Abstract
The influence of B2O3-CuO addition on the sintering behavior, phase composition, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of BiSbO4 ceramic have been investigated. The BiSbO4 ceramics can be well densified to approach above 95% theoretical density in the sintering temperature range from 840 to 960 °C as the addition amount of B2O3-CuO increases from 0.6 to 1.2 wt.%. Sintered ceramic samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The microwave permittivity εr saturated at 19-20 and Qf values varied between 33,000 and 46,000 GHz while temperature coefficient of resonant frequency shifting between -70 and -60 ppm/°C at sintering temperature around 930 °C. Lowering sintering temperature of BiSbO4 ceramics makes it possible for application in low temperature co-fired ceramic technology.
