Abstract

Applications for low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) are advancing to higher frequencies. In order to design ceramic microsystems and high frequency packages, the electrical properties of materials must be well characterized. In this study, the dielectric properties of commercial and experimental ceramic materials have been measured over a broad frequency range. A split-cylinder method was employed for dielectric properties in the 10 GHz range. Terahertz spectroscopy was used to characterize ceramic specimens with a range of dielectric constants between 4 and 100. The measurements were made using a broadband terahertz spectroscopy system that provided time-domain transmission data. The dielectric constant and loss were extracted from the sample's frequency-domain transmission characteristics and compared with lower frequency measurements. Dielectric constant and loss data will be presented for commercial and experimental ceramic systems from 10 GHz to 1 THz.
