### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The dielectric composition according to claim 1, wherein the lithium oxide is obtained from a lithium salt which is capable of liberating said oxide at high temperature.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The dielectric composition according to claim 2, wherein the lithium salt is selected from lithium nitrates, sulfates or carbonates.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

An electric capacitor comprising at least one dielectric layer covered by a conductive metal plate, wherein the dielectric layer is constituted by a composition according to claim 1.

### Claim 5

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.
