Novel microwave dielectric material of (1 − x)SiO2− xTiO2for low-temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) application was investigated in this paper. TiO2coated SiO2powder prepared by a sol-gel method under solvothermal conditions (SGS) revealed an adsorption of fine TiO2particles on the SiO2surface. TiO2coated SiO2improved the microwave properties of SiO2ceramics. As the TiO2content x increased in the (1 −x)SiO2−xTiO2(0.1 ≦x≦0.3) system, dielectric constant (εr) and temperature coefficient of resonance frequency (τƒ) of the material were increased due to the mixing effect of TiO2phase. The 0.85SiO2− 0.15TiO2and 0.9SiO2− 0.1TiO2ceramics sintered at 1200 °C showedεr= 5.4 and 4.6, quality factor (Q·ƒ) = 40,500 and 36,300 GHz, andτƒ= 2.5 and −0.5 ppm/°C. The sintering temperature of 0.9SiO2− 0.1TiO2ceramic is lowered from 1200 °C/3 h to 950°C/6 h by the addition of H3BO3. 0.9SiO2− 0.1TiO2ceramics with 10 wt% H3BO3sintered at 950 °C/6 h possesses excellent microwave dielectric properties ofεr∼ 4.67,Q·ƒ∼ 78,000 GHz andτƒ∼ −0.7 ppm/°C. From the X-ray diffraction and EDS analysis of cofired ceramics, the H3BO3added 0.9SiO2− 0.1TiO2ceramic does not react with Ag at 950 °C. The attractive advantages such as low dielectric constant, low sintering temperature, high-performing microwave dielectric properties, chemical compatibility with Ag metal electrodes, no toxicity, and abundant raw materials source and low cost constituents make the SiO2ceramic as potential candidates for substrate and LTCC devices.
