MgTiO3/TiO2/MgTiO3: An ultrahigh-Q and temperature-stable microwave dielectric ceramic through cofired trilayer architecture

A cofired trilayer ceramic architecture showing as MgTiO 3 /TiO 2 /MgTiO 3 was designed to realize temperature-stable and ultrahigh- Q microwave dielectrics in the typical MgTiO 3 -TiO 2 system. The effects of TiO 2 content on the microwave dielectric properties of cofired trilayer ceramics were studied. Through the design of cofired trilayer architecture, the chemical reactions between MgTiO 3 and TiO 2 were limited within a narrow region of MgTiO 3 /TiO 2 interfaces (~ 15 µm in width), which could be beneficial for optimizing the microwave dielectric properties. Excellent characteristics of ε r ~ 18.38, Q×f value ~ 169,900 GHz and τ f ~ − 1 ppm/°C were gained for the MgTiO 3 /TiO 2 /MgTiO 3 ceramic architectures stacked with 1.63 vol% TiO 2 . The current work could serve as new strategies to develop high-performance dielectric resonators and multilayers for 5G wireless communication applications.
