Solution Overview

Problem

Multilayer ceramic capacitors face challenges in achieving high temperature stability and dielectric constant simultaneously, as increasing the content of Ba2LiTa5O15 enhances temperature stability but lowers the dielectric constant, making it difficult to design high-capacity capacitors that meet EIA-X9R specifications.

Innovation Solution

A composite dielectric ceramic material comprising (1-x)BaTiO3-xBa2LiTa5O15 with the addition of binary, ternary, or unary oxide subcomponents such as Li2TiO3, BaSiO3, (Ba0.6Ca0.4)SiO3, SiO2, MnO, CaO, or MgO, which improves anti-reduction ability and maintains dielectric constant stability within the temperature range of −55° C. to 200° C., aligning with EIA-X9R specifications.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces oxide subcomponents (such as MnO, MgO, CaO, SiO2, Li2TiO3, BaSiO3, or (Ba0.6Ca0.4)SiO3) at localized, controlled levels (0.1 to 10.0 moles per 100 moles of main component) to specifically enhance anti-reduction ability and high-temperature stability. This localized addition approach improves reliability without significantly increasing overall material composition complexity, as the subcomponents are added in small, precisely controlled amounts.

Solution Approach 2:

The oxide subcomponents act as intermediary elements that facilitate the formation of stable phases and improve the anti-reduction characteristics of the dielectric ceramic material. These subcomponents mediate between the main components (BaTiO3 and Ba2LiTa5O15) to enhance high-temperature stability while maintaining a relatively simple overall composition structure that meets manufacturing requirements.

AI summary

A composite dielectric ceramic material having anti-reduction and high temperature stability characteristics includes the main component of (1-x)(BaTiO3)-x(Ba2LiTa5O15) formulated in accordance with the relative molar ratio of up to 100 mole composite dielectric ceramics and a predetermined ratio of one or multiple oxide subcomponents corresponding to 100 moles of the main component. The oxide subcomponents of Li2TiO3, BaSiO3, (Ba0.6Ca0.4)SiO3 and SiO2 can be used as sintering aids to provide a sintering promotion effect. The oxide subcomponents of CaO, MnO, MgO can also be selected used to improve dielectric stability. More particularly, CaO has the advantages of improving the anti-reduction ability and increasing the coefficient of resistance. Therefore, with the adding of the oxide subcomponents and their interactions, the rate of change of the TCC curve of the composite dielectric ceramic material (1-x)(BaTiO3)-x(Ba2LiTa5O15) in the temperature range of −55° C.˜200° C. is significantly inhibited, and its dielectric constant (k-values) is also well improved.
