Abstract

The disclosed invention relates to Bi2O3&#8212;ZnO&#8212;Ta2O5 dielectric compounds and compositions, and to their manufacture. The compounds of the invention have outstanding K, Q, TCF, and TCC. Examples of these properties include a K of between 58 and 80, a low dielectric loss (tan &dgr;<0.003), and a TCC<30 ppm/&deg; C. Ceramic compositions produced include those represented by Bi2(ZnTa2)xO6x+3 where 0.57&lE;x&lE;1.0, Bi2(ZnTay)2/3O((5y+11)/3) where 1.0&lE;y&lE;3.0, as well as by Bi2(ZnTay)2/3O((5y+11)/3) where 1.0&lE;y&lE;3.0 with the proviso that y is not=2.0. Solid solutions of compounds defined by the formula r(Bi2(Zn1/3Ta2/3)2O7)-(1&#8722;r)(Bi3/2Zn2/3)(Zn1/2Ta3/2)O7)) where 0<r<1 also are produced.
