Phase composition, morphology, and microwave dielectric properties of (1−x) LiAl 0.98 (Zn 0.5 Si 0.5 ) 0.02 O 2 + x CaTiO 3 (0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.20) materials synthesized via the solid state reaction method were investigated. All these densified materials were obtained at a sintering temperature of 1150°C. All compositions showed a major LiAlO 2 phase that was accompanied by a minor CaTiO 3 phase. The ε r value increased gradually from 10.88 to 11.60, whereas the Q × f value remarkably decreased from 33 251 GHz to 13 511 GHz. The τ f value changes from −85 ppm/°C to 212 ppm/°C, thereby indicating that CaTiO 3 could effectively adjust this value. HBO 3 -doping was used to further decrease the sintering temperature to 900°C. The optimum value was obtained at 7 wt.% HBO 3 doped with microwave dielectric properties of ε r = 9.39, Q × f = 10 224 GHz, and τ f = −7.8 ppm/°C. This material also exhibited chemical compatibility with silver, making it a candidate for low temperature co-fired ceramics applications.
