Abstract

The sintering behavior, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of complex pyrophosphate compounds AMP₂O₇ (A = Ca, Sr; M = Zn, Cu) were investigated in this paper. All compounds could be densified below the temperature of 950 °C without any glass addition, and exhibit low permittivity (ε_r < 8), high Q × f value and negative temperature coefficient of resonant frequency. The Q × f value was discussed from the point of view of bond strength. The chemical compatibility with silver and copper was also investigated. All compounds seriously react with silver at ∼700 °C. However SrZnP₂O₇ could be co-fired with copper in reduced atmosphere. The microwave dielectric properties of SrZnP₂O₇ sintered at 950 °C in reducing atmosphere are: ε_r = 7.06, Q × f = 52781 GHz, τ_f = -70 ppm/°C. In terms of its lower sintering temperature, chemical compatibility with copper and good microwave dielectric properties, SrZnP₂O ₇ ceramic is very promising for low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) applications.
