Abstract

In this paper, Al2O3 ceramics co-doped with 0.3 wt%CuO–0.6 wt%TiO2–0.1 wt%MnCO3 (CTM, the same below) were prepared. The effect of CTM and UV irradiation on the sintering behavior, microstructure, and microwave dielectric properties have been investigated systematically. The results indicate that the sintering temperature of Al2O3 ceramics could be effectively decreased to about 1200 °C by adding 1 wt% CTM. UV irradiation can further increase the density of the Al2O3 ceramics, improve its microstructure and microwave dielectric properties. By using the Al2O3 powders UV irradiated for 15 min as raw materials, CTM co-doped Al2O3 ceramics can sintered at 1200 °C with a high density of 3.93 g/cm3 and a very high Q × f value of 175,086 GHz.
