Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the dielectric substance by incorporating specific amounts of silicon (5.0-20.0 parts by mole as SiO2) and manganese (1.0-4.5 parts by mole as MnO) along with controlling the m parameter (1.95-2.40) of the main component {BaxSr(1-x)}mTa4O12. These parameter changes enable the material to achieve high sintering density at lower firing temperatures (1200°C to 1355°C) by lowering the sintering initiation temperature through the synergistic effect of the added elements.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the compositional parameters of the dielectric material by adding silicon and manganese within specific ranges and controlling the main component structure. This enables the material to sinter densely at lower temperatures (1200°C to 1355°C), thereby reducing the complexity and cost of firing equipment while achieving the required sintering density.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces silicon and manganese as sintering aids with clearly defined quantitative ranges (silicon: 5.0-20.0 parts by mole as SiO2, manganese: 1.0-4.5 parts by mole as MnO). While this increases compositional complexity, it enables significant reduction in sintering temperature and improvement in sintering density. The controlled addition of these elements creates a synergistic effect that justifies the increased compositional complexity by achieving superior sintering performance.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite dielectric material system combining the main component {BaxSr(1-x)}mTa4O12 with silicon and manganese additives. This composite approach allows the material to benefit from the high dielectric properties of the main component while the silicon and manganese contribute to lowering sintering temperature and improving sintering density, achieving a balance between performance and processability.
