Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of microwave dielectric ceramic materials, and particularly relates to a method for optimizing the low-temperature sintering and dielectric-thermal synergy of zinc aluminate microwave dielectric ceramics. Background Art

[0002] LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) technology is a low-temperature co-fired ceramic technology widely used in the manufacture of electronic components. The main feature of LTCC technology is that it can co-fire and form a ceramic substrate and a metal electrode material at a relatively low temperature. This technology can simultaneously realize the integration of circuits and the structure of ceramic substrates, so it is widely used in high-frequency and high-reliability electronic products.

[0003] As a typical representative of spinel-structured microwave dielectric ceramics, zinc aluminate (ZnAl₂O₄) shows important application potential in 5G millimeter-wave communication, power electronic packaging, and aerospace wave-transparent devices due to its low dielectric constant, high thermal expansion coefficient, and excellent thermal stability. However, its industrial application faces two core challenges: one is that the traditional sintering temperature is too high, resulting in grain coarsening, increased porosity, and a sharp increase in dielectric loss, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-frequency and low-loss; the other is the difficulty in synergistically regulating dielectric and thermal properties. For example, high thermal conductivity is not conducive to the heat dissipation of high-frequency devices, and traditional sintering aids (such as Bi₂O₃-SiO₂) can reduce the sintering temperature to 1300 °C, but they cause fluctuations in dielectric constant and CTE mismatch, leading to thermal stress delamination failure. Current research focuses on the design of composite sintering aids (such as LBSCA glass, CTN system) to achieve multi-objective optimization of "low-temperature sintering-dielectric-thermal synergy" to break through the performance bottleneck. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for improving the performance of zinc aluminate microwave ceramics based on SrF₂-LiF composite sintering aids, so that the prepared zinc aluminate microwave dielectric ceramic material has a low sintering temperature and good dielectric-thermal properties, and is suitable for manufacturing ceramic substrates with high thermal stability. The present invention adopts the Zn 0.90 Co 0.10 Al₂O₄ system, introduces SrF₂-LiF composite sintering aids, and optimizes the sintering and dielectric-thermal properties through multiple mechanisms. The SrF₂ and LiF complex as a sintering aid effectively reduces the sintering temperature, promotes the uniform growth of grains, reduces the negative impact of high-temperature sintering on the material, and at the same time improves the density and thermal stability of the ceramic. Low-temperature sintering also reduces the thermal expansion coefficient, enhances the mechanical strength and crack resistance, making the material more widely used in high-frequency microwave technology. This method not only saves energy and shortens the production cycle, but also improves the dielectric properties of microwave ceramics, making it have broad application prospects in fields such as high-frequency microwave communication systems, electronic ceramic devices, and high-strength ceramic substrates.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A method for low-temperature sintering and dielectric thermal synergistic optimization of zinc aluminate microwave dielectric ceramics, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0007] a. Using ZnO (99%), CoO (99%) and Al2O3 (99%) as raw materials, and proportioning according to the stoichiometric ratio of the Zn 0.90 Co 0.10 Al2O4 molecular formula to prepare the main powder;

[0008] b. The main powder is ball-milled for the first time, taken out and dried after ball-milling, and the powder obtained after sieving is put into a sintering furnace, heated from room temperature to 1300 °C at a heating rate of 2 °C / min and held for 3 h, and then naturally cooled to room temperature with the furnace to obtain the main material;

[0009] c. Using LiF (99%) and SrF2 (99.7%) as raw materials, after mixing, ball-mill with deionized water for 12 hours. After drying and sieving, the sintering aid SrF2-LiF powder is obtained.

[0010] d. The SrF2-LiF composite sintering aid is added to the main material obtained in step b to form a powder, and then ball-milled for the second time, and then the second ball-milled material is taken out and dried.

[0011] e. The dried powder is uniformly mixed with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and pressed into a cylinder (Φ12 mm × h 6 mm).

[0012] f. The pressed cylindrical blank is held at 510 °C for 2 hours to remove PVA, and then heated to 1100 °C at a heating rate of 2 °C / min and sintered for 4 hours to obtain the optimized ZnAl2O4 microwave dielectric ceramic material sample.

[0013] Further, in steps b and d, the first ball-milling and the second ball-milling both adopt the same wet ball-milling. The wet ball-milling is carried out in a planetary ball mill, and deionized water is used as the solvent and iron balls are used as the ball-milling medium for wet ball-milling. Among them, the mass ratio of the raw material, the solvent and the iron balls is 1:1.5:2, the ball-milling time is 12 hours, and the ball-milling speed is 300 r / min.

[0014] Further, in step c, for the two sintering aid raw materials, weigh according to the optimal molar ratio of 2:8 and ball-mill with deionized water for 12 h.

[0015] Further, in steps b and d, the drying temperature is 80 °C and the drying time is 24 hours.

[0016] Further, in step d, the mass percentage of the sintering aid varies between 20% and 40 wt%, adjusting the sintering temperature and mechanical stability.

[0017] Further, in step e, the dosage of the binder is 12 wt%; the sieving process is as follows: passing through 40 mesh and 100 mesh in sequence, and taking the particles between 40 mesh and 100 mesh; the pressure for pressing into blocks is 15 Kg / cm 2 , and the time is 2 minutes, pressing into a cylindrical green body.

[0018] Based on the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0019] The application of doping an appropriate amount of 0.2SrF2 - 0.8LiF in Zn 0.90 Co 0.10 Al2O4 microwave dielectric ceramics has significant beneficial effects. First, doping this material can effectively reduce the sintering temperature and improve the production efficiency of ceramics. Second, with the increase of the doping amount, the dielectric constant (εr) of the ceramics gradually decreases, optimizing its electrical properties to meet the requirements of microwave dielectric applications. In addition, the Q×f value shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing when the doping amount is appropriate. Among them, when the sintering temperature is 1100 °C and the doping amount is 30 wt%, the Q×f value reaches 9695 GHz, indicating that the ceramics have a high quality factor and are suitable for high-frequency microwave applications. In terms of temperature stability, the τf value gradually shifts towards negative values, improving the temperature-frequency stability of the ceramics. Finally, the thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) of the ceramics reaches a maximum value of 12.02 ppm / °C, showing good thermal stability. These improvements have significantly enhanced the performance of Zn 0.90 Co 0.10 Al2O4 ceramics in microwave dielectric materials.
