Abstract
A dielectric ceramic composition which has excellent electrical properties and can be sintered at a temperature within the range of 750.degree. C. to 1000.degree. C. contains 90 to 98% by weight of barium titanate, 0.5 to 2.5% by weight of lithium oxide and 1.5 to 8% by weight of cupric fluoride.
Claims5
A ceramic consisting essentially of a dielectric composition having 90% to 98% by weight of barium titanate and the balance being, 0.5% to 2.5% by weight of lithium oxide and 1.5% to 8% by weight of cupric fluoride wherein molar ratio of TiO.sub.2 /BaO in said barium titanate is higher than or equal to 0.97 and lower than or equal to 0.98.
A method of fabrication of an electric capacitor, wherein said method consists essentially of producing a calcined powder containing 90% to 98% by weight of barium titanate, 1.5% to 8% by weight of cupric fluoride, and 0.5% to 2.5% by weight of lithium oxide said lithium oxide being introduced in the form of a salt and the ratio of TiO.sub.2 /BaO in said barium titanate is higher than or equal to 0.97 and lower than or equal to 0.98, and then fabricating the capacitor by means of said calcined powder in a manner known per se, said capacitor being provided with a dielectric ceramic layer which has been sintered at a temperature higher than or equal to 750.degree. C. at which the lithium salt is decomposed and gives rise in particular to the formation of lithium oxide.
