Because of the fabricability of polymer and excellent dielectric properties of ceramics, ceramic-polymer composites have been investigated widely for embedded capacitors which can improve electric performance greatly. In order to obtain further application of composite, the embedded capacitors with three-layer sandwich structure containing the BaTiO 3 /epoxy composites as dielectric layer and copper foil as electrodes were fabricated. The dielectric properties are improved by preventing the defect in dielectric layer through lamination process. Our results show that the capacitors exhibit high dielectric permittivity (e = 20), low dielectric loss (0.01) at 10 3 Hz from 40 to 100°C and high breakdown strength (24 kV/mm), which indicate that the lamination is a promising process for embedded capacitor fabrication and BaTiO 3 /epoxy composites have potential for high-performance embedded capacitors application in field of microelectronics.

Glass ceramics obtained via a true glassy phase are homogeneous and pore free, which makes them interesting for electronic applications, especially in the GHz frequency range. We discuss the glass-ceramic system with Ba4Al2Ti10O27 as the main crystalline phase and show material properties, including dielectric properties measured up to 110 GHz. Application examples are shown for filters and antennas in the GHz frequency range. The extremely high material homogeneity makes very precise manufacturing possible and enables MHz accuracy and reproducibility in GHz applications. The high linearity of the material properties is shown as well and makes high power applications, e.g., in cell phone base stations, possible. Also, applications in the MHz range are discussed.
