Abstract
Zn2SiO4 ceramics synthesized by the conventional solid-state method exhibited a low Q × f value, possibly due to the formation of a ZnO second phase. However, with a small ZnO reduction from the Zn2SiO4 ceramics, the ZnO second phase disappeared and grain growth occurred due to the formation of a Si-rich liquid phase. Specimens with a large grain size exhibited an improved Q × f value. In particular, the ceramics with nominal composition Zn1.8SiO3.8 sintered at 1300°C exhibited improved microwave dielectric properties of εr=6.6, Q × f=147 000 GHz, and τf=-22 ppm/°C.
