Abstract

A novel microwave dielectric ceramic CaB2O4 with low dielectric constant was synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The impact of diverse Ca/B ratios on the phase composition, microstructure and dielectric properties of CaB2+xO4+3x/2 (x = 0–0.6) ceramics was investigated. The bond ionicity and the lattice energy of CaB2+xO4+3x/2 ceramics were calculated by the P-V-L theory. The appropriate excess of boron facilitated the densification of CaB2O4 ceramics, resulting in the stable crystal structure and enhanced dielectric properties. CaB2.3O4.45 ceramic sintered at 950 °C had excellent properties: εr = 6.03, Q×f = 37,962 GHz, and τf = −24.7 ppm/°C. The influence of TiO2 on the microwave dielectric properties of CaB2O4 was investigated, 87 wt% CaB2O4 - 13 wt% TiO2 ceramics sintered at 950 °C showed a zero τf value.
