Popis: A ultra-low firing Li 3 BO 3 microwave dielectric ceramics with monoclinic structure were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method, and the phase assemblages, microstructures and microwave dielectric properties were investigate. Samples were sintered at 580–640 °C for 2–8 h which is extremely lower than 960 °C. The XRD patterns of sintered specimens showed the main phase Li 3 BO 3 coexisted with HBO 2 and Li 6 B 4 O 9 secondary phases were observed. Large number of HBO 2 secondary phase increased when the sintering temperature and time over 600 °C and 6 h, respectively. The variations in the microwave dielectric properties of Li 3 BO 3 ceramics were depended on the secondary phases. Li 3 BO 3 ceramics sintered at 600 °C for 6 h possessed an optimal microwave dielectric properties of ɛ r = 5, Q × f = 37,200 GHz, and τ f = 3.1 ppm/°C. The good microwave dielectric properties and relatively low sintering temperature would make Li 3 BO 3 ceramics promising candidate for LTCC integration applications.
