Description

Ultralow dielectric microwave dielectric ceramic Li 3zn 2bi 5o 11and preparation method thereof

Technical field

The present invention relates to dielectric ceramic material, particularly relate to dielectric ceramic material of the microwave devices such as ceramic substrate, resonator and the wave filter used for the manufacture of microwave frequency and preparation method thereof.

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, wave 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, telestar susceptor 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 characteristics 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 low dielectric loss tan δ to reduce noise, general requirement Qf>=3000GHz; (3) the temperature factor τ of resonant frequency _?little of as far as possible to ensure the thermostability that device has had, general requirement-10ppm/ DEG C≤τ _?≤+10ppm/ DEG C.From late 1930s, just someone attempts dielectric substance to be applied to microwave technology in the world, and prepares TiO ₂microwave dielectric filter, but its temperature coefficient of resonance frequency τ _?too greatly cannot be practical.Since the seventies in last century, start the large-scale development to medium ceramic material, according to relative permittivity ε _rsize from use frequency range different, usually the microwave-medium ceramics be developed and developing can be divided into 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 _?≤ 10ppm/ ° of C.Be mainly used in microwave base plate and high-end microwave device.

(2) low ε _rwith the microwave dielectric ceramic of high q-factor, 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=20 ~ 35, Q=(1 ~ 2) × 10 ⁴(under f>=10GHz), τ _?≈ 0.Be mainly used in the microwave communication equipments such as the direct broadcasting satellite of f >=8GHz as dielectric resonance device.

(3) medium ε _rwith the microwave dielectric ceramic of Q value, mainly with BaTi ₄o ₉, Ba ₂ti ₉o ₂₀(Zr, Sn) TiO ₄deng the MWDC material for base, its ε _r=35 ~ 45, Q=(6 ~ 9) × 10 ³(under f=3 ~-4GHz), τ _?≤ 5ppm/ ° of C.Be mainly used in microwave military radar in 4 ~ 8GHz range of frequency and communication system as dielectric resonance device.

(4) high ε _rand the microwave dielectric ceramic that Q value is lower, be 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 in succession find and have studied perovskite-like tungsten bronze type BaO-Ln 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 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 laminated ceramic capacitor altogether.In recent years, along with LTCC Technology (LowTemperatureCo-firedCeramics, the requirement of development LTCC) and the development of microwave multilayer device, researchist 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, tungstate architecture compound and tellurate architecture compound get the attention and research, but due to three performance index (ε of microwave dielectric ceramic _rwith Qf and τ _?) between be that the relation of mutually restriction is (see document: the restricting relation between microwave dielectric ceramic materials dielectric properties, Zhu Jianhua, Liang Fei, Wang little Hong, Lv Wenzhong, electronic component and material, phase March the 3rd in 2005), meet three performance requriementss 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 application request.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 microtexture and dielectric properties, 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.

We are to composition Li ₃zn ₂bi ₅o ₁₁, Li ₃zn ₂la ₅o ₁₁, Li ₃zn ₂nd ₅o ₁₁, Li ₃zn ₂sm ₅o ₁₁serial monocline new compound carried out the research of microwave dielectric property, but only have Li ₃zn ₂bi ₅o ₁₁sintering temperature lower than 900 DEG C, and has near-zero resonance frequency temperature coefficient and high quality factor; Li ₃zn ₂la ₅o ₁₁and Li ₃zn ₂sm ₅o ₁₁temperature coefficient of resonance frequency is bigger than normal, and Li ₃zn ₂nd ₅o ₁₁pottery is too high and do not find resonance peak at microwave frequency band dielectric loss for semi-conductor, can not apply as microwave-medium ceramics.
