Dielectric Properties and Microstructure of Modified $CaZrO_3$ for Application of Ni-MLCC with NPO Temperature Characteristics

NPO 온도특성의 Ni-MLCC 응용을 위한 CaZrO3의 유전특성 및 미세구조

The effects of mole ratio and Ti-ion on the dielectric properties and microstructure of modified $CaZrO_3$ composition such as $(Ca_{0.7}Sr_{0.3})_m(Ti_yZr_{1-y})O_3$ were investigated. Ti ions substituted on Zr-sites in these modified $CaZrO_3$ composition strongly affect the sintering density and microstructure of the fired ceramic body. With increasing the amount of Ti substituted on Zr-sites, the sintered density rapidly increased and the dense microstructures were obtained for the compositions having mole ratio of 1.01, whereas the sintered density and microstructures are nearly constant with the content of Ti-ion for the compositions having mole ratio of 0.99. With increasing the content of Ti ion, the curve of TCC (temperature coefficient of capacitance) as a function of temperature rotated clockwise and satisfied the COG characteristics for both of compositions with mole ratio of 0.99 and 1.01. The content of Ti ion seems to be more effective than mole with respect to the controlling of firing and TCC.
