Abstract

B₂O₃ (25.0 mol%) was added to Zn_2-xSiO_4-x ceramics (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) to decrease the sintering temperature. Specimens with 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3 sintered at 900 °C were well sintered with a high density due to the formation of a B₂O₃ or B₂O₃-SiO₂ liquid phase. The Q × f value of the Zn₂SiO₄ ceramic was relatively low, 32,000 GHz, most likely due to the presence of a ZnO second phase. A maximum Q × f value of 70,000 GHz was obtained for the specimens with x = 0.2-0.3, and their ε_r and τ_f values were approximately 6.0 and -21.9 ppm/°C, respectively. Ag metal did not interact with the 25.0 mol% B₂O₃-added Zn_1.8SiO_3.8 ceramic, indicating that Zn_2-xSiO_4-x ceramics containing B₂O₃ are a good candidate materials for low temperature co-fired ceramic devices.
