The sintering behaviors and dielectric properties of Ba 0.6 Sr 0.4 TiO 3 ceramics were investigated as a function of B 2 O 3 and CuO content. The addition of both B 2 O 3 and CuO reduced the sintering temperature of Ba 0.6 Sr 0.4 TiO 3 about 500°C. It was suggested that a liquid phase BaCu ( B 2 O 5 ) was formed and assisted the densification of Ba 0.6 Sr 0.4 TiO 3 ceramics. Ba 0.6 Sr 0.4 TiO 3 ceramics co‐doped with 3.0 mol% B 2 O 3 , and 2.0 mol% CuO , sintered at 950°C for 5 h, had a dense microstructure and showed good microwave dielectric properties of a moderate dielectric constant (ε = 1048), low dielectric loss (0.0090) and high tunability (42.2%) at dc electric field of 30 kV /cm.
