Patent ID: 8088703

Claim:
A dielectric composition comprising: (a) barium titanate having a specific surface area of 2.5 m 2 /g to 6.0 m 2 /g; (b) a mixture containing at least one or more materials selected from the group consisting of any one oxide of Ca, Sr, Ba and Zr, and any one carbonate thereof; (c) oxide containing at least one or more materials selected from the group consisting of Sc, Y, La, Ac, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Tm, Yb, and Lu; (d) oxide containing at least one or more material selected from the group consisting of Cr, Fe, Co, and Ni; (e) oxide containing at least one or more material selected from the group consisting of Nb and Ta; and (f) oxide containing at least one or more material selected from the group consisting of Si and Al, wherein a value of [((total number of moles of the (b) component)−(number of moles of the Zr oxide))/(number of moles of the (f) component)] is in a range of 1 to 1.5, and wherein a value of [(number of moles of the (c) component)/(number of moles of the (f) component)] is in a range of 1.5 to 3.
