Abstract
Abstract A barium titanate host material (Ba x Ca y ), (Ti z Sn w )O 3 including a small amount of PbO (approximately 0-2.0 wt. %) is doped with small amounts of a lead boro alumino silicate frit, and one or more of boric acid and the oxides of La, Zn, Cu, Nb, Mn and Y, thereby resulting in a dielectric ceramic composition particularly suitable for making low fired multilayered capacitors exhibiting Y5V characteristics and high dielectric constants in the range of 11,000 to 14,000.
