Epoxy/$BaTiO_3$composite capacitor films with excellent stability at room temperature, uniform thickness, and electrical properties over a large area ware successfully fabricated. The composite capacitor films with good film formation capability and easy process ability were made from epoxy resin developed for ACF as a matrix and two kinds of $BaTiO_3$powders as fillers to increase the dielectric constant of the composite film. The crystal structure of the powders and its effects on dielectric constant of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). And the optimum amount of dispersant, phosphate ester, was determined by viscosity measurement of suspension. DSC and dielectric property tests were conducted to decide the right curing temperature and the optimum amount of the curing agent. As a result, the capacitors of 7 $\mu \textrm{m}$ thick film with 10 nF/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and low leakage current were successfully demonstrated.

$NiO{\cdot}(Co_{0.25}Mn_{0.75})_2O_3$(Mn-Ni-Co) and $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}TiO_3$(BST) thick films were screen printed on Pt patterned alumina substrate to investigate the effects of sintering temperature on humidity and temperature sensing properties of ceramic sensors. A raise in sintering temperature increased resistance and B constant of the Mn-Ni-Co temperature sensor. This may have derived from the synergic effects of the reduction in charge carriers caused by the substitution of Co for Mn as well as the formation of microcracks from the difference in thermal expansion coefficients. Dependence of resistance on humidity of the Mn-Ni-Co temperature sensor, however, was not found. BST films sintered at temperatures in the range of $1100^{\circ}C$ to $1150^{\circ}C$ showed excellent humidity sensing properties. The BST humidity sensor was faster in its response than the Mn-Ni-Co temperature sensor. The humidity sensor, however, proved to be unstable under various temperatures, suggesting a need for a temperature stabilizing device. In contrast, the Mn-Ni-Co temperature sensor was stable under humid conditions.

The properties of tunable dielectric materials on RF frequency band are important high tunability and low loss for RF variable devices, variable capacitor, phased array antenna and other components application. Various composite of BST(barium strontium titanate) ratio combined with other non-electrical active oxide ceramics have been formulated for such uses. We present the tunable properties and Curie temperature on BST thick films. The grain growth of the weight ratio of $BaTiO_3$ increased. This can be explained by the substitute $Sr^{2+}$ ion for $Ba^{2+}$ ion in the $BaTiO_3$ system. The Curie temperature was shifted to lower temperature with increasing $SrTiO_3$in the $BaTiO_3-SrTiO_3$ system, because of decreasing the lattice constant. Also, the dielectric constant, tunability and K-factor of $(Ba_xSr_{1-x})TiO_3$ at over the Curie temperature decreased, at over the $60^{\circ}C$ fixation, maximum dielectric constant at Curie temperature and hence sharper phase transformation occurred at Curie temperature. The result were interpreted as a process of internal stress relaxation resulting form the increase of $90^{\circ}$ domains induced the BST. As a result, It is concluded that over the Curie temperature, frequency response and DC field effect for the tunable properties of BST thick film are suppressed by the transition broadening. For the application of tunable devices, that the curie temperature was investigated to be increased.

The heterolayered PZT/PT thick films were fabricated by two different methods - thick films of the PZT by screen printing method on alumina substrates electrodes with Pt, thin films of $PbTiO_3$ by the spin coating method on the PZT thick films and once more thick films of the PZT by the screen printing method on the $BaTiO_3$ layer The structural and the dielectric properties were investigated for effect of various stacking sequence of sol-gel prepared $PbTiO_3$ coating solution at interface of the PZT thick films. The insertion of $PbTiO_3$ interlayer yielded the PZT thick films with homogeneous and dense grain structure with the number of $PbTiO_3$ layers. The leakage current density of the PZT/$PbTiO_3-1$ film is less that $4.41{\times}10^{-9}\;A/cm^2$ at 5 V.

$BaTiO_3$ 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 $BaTiO_3$ layer should be highly dense. In this study, $BaTiO_3$ thick films were prepared by the inkjet printing method using 4 vol.% $BaTiO_3$ colloidal inks and cured at $28^{\circ}C$ for 5 h after infiltration of polymer resin for non-sintered process using 3 vol.% cyanate ester emulsion ink. From the obtained results. packing density was determined to be improved by overlapping rabbit ears which were generated by coffee ring effect. We also calculated the packing densities of the films and correlated these packing densities to the measured permittivity of the films.

Li이 첨가된 0.7(Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$-0.3MgO 후막 interdigital 커패시터를 연구하였다. Li이 첨가된 0.7(Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$-0.3MgO의 후막을 $Al_2O_3$ 기판 위에 형성하기 위하여 스크린 프린팅 방법을 이용하였다. $BaSrTiO_3$의 세라믹 물질은 높은 유전율(1MHz에서 500이상)과 낮은 유전 손실(1MHz에서 0.01)값을 가지고 있는 반면, $1350^{\circ}C$의 높은 온도에서 소결되는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $BaSrTiO_3$ 세라믹 물질의 유전특성을 향상시키고 $1350^{\circ}C$의 높은 소결온도를 낮추기 위해서, MgO(30wt%)와 Li(3wt%)을 $BaSrTiO_3$에 첨가하였다. 그리고 10um의 후막을 $Al_2O_3$ 기판 위에 스크린 프린팅 방법을 통해 형성한 후, 50um finger gap의 interdigital 커패시터를 Ag 전극을 이용하여 제작하였다. 샘플을 제작하기 전에, Frequency와 유전율의 상관관계를 알아보기 위해 3D simulator를 통해 시뮬레이션 하였고, 주파수와 온도별 유전 특성, 구조와 전암-전류에 대한 특성을 본 연구의 결과를 통해 토의 할 것이다.

Lead free $(Ba_{0.7}Ca_{0.3})TiO_3$ thick films with nano-sized grains are prepared using an aerosol deposition (AD) method at room temperature. The crystallinity of the AD thick films is enhanced by a post annealing process. Contrary to the sharp phase transition of bulk ceramics that has been reported, AD films show broad phase transition behaviors due to the nano-sized grains. The polarization-electric hysteresis loop of annealed AD film shows ferroelectric behaviors. With an increase in annealing temperature, the saturation polarization increases because of an increase in crystallinity. However, the remnant polarization and cohesive field are not affected by the annealing temperature. BCT AD thick films annealed at $700^{\circ}C/2h$ have an energy density of $1.84J/cm^3$ and a charge-discharge efficiency of 69.9 %, which is much higher than those of bulk ceramic with the same composition. The higher energy storage properties are likely due to the increase in the breakdown field from a large number of grain boundaries of nano-sized grains.

A single-coat $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ (YBCO) film of high critical currents ($I_c$) could be successfully fabricated by optimizing the viscosity of the coating solution in the metal-organic deposition (MOD) process. From a Ba-deficient coating solution (Y: Ba: Cu = 1: 1.5: 3) having the viscosity of 212 $mPa{\cdot}sec$, 0.9 ${\mu}m$-thick single coat YBCO film with the $I_c$ value of 289 A/cm-width ($J_c$ = 3.2 MA/$cm^2$) at 77 K was achievable on the $SrTiO_3$ (STO) substrate, which was superior to that of our previous report for 0.8 ${\mu}m$-thick single coat YBCO film from a stoichiometric coating solution (Y: Ba: Cu = 1: 2: 3) on the $LaAlO_3$ (LAO) substrate. This result might be attributed to denser and more homogeneous microstrcuture in the case of the YBCO film from the Ba-deficient coating solution.

Thin film Ba$^{0.7}Sr^{0.3}TiO^{3}$ (BST) capacitors were fabricated on SiO$_{2}$/Si substrates by RF magnetron sputtering method and characterized at microwave frequencies ranging from 40 MHz to 1GHz to examine the dielectric dispersion of the capacitors. The BST thin films were electrode material of BST thin films capacitor which is known as one of the best electrode materials for BST films. 50$\AA$-thick titanium (Ti) layers were introduced to increase adhesion between bottom Pt and SiO$_{2}$. The leakage current density of the capacitors was about 1.7${\times}10^{7}A/cm^{2}$ at 1.5V and the dielectric constant was about 140 at 1MHz. Microwave measurement patterns having a coplanar waveguide type were fabricated and their S parameters were measured using network analyzer. After de-embedding parasitic components in microwave measurement patterns nearly frequency-invariant dielectric constant of about 120 was extracted in the measurement range of 40 MHz to 1 GHz.

$BaTiO_3$ nano powder can be synthesized by hydrate salt method at $120^{\circ}C$ in air. Decreasing the thickness of thick film, the nano dielectric particle is needed in electronic ceramics. However, the synthesis of $BaTiO_3$ nano particle at low temperature in air and their mechanism were not reported enough. And ultrasonic treatment can be tried because of low temperature process in air. Therefore, in this study, the $BaTiO_3$ nano powder was synthesised with the synthesis time and ultrasonic treatment at $120^{\circ}C$ in air. In the synthesis process, the effects of process were evaluated. From the experimental observation, the synthesis mechanism was proposed. The homogeneous $BaTiO_3$ particle was synthesised by KOH salt solution at $120^{\circ}C$ for 1hour. It was conformed that the ultrasonic treatment effected on the increase of synthesis rate. After cutting the salt powder using FIB, $BaTiO_3$ nano particles observed homogeneously in the cross-section of the salt particle.
