Effects of A-site Ca and B-site Zr Substitution on the Dielectric Characteristics and Microstructure of BaTiO3-CaTiO3 Composite

The dielectric and sintering characteristics of composites made by substituting Ca ion to Ba-site and Zr ion to Ti site in $(Ba{1-x}Ca_x)(Ti{0.96-yZr_ySn_{0.04})O_3$ $(0.15{\leq}x{\leq}0.20,\;0.09{\leq}y{\leq}0.14)$ were investigated. As the content of Ca was more than 15 mol%, composite was formed by precipitating the second phase whose main element was $CaTiO_3$ and the fraction of the second phase was increased. The curie temperature of composites was depended on Ca concentration, $-1.7^{\circ}C$ per mol% and the maximum dielectric constant of composite was decreased by the rate of 200/mol%. The substitution of Zr ion decreased the curie temperature by the rate of $10^{\circ}C$ per mol% and the maximum dielectric constant was decreased by 217/mol% due to the increase of diffuse phase transition. The density and insulation breakdown characteristics were improved by suppressing the abnormal grain growth due to the increase of second phase. We developed the composition of Y5U (EIA standard) condenser which had high breakdown voltage and dielectric constant by controlling diffuse phase transition by the addition of Zr ion into composite.

A-site Ca 및 B-site Zr 첨가에 의한 BaTiO3-CaTiO3복합체의 유전특성 및 미세구조에 미치는 영향

$BaTiO_3$의 Ba 자리에 Ca, Ti 자리에 Zr을 첨가한 $(B a_{1-x}Ca_x)(Ti_{0.96-y}Zr_{y}Sn_{0.04})O_3$ $(0.15 {\leq} x{\leq}0.20,\; 0.09{\leq}y{\leq}$0.14) 조성에 2차상 형성을 유도하여 복합체를 만든 후 유전 및 소결 특성을 조사하였다. Ca량이 15mol% 이상 첨가됨에 따라 $CaTiO_3$를 주성분으로 하는 2차상이 석출하여 복합체가 형성되었으며, Ca량의 증가에 따라 2차상 분율이 증가하였다. Ca량의 증가는 큐리 온도를 mol%당 $1.7^{\circ}C$ 감소시키며, 저유전율 2차상의 영향으로 Ca량 증가에 따라 최대 유전율은 mol%당 200 감소하였다. Zr 첨가는 큐리온도를 mol%당 $10^{\circ}C$ 감소시키며, 확산형 상전이 현상을 증가시켜 최대 유전율을 217 감소시켰다. 2차상의 증가에 의하여 비정상 입성장이 억제되어 소결밀도, 내전압 특성이 향상되었으며, Zr 첨가에 의하여 커패시턴스의 온도 안정성을 제어하여 EIA 규격을 만족하는 고압, 고유전율 Y5U 콘덴서 조성을 개발하였다.
