A forsterite-based glass ceramic material has been developed from potassium feldspar for low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC). The crystalline phases and microstructure of forsterite-based glass ceramics were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The results show only forsterite was formed in temperature range 900-,050?°C, and sapphirine was formed in temperature range 1,080-,100?°C. The glass compact could be well densified at 950?°C, and full densification samples were obtained in temperature range 1,000-,050?°C. The physical properties including dielectric properties, bending strength and thermal expansion of the specimens were also evaluated. The dielectric constants are in the range 7.00-.25 and dielectric loss is below 0.01 in the frequency range 1-0?MHz. The specimens obtained in temperature range 950-,100?°C are of high bending strength (69-06?MPa). The linear coefficient of thermal expansion of the specimen sintered at 1,080?°C is 9.76?×?10??K?. All of these qualify the forsterite-based glass ceramic for further investigation as a candidate suitable for applications in LTCC field.
