Abstract

During the synthesis of Bi₂Ge₃O₉ ceramics using Bi₂O₃ + 3GeO₂ powders, the Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂ phase was formed at low temperature (≤800 °C). Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂ preferentially adopted GeO₂-excess phase, and this phase was consistently present in the sintered Bi₂Ge₃O₉ ceramic as a secondary phase. Therefore, Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂ powder was first calcined and subsequently reacted with GeO₂ powder to obtain the pure Bi₂Ge₃O₉ ceramic through the following reaction: 1/2Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂ + 3/2GeO₂ → Bi₂Ge₃O₉Formation of the Bi₂Ge₃O₉ phase was initiated at temperature of 850 °C. The pure Bi₂Ge₃O₉ ceramic sintered at 875 °C for 8 h had a dense microstructure with an average grain size of 2.7 μm. Furthermore, the pure Bi₂Ge₃O₉ ceramic exhibited promising microwave dielectric properties for the advanced ceramic substrate: ε_r = 9.7, Q × f = 48,573 GHz and τ_f = −29.5 ppm/°C.
