Abstract
(Zr0.8Sn0.2)TiO4 (ZST) microwave dielectric ceramic powders were prepared by a hydrothermal-molten salt method at 1000 °C. The co-firing compatibility between (Zr0.8Sn0.2)TiO4 (ZST) microwave dielectric ceramics and NiZn (NZ) ferrites was investigated. To reduce the sintering temperature of ZST, 2 wt% ZnO and 2 wt% Bi2O3 were added as sintering aids, which is abbreviated as ZSTC. An interlayer material Z1N1 (with a mass ratio of ZST to NZ of 1:1) was designed to reduce the shrinkage difference between ZST and NZ. Laminated composites of ZST-Z1N1-NZ were prepared by hot-pressing and dry-pressing forming processes respectively, and their microstructure, interfacial diffusion behavior, and dielectric properties (1 MHz) were studied. The results show that the samples prepared by hot-pressing have a better microstructure and exhibit better dielectric properties. The introduction of the Z1N1 interlayer significantly improves the interfacial bonding, reduces cracks, and lowers the optimal sintering temperature from 1275 °C to 1250 °C. The dielectric constant is 34.3, and the dielectric loss is reduced by an order of magnitude from 10−1 to 10−2.
