Background technology
Microwave dielectric ceramic refers to be applied in microwave frequency band (mainly UHF and SHF frequency range) circuit as dielectric material
And complete the pottery of one or more functions, modern communication is widely used as resonator, wave filter, dielectric substrate and medium
The components and parts such as wave circuit, are the key foundation materials of modern communication technology, in portable mobile phone, automobile telephone, nothing
The aspect such as rope phone, telstar recipient and military radar has highly important application, small-sized at modern communication instrument
Change, integrated during just playing increasing effect.
It is applied to the dielectric ceramic of microwave frequency band, should meet the requirement of following dielectric property: (1) seriation permittivity εr
To adapt to different frequency and the requirement of different application occasion;(2) high quality factor q value or dielectric loss tan δ make an uproar to reduce
Sound, typically requires Qf >=3000 GHz;(3) the temperature coefficient τ of resonant frequencyƒThe least to ensure the heat that device has had
Stability, general requirement-10 ppm/DEG C≤τƒ≤+10 ppm/℃.Just have tried to from late 1930s in the world by
Dielectric substance is applied to microwave technology, and prepares TiO2Microwave dielectric filter, but its temperature coefficient of resonance frequency τƒToo
Greatly cannot be practical.Since the seventies in last century, start the large-scale development to medium ceramic material, according to
Relative dielectric constant εrSize different from use frequency range, generally can have been developed that and the microwave-medium ceramics developed
It is divided into 4 classes.
(1) ultralow dielectric microwave dielectric ceramic, main representative is Al2O3-TiO2、Y2BaCuO5、MgAl2O4With
Mg2SiO4Deng, its εr≤ 20, quality factor q × f >=50000GHz, τƒ≤10 ppm/°C.It is mainly used in microwave base plate and height
End microwave device.
(2) low εrWith the microwave dielectric ceramic of high q-factor, mainly BaO-MgO-Ta2O5, BaO-ZnO-Ta2O5Or BaO-
MgO-Nb2O5,BaO-ZnO-Nb2O5System or the hybrid system MWDC material between them.Its εr=20~35, Q=(1~2) ×
104(under the GHz of f >=10), τƒ≈0.As medium in the microwave communication equipments such as the direct broadcasting satellite being mainly used in f >=8 GHz
Resonating device.
(3) medium εrWith the microwave dielectric ceramic of Q value, it is mainly with BaTi4O9、Ba2Ti9O20(Zr, Sn) TiO4Etc. for
The MWDC material of base, its εr=35 ~ 45, Q=(6~9) × 103(under f=3~-4GHz), τƒ≤5 ppm/°C.It is mainly used in 4
~8 in microwave military radar in GHz frequency range and communication system as dielectric resonance device.
(4) high εrAnd the microwave dielectric ceramic that Q value is relatively low, in being mainly used in 0.8~4GHz frequency range, civilian movement is led to
News system, this is also the emphasis of microwave dielectric ceramic research.Since the eighties, Kolar, Kato et al. in succession find and have studied
Perovskite-like tungsten bronze type BaO Ln2O3—TiO2Series (Ln=La, Sm, Nd or Pr etc. are called for short BLT system), composite perofskite
Structure C aO Li2O—Ln2O3—TiO2Series, lead base series material, Ca1-xLn2x/3TiO3It is contour εrMicrowave dielectric ceramic,
The wherein BaO Nd of BLT system2O3—TiO2Material dielectric constant reaches 90, lead base series (Pb, Ca) ZrO3Dielectric constant reaches
To 105.
The sintering temperature of the above material system is generally greater than 1300 ° of C, it is impossible to directly golden with the low melting point such as Ag and Cu
Belong to burning altogether and form multilayer ceramic capacitor.In recent years, along with LTCC Technology (Low Temperature Co-fired
Ceramics, LTCC) development and microwave multilayer device development requirement, researcher both domestic and external is to some low fever's systems
Material has carried out exploring widely and studying, and mainly uses devitrified glass or glassceramic composites system, because of low melting point
Glass has of a relatively high dielectric loss mutually, and the existence of glass phase substantially increases the dielectric loss of material.Therefore nothing is developed
The low fired microwave dielectric ceramic material of glass phase is the emphasis of current research.
Explore novel with exploitation can be during low fired microwave dielectric ceramic materials, the Li base that intrinsic sintering temperature is low
The material systems such as compound, Bi based compound, tungstates architecture compound and tellurate architecture compound get the attention with
Research, but due to three performance indications (ε of microwave dielectric ceramicrWith Q f and τƒBetween) be mutually restriction relation (see
Document: the restricting relation between microwave dielectric ceramic materials dielectric properties, Zhu Jianhua, Liang Fei, Wang little Hong, Lv Wenzhong, electronic component
With 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 the most excessive or quality factor are on the low side and cannot application request.The most right
The research major part of microwave-medium ceramics is the summary of experience drawn by great many of experiments, does not but have complete theory to illustrate
Microstructure and the relation of dielectric properties, therefore, the most also cannot predict its resonance from the composition of compound with structure
The microwave dielectric property such as frequency-temperature coefficient and quality factor, which greatly limits low temperature co-fired technology and microwave is many
The development of layer device.Explore with exploitation can low-temperature sintering have simultaneously near-zero resonance frequency temperature coefficient (-10 ppm/DEG C≤
τƒ≤+10 ppm/ DEG C) with the microwave dielectric ceramic of higher figure of merit be those skilled in the art thirst for solving always but all the time
It is difficult to the difficult problem succeeded.
Summary of the invention
It is an object of the invention to provide and a kind of have good heat endurance and low-loss, low temperature sintering is ultralow simultaneously
Dielectric constant microwave dielectric ceramic material and preparation method thereof.
