Background technology
Microwave dielectric ceramic refers to and to be applied in microwave frequency band (mainly UHF and SHF frequency range) circuit as dielectric material and to complete the pottery of one or more functions, the components and parts such as resonator, filter, dielectric substrate and medium wave circuit are widely used as in modern communication, it is the key foundation material of modern communication technology, in portable mobile phone, automobile telephone, cordless telephone, telstar recipient and military radar etc., there is very important application, in the miniaturization, integrated process of modern communication instrument, just playing increasing effect.
Be applied to the dielectric ceramic of microwave frequency band, the requirement of following dielectric property should be met: (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 to reduce noise, General Requirements Qf>=3000GHz; (3) the temperature coefficient τ of resonance frequency

The sintering temperature of these material systems is generally higher than 1300 ° of C above, can not directly and the low-melting-point metal such as Ag and Cu burn formation multilayer ceramic capacitor altogether.In recent years, along with LTCC Technology (LowTemperatureCo-firedCeramics, the requirement of development LTCC) and the development of microwave multilayer device, researcher both domestic and external has carried out exploring widely and studying to some low fever's system materials, mainly adopt devitrified glass or glassceramic composites system, because low-melting glass has relatively high dielectric loss mutually, the existence of glassy phase substantially increases the dielectric loss of material.Therefore development is the emphasis of current research without the low fired microwave dielectric ceramic material of glassy phase.
Can in the process of low fired microwave dielectric ceramic materials in exploration and development of new, the material systems such as the Li based compound that intrinsic sintering temperature is low, Bi based compound, tungstates architecture compound and tellurate architecture compound get the attention and research, but due to three performance index (ε of microwave dielectric ceramic

?) between be that the relation of mutually restriction is (see document: the restricting relation between microwave dielectric ceramic materials dielectric property, Zhu Jianhua, Liang Fei, Wang little Hong, Lv Wenzhong, electronic component and material, phase March the 3rd in 2005), meet three performance requirements and the single-phase microwave-medium ceramics of low temperature sintering is considerably less, mainly their temperature coefficient of resonance frequency is usually excessive or quality factor are on the low side and cannot production application.Current is the summary of experience drawn by great many of experiments to the research major part of microwave-medium ceramics, but complete theory is not had to set forth the relation of microstructure and dielectric property, therefore, in theory also cannot predict its microwave dielectric property such as temperature coefficient of resonance frequency and quality factor from the composition of compound and structure, which greatly limits the development of low temperature co-fired technology and microwave multilayer device.Explore and low-temperature sintering can have near-zero resonance frequency temperature coefficient (-10ppm/ DEG C≤τ with exploitation simultaneously
?≤+10ppm/ DEG C) be that those skilled in the art thirst for solving always but are difficult to the difficult problem that succeeds all the time with the microwave dielectric ceramic of higher figure of merit.
