本研究以反應燒結法製備Bi0.97Ce0.03NbO4 (BCN)與BiNb0.96Sb0.04O4 (BNS4)與BiNb0.95Sb0.05O4 (BNS5)微波介電陶瓷,添加不同含量的燒結促進劑(CuO)並分析其微結構及微波介電特性。在實驗中,我們將粉末混和、球磨後,不經煆燒步驟直接壓模成型進行燒結。在X光繞射分析中顯示在低溫燒結下,其主要生成相為orthorhombic結晶構造的BiNbO4,並有少許triclinic結晶構造的BiNbO4產生,隨著CuO含量和燒結溫度的增加,triclinic晶系的含量也會隨之而增加。BCN2陶瓷中在950℃燒結,持溫時間6小時,可得到最佳密度值6.79 g/cm3,其微波特性為:εr~ 38,Qxf~1691 GHz,τf ~ -4.1 ppm/℃。BNS5陶瓷中在1000℃燒結,持溫時間4小時,可得到最佳密度值7.03 g/cm3,BNS5陶瓷在910℃燒結6小時有較佳的微波特性為: εr=41,Qxf=933 GHz,τf = -8.2 ppm/℃。
Ce-doped BiNbO4 ceramics and Sb-doped ones with CuO addition were prepared by using a reaction-sintering process. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the ceramics are mainly composed of orthorhombic BiNbO4 structures and a second phase of triclinic BiNbO4 structure is found. With the addition of CuO sintering aids, the sintering temperature can be lowered down 100~ 200℃ while keeping a similar apparent density. However, the triclinic BiNbO4 phase of the samples became more prominent as the CuO content or the sintering temperature increased. Bi0.97Ce0.03NbO4 ceramics, sintered at 950℃ for 6h with 2wt% CuO sintering aids, exhibited a maximum density of 6.79 g/cm3, and their microwave dielectric properties were as following: εr=38, Qxf=1691 GHz, and τf=-4.1 ppm/℃. BiNb0.95Sb0.05O4 ceramics sintered at 1000℃ for 4 h showed an apparent density of 7.03 g/cm3, and the one sintered at 910℃ for 6 h exhibited the following microwave dielectric properties: εr= 41, Qxf = 933 GHz, τf= -8.2 ppm/℃.
