Study and Development of Low-Temperature Co-Fired Ceramics for High-Frequency Microwave Devices

Abstract

We report the results of the theoretical study and experimental development of a technique for fabricating low-temperature co-fired ceramics used in microwave devices and the results of the calculation and fabrication of two ceramic slips made with different types of glass for the formation of low-temperature co-fired green ceramic tape. It has been experimentally confirmed that the developed binding composition exhibits properties similar to those of Ferro A6M ceramics. It is demonstrated that the glass-forming components BaO and PbO make it possible to increase the permittivity and decrease the dissipation factor of the entire material. The main characteristics of the obtained material are compared with those of low-temperature co-fired Ferro A6M ceramics.
