In this study, (0.96 －x)(PSN-PZT)－xBF－0.04 PNW＋0.3wt%MnO$_2$＋0.6wt%CuO ceramics were fabricated with the variations of the amount of BiFeO$_3$substitution and sintering temperature for the development of modified ceramics which can be sintered in the low temperature($\leq$100$0^{\circ}C$ ), and their microstructural, dielectric and piezoelectric characteristics were investigated. As the amount of BiFeO$_3$ substitution was increased, the density, mechanical quality factor(Q$_{m}$) and electromechanical coupling factor(k$_{p}$) showed the maximum value at each of sintering temperature. At sintering temperature of 98$0^{\circ}C$ and BiFeO$_3$substitution of 2 mol%, the density, dielectric constant and electromechanical coupling factor(k$_{p}$) showed the maximum value of 7.84 g/㎤, 1415 and 0.49, respectively. And at sintering temperature of 95$0^{\circ}C$ and BiFeO$_3$substitution of 3mol%, mechanical quality factor showed the maximum value of 1062. 1062.
