Microwave dielectric ceramic composites with compositions of (1−y)Ba3(VO4)2–yZn2−xSiO4−x(y=0.4–0.6, x=0.13) have been prepared by firing mixtures of Ba3(VO4)2and Zn1.87SiO3.87. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that Zn2SiO4with a willemite phase can be obtained by appropriately controlling the ZnO deficiency. The starting Zn1.87SiO3.87powder should be thus composed of the ZnSiO4crystal phase and redundant SiO2amorphous phase at room temperature. The scanning electron microscopy studies demonstrated the coexistence of Zn2SiO4and Ba3(VO4)2phases in the sintered bodies, as further confirmed by the XRD and Raman results. The near-zero temperature coefficients of the resonant frequency (τf) could be achieved by adjusting the relative content of the two phases owing to their opposite τfvalues. The existence of a slight amount of secondary phases, element interdiffusion and non-stoichiometry such as Zn deficiency altogether made the predicted property values deviate from the experimentally measured ones. The composite ceramics with 40wt% Zn1.87SiO3.87sintered at 1100°C exhibited desirable microwave dielectric properties of the quality factor Q×f∼23,000GHz, dielectric constant ɛr∼9.3, and τf∼0.4ppm/°C.
