Solid-State-Activated Sintering of ZnAl2O4 Ceramics Containing Cu3Nb2O8 with Superior Dielectric and Thermal Properties
2022
Overview
Low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCCs) are dielectric materials that can be co-fired with Ag or Cu; however, conventional LTCC materials are mostly poorly thermally conductive, which is problematic and requires improvement. We focused on ZnAl2O4 (gahnite) as a base material. With its high thermal conductivity (~59 W·m−1·K−1 reported for 0.83ZnAl2O4–0.17TiO2), ZnAl2O4 is potentially more thermally conductive than Al2O3 (alumina); however, it sinters densely at a moderate temperature (~1500 °C). The addition of only 4 wt.% of Cu3Nb2O8 significantly lowered the sintering temperature of ZnAl2O4 to 910 °C, which is lower than the melting point of silver (961 °C). The sample fired at 960 °C for 384 h exhibited a relative permittivity (εr) of 9.2, a quality factor by resonant frequency (Q × f) value of 105,000 GHz, and a temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency (τf) of −56 ppm·K−1. The sample exhibited a thermal conductivity of 10.1 W·m−1·K−1, which exceeds that of conventional LTCCs (~2–7 W·m−1·K−1); hence, it is a superior LTCC candidate. In addition, a mixed powder of the Cu3Nb2O8 additive and ZnAl2O4 has a melting temperature that is not significantly different from that (~970 °C) of the pristine Cu3Nb2O8 additive. The sample appears to densify in the solid state through a solid-state-activated sintering mechanism.
