The present invention discloses dielectric ceramic compositions having
dielectric properties suitable for high frequency bands, such as microwave
and millimetric wave, and a method for manufacturing multilayered
components, such as chip LC filters, chip duplexers, and dielectric
filters for PCS, using the dielectric ceramic compositions. The dielectric
ceramic composition not only possesses low dielectric loss, a high
dielectric constant, and temperature stability, but are also capable of
being sintered at low temperatures and simultaneously baked with metal
electrodes, including silver, copper, silver/palladium. Therefore, the
dielectric composition can be applied to temperature stable capacitors
(NPO MLCC), microwave oscillators, substrates, filters, planar antenna and
on the like. The dielectric composition are represented by the general
formula:
A.sub.x 'A.sub.1-x "B.sub.y 'B.sub.1-y "O.sub.4
where A' and A" are La, Nd, Y and Al; B' and B" are Nb and Ta.
