Abstract

Thermally crystallizable glasses are disclosed of the system: EQU RO -- Nb.sub.2 O.sub.5 -- GeO.sub.2 wherein RO is a BaO or SrO. Also disclosed are thermally crystallizable glasses of the system PbO -- Nb.sub.2 O.sub.5 -- GeO.sub.2. Glass-ceramics made from these glass systems have high dielectric constants and low dissipation factors or loss tangents, which glasses and glass-ceramics are suitable for use as capacitors and dielectrics, and particularly for thick-film dielectric pastes utilized in the manufacture of micro-electronic printed circuits. By varying the heat treatment schedule for crystallization of the glass to a glass-ceramic, a specific high dielectric constant coming within a prescribed range can be imparted to the finished glass-ceramic.
