Abstract This study is aimed in the replacement of commonly used (CuO) by Cu2O in the synthesis of perovskite CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) phase by the solid-state reaction method. The XRD analysis of powder calcined at 1100 °C and ceramics sintered at different temperatures show that the CCTO phase was well crystallized with the presence of small quantities of additional phases. The SEM/EDS analysis of prepared pellets show that the formation of Cu2O/CuO phase occurs above 950 °C, resulting in enhanced densification at 1050 °C (>96%). However, it is found that the Cu2O-based CCTO begins to degrade around 1090 °C. The densification after sintering at 1050 °C reaches 96%, meanwhile dielectric constant and loss tangent values are optimum in the low frequency range (
