Al x In 0.05− x Ta 0.05 Ti 0.9 O 2 ceramics with x ranging from 0 to 0.05 were synthesized using a conventional solid–state reaction method. All samples achieved a pure rutile–TiO 2 phase. Additionally, the lattice parameters of the samples increased with higher Al doping concentrations. The ceramics exhibited a dense microstructure and uniform dispersion of dopants. Raman spectroscopy revealed a decrease in oxygen vacancies in the structure with increasing Al3+ concentration. The presence of Ti3+ in the structure was confirmed by X–ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The dielectric properties of all samples were investigated as functions of frequency and temperature. The triple–doped AITTO ceramics demonstrated a high dielectric constant (ε′) of ∼2×104 and low dielectric loss (tanδ) ranging from 0.029 to 0.04, along with excellent temperature stability of ε′ at 1 kHz, showing a Δε′/ε′ 30 of less than ±15% over a temperature range of −60 to 210 °C. Notably, the tanδ of the triple–doped AITTO ceramics remained below 0.04 even at 200 °C. Impedance spectroscopy was utilized to analyze the electrical properties of the grains and grain boundaries. The observed dielectric properties are attributed to the formation of electron–pinned defect–dipoles, along with the impacts of both internal and surface barrier layer capacitors.
