Dielectric ceramic composition, monolithic ceramic substrate, ceramic electronic component, and monolithic ceramic electronic component

Abstract

A dielectric ceramic composition comprises 100 parts by weight of major component represented by the formula BaO-×{(1-y)TiO2.yZrO2} wherein 3.5≦×≦4.5 and 0≦y≦0.2, and auxiliary components added to the main component. The auxiliary components comprises about 5 to 30 parts by weight, on a ZnO basis, of zinc compound about 0.5 to 6 parts by weight, on a SiO2 basis, of silicon compound, about 0.1 to 3 parts by weight, on an oxide (R2O) basis, of alkali metal compound wherein R is alkali metal, about 0.1 to 7 parts by weight, on a CuO basis, of copper compound, and about 0.1 to 6 parts by weight, on a V2O5 basis, of vanadium compound or about 0.1 to 6 parts by weight, on a Bi2O3 basis, of bismuth compound. This dielectric ceramic composition can be simultaneously sintered together with silver or copper at a temperature of 1,000° C. or less, and exhibits a high dielectric constant, a high Q value, a small change in dielectric property with temperature, and high environmental resistance. The composition is suitable for high-frequency electronic components.
