Silver in LTCC - Interfacial reactions, transport processes and influence on properties of ceramics
(2009)
By addition of LiF-containing sintering additives to commercial BaTiO3 powder, more than 98% of the theoretical density was reached at a sintering temperature of 900 °C both on powder compacts and laminates. Dielectric measurements were performed on ceramic samples in the temperature and frequency ranges from -20 °C to 125 °C and from 103 to 106 Hz, respectively. High relative permittivity (εr ~ 3160) and low dielectric loss (tan δ ~ 0.014) were measured for tapes of the favoured material. The breakdown strength for tapes with a thickness of about 80 µm is 30 kV/mm. The microprobe analysis showed, that no interfacial reaction between the dielectric layer and the Ag-electrode had occurred.
The newly developed barium titanate ceramics completely densifying at 900 °C turned out to be promising for integration of buried capacitors in LTCC multilayers.
The sintering temperature of BaTiO3 powder was reduced to 900 °C due to the ZnO-B2O3-Li2O-Nb2O5-Co2O3 addition. Excellent densification was achieved after sintering at 900 °C for 2 h. The low sintering temperature of newly developed capacitor materials allows a co-firing with pure silver electrodes. The dielectric constant and the temperature stability of the dielectric constant are strongly correlated with the composition of the ZnO-B2O3-Li2O additives. A high dielectric constant up to 3000 and a dielectric loss less than 0.024 were measured on multilayer capacitors sintered at 900 °C with silver inner electrodes.
Due to addition of minor amounts of suitable additive combinations to BaTiO3 powder the sintering temperature was reduced to 900 °C. Excellent densification (more than 98% of theoretical density) and good dielectric properties were achieved after sintering at 900 °C for 2 hours. Dielectric properties can be improved by modifying the composition of sintering additives and additon of further dopants. The low sintering temperature of newly developed capacitor material allows a co-sintering with pure silver electrodes. No interfacial reaction between silver electrodes and ceramics was observed by microprobe analysis. The dielectric constants of about 1200 to 3000 and the dielectric losses of about 0.008 to 0.02 were measured (f = 1 kHz, T = 25 °C). The temperature dependency of dielectric constant for new capacitor materials is low, almost X7R characteristics. Furthermore, the densification and the dielectric properties of embedded capacitors in LTCC were investigated.
