[ $Ba_5Nb_4O_{15}$ ] 세라믹스의 소결 온도를 낮추기 위하여 $PbO-B_2O_3-SiO_2$계 glass frit를 $0.5\~10w\%$ 첨가하고 소결 조건 변화에 따른 마이크로파 유전특성과 미세구조를 조사하였다. $Ba_5Nb_4O_{15}$ 유전체의 소결 밀도와 마이크로파 유전특성은 액상 소결조제로서 첨가한 glass frit의 첨가량에 따라 크게 변화하였다. $PbO-B_2O_3-SiO_2$계 glass frit을 $3wt\%$ 첨가하고 $900^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 소결한 시편은 유전상수(K) 41.4, 품질계수(Q$\times$f) 13,485 GHz, 공진주파수 온도계수(TCF) 9 ppm/$^{\circ}C$의 마이크로파 유전특성을 나타내었다. 또한, 상기 조성의 유전체 재료는 Ag 전극과의 동시소결에도 물리, 화학적 반응이 없어 적층형 유전체 필터 재료로서 적합한 재료라고 판단된다.

The most widely used piezoelectric ceramics are lead oxide based ferroelectrics (PZT). However, the toxicity of lead oxide and its high vapor pressure during processing have led to a demand for alternative lead-free piezoelectric materials. We synthesized Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics of $0.96(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})NbO_3-0.04SrZrO_3+x$ mol% $ZrO_2$ [KNN-SZ+$xZrO_2$; x= 0~0.10] doped with 0.1 wt% $MnO_2$ by a conventional solid state method. We investigated the piezoelectric properties and microstructures of these disk samples sintered in reduced atmosphere in order to evaluate the possibility of the multilayered piezoelectric ceramics having the base metal such as Ni as a internal electrode. All of these KNN-SZ samples sintered in 3%$H_2-97%N_2$ atmosphere at $1,140^{\circ}C$ exhibit pure perovskite structure irrespective of the content of $ZrO_2$. Meanwhile, the sintering denisty and piezoelectric properties such as $K_p$, $Q_m$ and $d_{33}$ of KNN-SZ samples as a function of $ZrO_2$ content show the maxima ($k_p$=28.07%, $Q_m$= 101.34, $d_{33}$= 156 pC/N) at x= 0.04 and it is likely that there is some morphotropic phase boundary(MPB) in this KNN-SZ+$xZrO_2$ composition system. These results indicate that the ceramic composition is a promising candidate material for applications in lead free multilayer piezoelectric ceramics.
