Low Temperature Sintering Properties of Ti-Te System Ceramics for LTCC Application

LTCC응용을 위한 Ti-Te계 세라믹스의 저온소결 특성

In this study, low temperature sintering property of (1-x)$TiTe_{3}O_{8}-xMgTiO_{3}$ ceramics were investigated for LTCC application which enable to cofiring with Ag electrode. $TiTe_{3}O_{8}$ mixed with $MgTiO_3$ to improve the temperature property. In the X-ray diffraction patterns, the columbite structure of $TiTe_{3}O_{8}$ phase and ilmenite structure of $MgTiO_3$ phase were coexisted in all specimens. The bulk densities and dielectric constants were decreased with increasing of $MgTiO_3$. However, the quality factors were increased with $MgTiO_3$ addition. Also, TCRF was shifted to negative(-) direction. Microwave dielectric properties of (1-x)$TiTe_{3}O_{8}-xMgTiO_{3}$ ceramics had similar tendency with calculated value by the mixing rule. The dielectric constant, quality factor and TCRF of $05TiTe_{3}O_{8}-0.5MgTiO_{3}$ ceramics sintered at $830^{\circ}C$ for 3h. were 26.19, 43,290GHz and $-3.9ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively.
