Claims
- 1. A ceramic dielectric composition containing as a first component 35 to 93.5% by weight of strontium titanate, 4 to 40% by weight of bismuth trioxide and at least 2.5 but less than 60% by weight of titanium dioxide based on the first component, wherein said composition further contains as a second component at least one alkali metal oxide selected from the group consisting of the oxides of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium, in an amount from 0.1 to 5.0% by weight based on the total amount of said first component.
- 2. A ceramic dielectric composition according to claim 1, wherein not more than 30% by weight of the strontium oxide in the strontium titanate is replaced by at least one divalent metallic oxide selected from the group consisting of the oxides of calcium, zinc, magnesium, berylium, barium, cadmium and lead.
- 3. A ceramic dielectric composition according to claim 1, wherein not more than 30% by weight of the titanium oxide is replaced by at least one tetravalent metallic oxide selected from the group consisting of the oxides of zirconium, tin and hafnium.
- 4. A ceramic dielectric composition according to claim 2, wherein not more than 30% by weight of the titanium oxide, is replaced by at least one tetravalent metallic oxide selected from the group consisting of the oxides of zirconium, tin and hafnium.
- 5. A ceramic dielectric composition according to claim 1, wherein said dielectric ceramic composition further contains as a third component a minor but effective amount of at least one of the following:
- (a) at least one oxide selected from the group consisting of oxides of manganese, chromium, iron, cobalt, nickel, niobium and tantalum;
- (b) a clay material, and;
- (c) at least one of the rare earth oxides.
- 6. A ceramic dielectric composition according to claim 3, wherein said dielectric ceramic composition further comprises as a third component a minor but effective amount of at least one of the following:
- (a) at least one oxide selected from the group consisting of oxides of manganese, chromium, iron, cobalt, nickel, niobium and tantalum;
- (b) a clay material, and;
- (c) at least one of the rare earth oxides.
- 7. A ceramic dielectric composition according to claim 5, wherein not more than 30% by weight of the titanium oxide, is replaced by at least one tetravalent metallic oxide selected from the group consisting of the oxides of zirconium, tin and hafnium.
