Preparation of pyroelectric BSCT thick films by screen-printing

스크린 프린팅을 이용한 초전형 BSCT 후막의 제작

$(Ba_{0.6},Sr_{0.3},Ca_{0.1})TiO_3$ powders, which were prepared by sol-gel method using a solution of Ba-acetate, Sr-acetate and Ca-acetate and Ti iso-propoxide, were mixed with organic vehicle and the BSCT thick films were fabricated by the screen-printing techniques on high purity alumina substrates. The structural and dielectirc properties were investigated for various $Pr_2O_3$ and $Y_2O_3$doping contents. As a result of thermal analysis of $(Ba_{0.6},Sr_{0.3},Ca_{0.1})TiO_3$ powders, the exothermic peak was observed at around $670^{\circ}C$ due to the formation of the polycrystalline perovskite phase. All BSCT thick films, sintered at $1420^{\circ}C$ for 2h, showed the typical XRD patterns of perovskite polycrystalline structure. The average grain size of the specimens decreased with amount of $Pr_2O_3$ and $Y_2O_3$ contents.
