A glass-ceramic is provided having a thermal expansion coefficient in a
range of 3-6 ppm/.degree. C., a dielectric constant that is less than 5
and a Quality factor Q of at least 400. The glass-ceramic consists
essentially of SiO.sub.2 in a range of 45-58 wt %, Al.sub.2O.sub.3 in a
range of 10-18 wt % and MgO in a range of 10-25 wt %. A method of making
the glass-ceramic is also provided. Further, an electronic package is
also provided, including a base member and a glass-ceramic substrate
bonded to the base member.
