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 950 degrees C. Of the ceramics with a small quantity of 2ZnO-B2O3 as the additive, the density is nearly the same as the one reported, epsilon(r) = 83 similar to 99, tg delta < 7 x 10(-4), alpha(epsilon) = (-100 similar to+100) ppm/degrees C. 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 similar to 2 mu m. By adjusting the composing of the ceramic, a high frequency dielectric ceramic CaTiSiO5-CaTiO3, of which alpha(epsilon) (50 similar to+-50) ppm/degrees C was attained.
