Statement of the Problem: Currently, due to intensive development of Wi-Fi and mobile communications, the number of widely used microwave devices, such as filters, resonators and a number of other electronic components, has significantly increased. Since modern electronic devices tend to be portable, it is necessary that electronic components are also miniaturized and highly sophisticated. Technology of low-temperature co-firing of ceramics (LTCC) allows to miniaturize multilayer components, using silver as a high-conductivity metal electrode. In addition to the need to provide microwave dielectric properties, ceramics obtained by the LTCC technology must have a sintering temperature that does not exceed the silver melting temperature of 961?°C. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: Despite the fact that there are a number of materials with high microwave dielectric properties, they cannot be obtained with LTCC technology, since they have a sintering temperature much higher than 961?°C. The Li2O-ZnO-TiO2 system has developed a material with a sintering temperature of 950?°C for LTCC, which can be used for the production of electronic applications, such as resonators, filters and other. Findings: As a sintering additive, a eutectic composition in the Li2O-ZnO-B2O3 (LZB) system was used. The addition of 5.0 wt. % of LZB allows reach a relative density of 98% at 950?°C. The effects of the additive on sintering behavior, phase composition, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties were studied. Conclusion & Significance The material is characterized by dielectric permittivity ?µ17.7 and quality factor Qxf of 407 MHz.Recent Publications: 1. Vershinin D.I., Makarov N.A.
