1Reliability
If conventional dielectric compositions are used, then the dielectric element can be manufactured with standard materials, but the dielectric constant and capacitance are reduced when high DC bias is applied
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the dielectric material by incorporating specific ratios of Bi-Zn-Ti-O and Ba-Ti-O systems with controlled doping elements (Mg, Mn, Ga, Nb) to maintain high dielectric constant under high DC bias conditions. The compositional formula (1) with specific ranges for a, b, c, d, e, f, g parameters enables the material to withstand high electric fields while preserving capacitance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite dielectric system combining Bi-Zn-Ti-O and Ba-Ti-O ceramic systems with multiple dopant elements. This composite approach integrates the high dielectric constant of Bi-Zn-Ti-O with the stability of Ba-Ti-O, while dopants like MgO and MnO provide grain boundary control and electrical stability under high DC bias, achieving synergistic performance.
2Volume of moving object
If the dielectric layer thickness is reduced for miniaturization, then the electronic component size is reduced, but the dielectric constant and capacitance decrease under high DC bias
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the material parameters at the micro-scale to compensate for reduced thickness. By optimizing the compositional formula with specific dopant concentrations and Bi/Zn/Ti ratios, the material achieves enhanced electrical properties that maintain high capacitance even in thin-film configurations under high DC bias conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The composite Bi-Zn-Ti-O/Ba-Ti-O system with controlled dopant distribution provides superior electrical properties in thin layers. The synergistic combination maintains high dielectric constant and breakdown strength even when the dielectric layer is miniaturized, enabling small-sized capacitors to retain high capacitance under high DC bias.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If lead-free materials are used, then the environmental friendliness is improved, but achieving high dielectric constant under high DC bias becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent achieves lead-free high-performance dielectric by precisely controlling the compositional parameters of Bi-Zn-Ti-O and Ba-Ti-O systems. The specific ranges of dopant concentrations (Mg: 0.001-0.06, Mn: 0.001-0.06, Ga: 0.001-0.06, Nb: 0.001-0.06) and the Bi/Zn/Ti ratio optimization enable the material to achieve dielectric constant ≥900 under 8 V/μm DC bias without any lead content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent successfully creates a lead-free composite dielectric system combining Bi-Zn-Ti-O and Ba-Ti-O ceramics. This composite approach replaces traditional lead-based PZT or PLZT materials while achieving superior or comparable performance. The multiple dopant elements work synergistically to provide both environmental compatibility and high dielectric performance under high DC bias conditions.
