Abstract

A HfSiO4 ceramic was prepared by a conventional solid state synthesis method by sintering at 1600 °C. The morphology of the sintered surface was characterized using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy and the average surface roughness was about 118 nm. The sintered HfSiO4 ceramic has εr = 7.0, Qu × f = 25 000 and τf = -44 ppm °C(-1) at 10 GHz. It exhibits promising thermal properties such as a low linear thermal expansivity (CTE) of -1.8 ppm °C(-1) (dilatometer) in the temperature range of 30-800 °C and a room temperature thermal conductivity of 11 W m(-1) K(-1).
