A new glass-free low temperature sinterable CuMoO 4 ceramic was prepared by a solid state ceramic route. The structural, microstructural, electron dispersive spectrum, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis revealed the quality of the material synthesized. The CuMoO 4 ceramic sintered at 650 °C exhibits densification of 96% and low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of 4.6 ppm/°C in the temperature range of 25−500 °C. It has relative permittivity (ε r ) of 7.9, quality factor (Qf) of 53 000 GHz, and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τ f ) of −36 ppm/°C (25−85 °C) at 12.7 GHz. The sintered ceramic also shows ε r of 11 and low dielectric loss (tan δ) of 2.7 × 10 −4 at the frequency of 1 MHz. The full width half-maximum (fwhm) of A 1g Raman mode of CuMoO 4 ceramic at different sintering temperatures correlate well with the Qf values. The low sintering temperature, low relative permittivity, high-quality factor, and matching coefficient of thermal expansion to that of Si make CuMoO 4 a suitable candidate for ultralow temperature cofired ceramic (ULTCC) applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
