$(Ba_{1-x}Ca_x)(Ti_{1-y}Zr_y)O_3(BCTZ)$ powders for the Ni-electrode Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor(MLCC) were synthesized via hydrothermal treatment using mixed aqueous solutions of $BaCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O,\Ca(NO_3)2{\cdot}4H_2O,\ ZrOCl_2{\cdot}8H_2O$ and $TiCl_4$. Two component and three component systems were also extensively studied for basic data. BT, CT and BZ powders were crystalline but CZ was determined to be amorphous under the same synthetic condition. In BTZ system, Zr and Ti were completely soluble and Ca would be substituted for Ba up to ∼6 mol% in BCT. The submicron-sized $(Ba_{0.95}Ca_{0.05})(Ti_{0.80}Zr_{0.20})O_3$ powder of the target composition was successfully synthesized at $150{\circ}$ for 12h.

The dielectric properties of semi-IPN poly(phenylene oxide)(PPO) blend/$BaTiO_3$(BT) composites are investigated. The composites are fabricated via melt-mixing of crosslinker and peroxide in precursor PPO composite obtained by precipitating the suspension consisted of PPO, BT and toluene into methylethyl ketone, poor solvent of PPO. The permittivity of the precursor PPO composites shows higher value than that of integral-blended PPO composites by extruder and coincides with the theoretical value calculated by logarithmic rule of mixture. The blend of PPO and cross-linked triallyl isocyanurate is most effective for lowering the permittivity and loss tangent owing to the suppression of the orientation polarization of matrix. In contrast, 4,4'-(1,3-phenylene diisopropylidene) bisaniline, which has amine unit in its structure, increases the permittivity as well as loss tangent of the composite, but it has the ability to densify the matrix resin and the interfacial adhesion between the matrix and filler to improves flexural strength and modulus.

It is necessary to minimize the mismatch of sintering shrinkage between dielectric ceramic and Ni inner electrode layers for the purpose of developing the ultra high-capacity multi layered ceramic condenser(MLCC). Thus, low temperature sintering of dielectric $BaTiO_3$ ceramic should be precedently investigated. In this work, the influence of the milling condition on sintering behavior and electrical properties of $BaTiO_3$ ceramics was investigated in the $BaTiO_3$(BT)-Mg-Dy-Mn-Ba system with borosilicate glass as a sintering agent. As milling time increased, specific surface area(SSA) of the powder increased linearly, while both sinterability and dielectric property were found to be drastically decreased with an increasing SSA. It was also revealed that the sinterability of the excessively milled $BaTiO_3$ ceramics could be recovered by increasing Ba content, rather than increasing glass addition. These results suggest that the sintering behavior of $BaTiO_3$ ceramics under the high SSA was more strongly dependent on the transient liquid phase caused by Ba addition, than the liquid phase from additional glass.

In this study, piezoelectric and dielectric properties of the $(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3-(1-x)(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3-xBaTiO_3$ [NKN-(1-x)BNT-xBT] ceramics were investigated. The lead-free NKN-(1-x)BNT-xBT ceramics were fabricated by a conventional mixed oxide method. The results indicate that the addition of $BaTiO_3$ significantly influences the sintering, microstructure, phase transition and electrical properties of NKN-BNT ceramics. A gradual change in the piezoelectric and dielectric properties was observed with the increase of BT contents. The dielectric constant, piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$) and electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$) increased at the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). The $d_{33}$=184 pC/N, $k_p$=0.38, dielectric constant=1455 with dielectric loss value of less than 1% were obtained for the NKN-0.95BNT-0.05BT ceramics sintered at $1150^{\circ}C$ for 2h. These results demonstrate that the NKN-(1-x)BNT-xBT ceramics is an attractive candidate for lead-free piezoelectric materials.

Particle growth of BT-oxalate was investigated in aging with various additives such as glycerine, chloro-form and NaCl. Their effects on size and morphlogy of particle was examined. It can be known that particle size distributions of BT-oxalate precipitate varied with amounts of these additivies. With small amounts of these additives, particle growth of nonuniform distribution was occurred, but above 1 mole percent of those additives, uniform size distributions of about 0.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ could be obtain. There was little difference among the effects by the kinds of additives. From the decomposition of uniform BT-oxalate, BaTiO3 powders of about 0.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ could be obtained.

Lead-free piezoelectric materials have been actively studied to substitute for conventional PZT based solid solution, $Pb(Zr_xTi_{1-x}O_3)$, which occurs unavoidable PbO during the sintering process. Among them, Bismuth Sodium Titanate, $Na_{0.5}Bi_{0.5}TiO_3$ (abbreviated as NBT) based solid solution is attracted for the one of excellent candidates which shows the strong ferroelectricity, Curie temperature (Tc), remnant polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec). Especially, the solid solution of rhombohedral phase NBT with tetragonal perovskite phase has a rhombohedral - tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary. Modified NBT with tetragonal perovskite at the region of MPB can be applied for high frequency ultrasonic application because of not only its low permittivity, high electrocoupling factor and high mechanical strength, but also effective piezoelectric activity by poling. In this study, solid state ceramic processing of NBT and modified NBT, $(Na_{0.5}Bi_{0.5})_{0.93}Ba_{0.7}TiO_3$ (abbreviated as NBT-7BT), at the region of MPB using 7 % $BaTiO_3$ as a tetragonal perovskite was introduced and the structure between NBT and NBT-7BT were analyzed using rietveld refinement. Also, the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of NBT-7BT such as permittivity, piezoelectric constant, polarization hysteresis and strain hysteresis loop were compared with those of pure NBT.

$BaTiO_3$(BT) has high permittivity so that has been applied to dielectric and insulator materials in 3D system-level package integration. In order to achieve excellent performance of device, the BT layer should be highly dense. In this study, BT thick films were prepared by the inkjet printing method. And these films were cured at $280^{\circ}C$ after infiltration of polymer resin. As a result, we have successfully fabricated not only the inkjet-printed hybrid BT film but also metal-insulator-metal(MIM) capacitor without sintering process. Changes in the dielectric constant of BT hybrid film with particle size and packing density were investigated. The dielectric constant was increased with increasing packing density and particle size. Further, the BT hybrid film using two different size particles had even higher packing density and dielectric constant.

Lead free positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) ceramics based on $BaTiO_3-(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ solid solution were prepared by a conventional solid state reaction method. The phase structure was showed single phase with perovskite structure regardless calcinations temperature and $Ba_{1-x}(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})_xTiO_3$ structure was transformed from tetragonal to orthorhombic phase at $x{\geq}0.15$ mole. The XRD peaks with $45^{\circ}{\sim}46^{\circ}$ shifted in right the influence of crystal structure change and the intensity of peak was decreased with additive $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$. The curie temperature risen with additive $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ but disappeared for $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ addition more than 0.15 mole in TMA. In relative permittivity, the curie temperature by the transform of ferroelectric phase risen with additive $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ but decreased in relative permittivity. Also, the peak of new curie temperature showed the sample containing $0.025{\sim}0.045$ mole of $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ near $70^{\circ}C$ caused by phase transform from ferroelectric to ferroelectric and the peak of new curie temperature disappeared at 0.045 mole of $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$. In our study, it was found that the PTCR in $BaTiO_3-(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ system was possible for $0{\sim}0.025$ mole of $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ and the maximum curie temperature by phase transition showed about at $145^{\circ}C$.

Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3-BaTiO3 solid solution was formed by mixed-oxide method. The phase during formation was analysed by XRD and formation mechanism was investigated. While heat-treating Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 composition, the first, Pb2Nb2O7 and Pb3Nb2O8 pyrochlore phases are formed, and finally Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 perovskite phase with containing Pb3Nb4O13 pyrochlore phase is obtained at 80$0^{\circ}C$. When Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 composition is modified with PbTiO3 which have strong ionic bonding and high tolerance factor, the amount of pyrochlore phase is decreased by increasing of stability in perovskite structure.

후막형 무기 EL (electro-luminescence) 소자는 제조공정이 간단하고, 얇고, 가볍고, 유연한 동의 많은 장점들 때문에 휴대폰의 키패드 (key-pad) 및 광고용 back-light용으로 사용되고 있다. 이 무기 EL 소자는 비교적 손쉬운 스크린 프린팅 (screen-printing) 법으로 대면적을 제작할 수 있지만, LED (light emitting diode) 등과 비교하여 밝기가 낮아서 그 응용 분야가 제한되고 있다. EL 소자의 형광층은 전면 전극과 후면 전극 사이에 위치한다. EL은 이 형광층에 고 전기장이 걸릴 때, 전기장에 의해 가속된 전자가 형광층 내부에 첨가된 발광 중심의 전자를 여기시키고, 여기된 전자가 다시 바닥상태로 완화될 때 빛이 방출되는 현상이다. 즉, EL 소자는 이러한 전자 발광 현상을 이용한 소자로서, 전압 인가 시 발광 면 전체가 균일하게 발팡하는 평면 광원이다. 이러한 EL 소자에서 휘도의 증가는 후면 전극과 형광층 사이에 삽입되는 유전체 층의 특성과 밀접한 연관성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 고휘도 무기 EL 소자를 제작하기 위하여 이 유전체 층의 특성과 소자의 성능 사이의 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 유전체 층에 사용하기 위해서 $BaTiO_3$-PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride)의 복합체 필름을 제조하였다. 먼저 이 복합체 필름을 스크린 프린팅 (screen printing) 법으로 코팅하기 위한 페이스트 제작을 위해서, PVDF 수지를 용제에 녹였다. 그 다음, 일반 혼합기 및 삼단 롤밀 혼합기 (3-roll milling mixer) 등을 이용하여 $BaTiO_3$ 분말과 PVDF 용액을 다양한 비율로 혼합하여 페이스트를 제조하였다. ITO가 증착된 PET Film에 스크린 프린팅 법을 사용하여 형광층, 유전층, 배면 전극 등을 차례로 코팅하였다. $BaTiO_3$ (BT) 분말과 복합체 필름의 XRD 분석 결과, 분말 시료와 복합체 시료 모두 페로브스카이트 구조의 BT 회절선만 관찰되었다. 복합체의 단면 SEM 관찰에서는, BT 분말의 무게비가 증가할수록 더 치밀한 구조를 보여줌을 확인하였다. 또 EL소자의 유전상수와 휘도도 BT 분말의 혼합비가 증가할수록 증가하였다. 본 연구에서 제작한 무기 EL 소자의 최대 휘도는 약 $130\;cd/m^2$ 정도로 측정되었는데, 이는 휴대폰 키패드의 back-light용 광원으로 사용하기 충분하다고 판단되어진다.
