Abstract
Abstract Powders of barium titanate, of an alkaline-earth-zirconate and of a cadmium containing glass are mixed with an organic binder to form a body that is subsequently fired at from 1800 DEG F to 2050 DEG F to make a glass-reacted-ceramic dielectric having a glass phase intermixed with a single titanate-zirconate phase. The omission of the conventional calcining step to obtain the single phase titanate-zirconate results in a substantial cost saving.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
85 words
A method for making a glass-reacted-ceramic body having a high dielectric constant at 25° C. comprising mixing in a suspension medium the three finely ground prefired powders consisting essentially of a powder of barium titanate, powders of an alkaline-earth-zirconate and powder of a cadmium containing glass; forming a body of said powdered mixture; and firing said body between 1800° F. and 2050° F. to react said titanate powder with said zirconate powder and to form an alkaline-earth-titanate-zirconate phase that is intermixed with a glass phase.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
85 words
A method for making a glass-reacted-ceramic body having a high dielectric constant at 25° C. comprising mixing in a suspension medium the three finely ground prefired powders consisting essentially of a powder of barium titanate, powders of an alkaline-earth-zirconate and powder of a cadmium containing glass; forming a body of said powdered mixture; and firing said body between 1800° F. and 2050° F. to react said titanate powder with said zirconate powder and to form an alkaline-earth-titanate-zirconate phase that is intermixed with a glass phase.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said mixture additionally contains a dopant selected from oxides and carbonates of manganese and uranium.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 2 wherein said dopant is a manganese compound amounting to about 0.85 mole percent of said titanate plus said zirconate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said alkaline-earth-zirconate is strontium zirconate and amounts to about 6.4 mole percent of said titanate plus said zirconate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
60 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said forming of said body comprises depositing a first layer of said titanate zirconate glass mixture on a substrate, applying an electrode film to the surface of said first layer, depositing and applying additional layers and electrode films, respectively over said first electroded layer, and drying said layers to produce a monolithic ceramic capacitor.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 5 wherein said electrode film contains silver and palladium in the ratio of about 70 to 30 parts by weight.
