To develop a low dielectric constant of LTCC substrate, we studied the effect of the sintering and crystallization behavior on the dielectric properties of a sintered body by mixing a CaO-Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 frit and a CaO-MgO-SiO 2 frit for a low dielectric constant of LTCC substrates. In this work, the two glass frits were mixed at different proportions and sintered at 860~920°C. After sintering at 900 o C for 1h, the glass frits crystallized into diopside and anorthite. The sintered bodies exhibited dielectric properties, ɛ r =6~8.6 at 1 GHz, which is an essential condition for a substrate in microwave devices. The results suggest that the glass-ceramic can be applied to low dielectric LTCC materials in the electronics packaging industry.
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.
