Low-Temperature Ceramics Based on Wollastonite and Perovskite Modified with Al2O3–CuO–Li2CO3 for LTCC Technology
摘要
A ceramic composite was synthesized using β-CaSiO3 (wollastonite) with perovskite additives and an Al2O3–CuO–Li2CO3 sintering aid. This study examines the influence of sintering additives on the ceramic and dielectric properties of both CaSiO3/Al2O3–CuO–Li2CO3 and CaSiO3/CaTiO3–Al2O3–CuO–Li2CO3 systems. The thermal conductivity λ of the obtained samples ranged from 0.43 to 0.65 W/(m ∙ K), which is characteristic of wollastonite ceramics. The relative dielectric permittivity εr ranged from 4.9 to 8.0, the dielectric loss tangent (tan δ) was (15.3–17.9) × 10 –3 at a frequency f of 1 MHz, and the average density ρav was 2.44 – 2.63 g/cm3. Sintering was carried out at temperatures ranging from 875 to 950°C. The combination of these properties, along with low thermal conductivity λ, meets the criteria for thermally stable ceramic packages and substrates used in low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) microelectronics applications.
