fraction from 60 wt% to 90 wt%. X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to examine the effect of different amounts additive on the dielectric properties of this LTCC system and the crystal structure change. The results indicated that BaTiO{sub 3} can be used as a dielectric additive aim to adjust the permittivity of BaO–B{sub 2}O{sub 3}–SiO{sub 2} glass, which the main influence factors on dielectric are the contents of the secondary phase, the BaTiO{sub 3} phase fraction and the porous structure of the sintered body. Therefore, the microstructure and dielectric property of BaO–B{sub 2}O{sub 3}–SiO{sub 2}/BaTiO{sub 3} glass–ceramics composites could be controlled by adjusting the content of BaTiO{sub 3} additive.
