Low temperature sintering microwave dielectric ceramic Li 2nb 2wO 9and preparation method thereof

Technical field

The present invention relates to dielectric ceramic, particularly relate to microwave dielectric ceramic of the microwave devices such as medium substrate, resonator and wave filter that use in microwave frequency and preparation method thereof.

Background technology

Microwave dielectric ceramic refers to and is applied in microwave frequency band (being mainly UHF, SHF frequency range) circuit as dielectric material and completes the pottery of one or more functions, be widely used as the components and parts such as resonator, wave filter, dielectric substrate and medium guided wave loop in modern communication, it is the key foundation material of modern communication technology, at aspects such as portable mobile phone, automobile telephone, cordless telephone, telestar susceptor and military radars, very important application is arranged, in the miniaturization of modern communication instrument, integrated process, just bringing into play increasing effect.

Be applied to the dielectric ceramic of microwave frequency band, should meet the requirement of following dielectric characteristics: (1) seriation DIELECTRIC CONSTANT ε _rto adapt to the requirement of different frequency and different application occasion; (2) high quality factor q value or dielectric loss tan δ are to reduce noise, general requirement Qf>=3000 GHz; (3) the temperature factor τ of resonant frequency _?the as far as possible little thermostability to guarantee that device has had, general requirement-10/ ℃≤τ _?≤+10 ppm/ ℃.From late 1930s, just someone attempts dielectric substance is applied to microwave technology in the world.

According to relative permittivity ε _rsize from use the different of frequency range, usually the microwave dielectric ceramic be developed He developing can be divided into to 4 classes.

(1) ultralow dielectric microwave dielectric ceramic, main representative is Al ₂o ₃-TiO ₂, Y ₂baCuO ₅, MgAl ₂o ₄and Mg ₂siO ₄deng, its ε _r≤ 20, quality factor q * f>=50000GHz, τ _?≤ 10 ppm/ ° C.Be mainly used in microwave base plate and high-end microwave device.

(2) low ε _rwith the microwave dielectric ceramic of high Q value, be mainly BaO-MgO-Ta ₂o ₅, BaO-ZnO-Ta ₂o ₅or BaO-MgO-Nb ₂o ₅, BaO-ZnO-Nb ₂o ₅system or the composite system MWDC material between them.Its ε _r=25～30, Q=(1～2) * 10 ⁴(under f>=10 GHz), τ _?≈ 0.Be mainly used in the microwave communication equipments such as direct broadcasting satellite of f >=8 GHz as the dielectric resonance device.

(3) medium ε _rwith the microwave dielectric ceramic of Q value, be mainly with BaTi ₄o ₉, Ba ₂ti ₉o ₂₀(Zr, Sn) TiO ₄deng the MWDC material that is base, its ε _r=35 ~ 40, Q=(6～9) * 10 ³(f=3～-4GHz under), τ _?≤ 5 ppm/ ° C.Be mainly used in the interior microwave military radar of 4～8 GHz range of frequency and communication system as the dielectric resonance device.

(4) high ε _rand the lower microwave dielectric ceramic of Q value is mainly used in civilian mobile communcations system in 0.8～4GHz range of frequency, this is also the emphasis of microwave dielectric ceramic research.Since the eighties, the people such as Kolar, Kato find and have studied perovskite-like tungsten bronze type BaO-Ln in succession ₂o ₃-TiO ₂series (Ln=La, Sm, Nd or Pr etc. are called for short BLT system), complex perovskite structure CaO-Li ₂o-Ln ₂o ₃-TiO ₂series, lead base series material, Ca _1-xln _2x/3tiO ₃be contour ε _rmicrowave dielectric ceramic, the wherein BaO-Nd of BLT system ₂o ₃-TiO ₂material dielectric constant reaches 90, lead base series (Pb, Ca) ZrO ₃specific inductivity reaches 105.

The sintering temperature of above these material systems is generally higher than 1300 ° of C, can not be directly and the low melting point metals such as Ag and Cu burn altogether the formation laminated ceramic capacitor.In recent years, along with device miniaturization and integrated development, microwave-medium ceramics need to be low than metals such as Au, Pd with cost Ag or Cu electrode (fusing point is respectively 961 ℃ and 1042 ℃) burn altogether and obtain chip multilayer structure, the microwave dielectric property that this just requires material not only to have, and its sintering temperature will be lower than the fusing point of Cu, Ag.The low novel material system of intrinsic sintering temperature of exploring at present is mainly containing Bi ₂o ₃, Li ₂o, TeO ₂, V ₂o ₅deng the multicomponent composite oxide of low-melting component, comprising Bi ₂o ₃-ZnO-Nb ₂o ₅system pyrochlore-type compound, BiNbO ₄, Bi ₂mo ₂o ₉, Bi ₂w ₂o ₉, Bi ₃sbO ₇deng the Bi sill; Li _1+x-ym _1-x-3yti _x+4yo ₃(M=Nb, Ta), Ca (Li _1/3nb _2/3) O _3-&, Li ₂tiO ₃, Li ₃nbO ₄, Li ₂mgSiO ₄, Li ₂mgTiO ₄, Li ₂(M ²⁺) ₂mo ₃o ₁₂, Li ₃(M ³⁺) Mo ₃o ₁₂li sills such as (M=Zn, Ca, Al, In); BaTe ₄o ₉, Zn ₂te ₃o ₈, BaTiTe ₃o ₉deng the Te sill.

Due to easy and Ag electrode generation surface reaction and raw material TeO containing compounds such as Bi, Te, Mo ₂poisonously make the application of these Bi, Te, Mo sill be restricted.We are to consisting of Li ₂nb ₂wO ₉pottery carried out sintering characteristic and Study on microwave dielectric property, found that such pottery have excellent comprehensive microwave dielectric property simultaneously sintering temperature lower than 900 °c, can realize low temperature co-fired with Ag can being widely used in the manufacture of the microwave devices such as various resonators and wave filter, can meet the needs of low temperature co-fired technology and microwave multilayer device.
