摘要

A low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) material based on Co-doped Li2Mg3TiO6 (Li2Mg2.975Co0.025TiO6) with excellent microwave dielectric properties has been developed in this study. The effects of Li2O-B2O3-Bi2O3-SiO2 (LBBS) glass addition on the phase composition, microstructure, and dielectric properties of Li2Mg2.975Co0.025TiO6 ceramics sintered at 900 °C were systematically investigated. Furthermore, CaTiO3 was incorporated to tune the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf) to near-zero. The results indicate that the Li2Mg2.975Co0.025TiO6 + 7 wt.% LBBS ceramic sintered at 900°C exhibits optimal comprehensive performance with a dielectric constant (εr) of 11.65, a quality factor (Q × f) of 53,599 GHz, and a τf of − 30.1 ppm/oC. After optimization with 8 wt.% CaTiO3 addition, the final ceramic composition (Li2Mg2.975Co0.025TiO6 + 7 wt.% LBBS + 8 wt.% CaTiO3) achieves excellent dielectric properties: εr = 12.41, Q × f = 41,335 GHz, and τf =  − 0.92 ppm/ oC. Chemical compatibility tests confirm that this ceramic material demonstrates outstanding compatibility with Ag electrodes, exhibiting no chemical reactions or element diffusion after co-firing. The developed ceramic material satisfies the processing temperature requirements for LTCC technology and possesses promising potential for application in microwave passive components.
