Ternary compound ceramics, (1-y-x) BaTiO$_3$-y SrTiO$_3$-x MgTiO$_3$(0.00 x 0.20), were fabricated by the conventional ceramic process. The structural and dielectric properties of specimens were investigated while varying the composition and sintering temperature(1,200~1,45$0^{\circ}C$) in order to obtain the optimum condition of capacitor. As is well known, Curie temperature(T$_{c}$) of high dielectric-based ceramic(BaTiO$_3$) was shifted and temperature of capacitance was decreased in according to increase of solid solution with (Sr, Mg)TiO$_3$. As a result, a suitable condition of compound rate for capacitor was obtained such as the BSM-11(0.8BaTiO$_3$-0.1SrTiO$_3$-0.1MgTiO$_3$), and sintering temperature was sintered at 1,25$0^{\circ}C$ for two hours. In this case, dielectric constant<1,300, dielectric loss(tan$\delta$)<0.03, and the variation rate of capacitance had less than 3% in the range -10~7$0^{\circ}C$.>.

An experimental device was developed for analysis of hydraulic oil characteristics with dielectric constant sensors. Online analysis is the most effective method of the three methods used for analyzing lubricant oils. This is because it can monitor the machine condition effectively using oil sensors in real time without requiring excellent analysis skill and eliminates human errors. Determining the oil quality usually requires complex laboratory equipment for measuring factors such as density, viscosity, base number, acid number, water content, additive, and wear debris. However, the electric constant is another indicator of oil quality that can be measured on-site. The electric constant is the ratio of the capacitance of a capacitor using that material as a dielectric, compared with a similar capacitor that has a vacuum as its dielectric. The electric constant affects the factors such as the base oil, additive, temperature, electric field frequency, water content, and contaminants. In this study, the tendency of the electric constant is investigated with a variation of temperature, water content, and dust weight. The experimental device can control working temperature and mix the contaminants with oil. A machine condition monitoring program developed to analyze hydraulic oil is described. This program provides graph and digital values with variation of time. Moreover, it includes an alarm system for when the oil condition is bad.

In this study, high dielectric materials, (Pb,La)Ti $O_3$ thin films were fabricated by PLD (Pulsed Laser Deposition) method and investigated in terms of structural and electrical characteristics in order to develope the dielectric materials for the use of new capacitor layers of Giga bit-level DRAM. The deposition conditions were examined in order to fabricate uniform thin films through systematic changes of oxygen pressures and substrate temperature. The uniform thickness and smooth morphology of (P $b_{0.72}$L $a_{0.28}$)Ti $O_3$ thin films were obtained at the conditions of substrate-target distance 5.5[cm], laser energy density 2.1[J/$\textrm{cm}^2$], oxygen pressure 200[mTorr] and substrate temperature 500[$^{\circ}C$]. After the (P $b_{0.72}$L $a_{0.28}$)Ti $O_3$ thin films were fabricated under the above conditions, they were post-annealed by RTA process in order to increase the dielectric constant. The film thickness of 1200 [$\AA$] had dielectric constant 821. Assuming that operating voltage is 2V, leakage current density of (P $b_{0.72}$L $a_{0.28}$)Ti $O_3$ thin films would result into 10$^{-7}$ [A/$\textrm{cm}^2$] and satisfied the specification of 256M DRAM planar capacitor, 4$\times$10$^{-7}$ [A/$\textrm{cm}^2$]m}^2$]

The doping effect of Sn on the microstructure evolution and dielectric properties was studied in $CaCu_3Ti_{4-x}Sn_xO_{12}$ polycrystals. Samples were produced by a conventional solid-state reaction method. Sintering was carried out at $1115^{\circ}C$ for 2-16 h in air. The dielectric constant and loss were examined at room temperature over a frequency range between $10^2$ and $10^6$ Hz. The microstructure was found to evolve into three stages. Addition of $SnO_2$ led to an increase in density and advanced formation of abnormal grains. The formation of coarse grains with a reduced thickness of the boundary brought about an enhanced dielectric constant and a lower dielectric loss below ~1 kHz. EDS data showed the Cu-rich phase along the grain boundary, which should contribute to the improved dielectric constant according to the internal barrier layer capacitor model. After all, $SnO_2$ was an effective dopant to elevate the dielectric characteristics of $CaCu_3Ti_{4-x}Sn_xO_{12}$ polycrystals as a promoter for abnormal grain growth.

BMNO dielectric materials with a pyrochlore structure have been chosen and they have quite high dielectric constants about 210 for the bulk material. In the case of thin films, 200-nm-thick BMNO films deposited at room temperature showed a low leakage current density of about $10^{-8}\;A/cm^2$ at 3 V and a dielectric constant of about 45 at 100 kHz. Because high dielectric constant BMNO thin films kept an amorphous phase at a high temperature above $900^{\circ}C$. High dielectric constant BMNO thin films grown at room temperature have many applications for flexible electronic devices. However, because the dielectric constant of the BMNO films deposited at room temperature is still low, percolative BMNO films (i.e., those were grown in a pure argon atmosphere) sandwiched between ultra-thin BMNO films grown in an oxygen and argon mixture have greater dielectric constants than standard BMNO films. However, they still showed a leakage problem at a high voltage application. Accordingly, a new nano-structure that uses BMNO was required to construct the films with a dielectric constant higher than that of its bulk material. The fundamental reason that the BMNO-Bi nano-composite films grown by RF-Sputtering deposition had a dielectric constant higher than that of the bulk material was addressed in the present study. Also we used the graphene as bottom electrode instead of the Cu bottom electrode. At first, we got the high leakage current density value relatively. but through this experiment, we could get improved leakage current density value.

The variation of electrical properties of (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ [BST] thin films for Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor (MIS) capacitors was investigated. BST thin films were deposited on p-Si(100) substrates by the RF magnetron sputtering with temperature range of 500~$600^{\circ}C$. The dielectric properties of MIS capacitors consisting of AUBST/$SiO_2$/Si sandwich structure were measured for various conditions. We examined the characteristics of MIS capacitor with various oxygen pressure, substrate temperature and (Ba+Sr)/Ti ratio. It was found that the leakage current was reduced in MIS capacitor with high quality $SiO_2$ layer was grown on bare p-Si substrate by thermal oxidation. The BST MIS structure showed relatively high capacitance even though it is the combination of high-dielectric BST thin films and $SiO_2$ layer. The charge state densities of the MIS capacitors and Current-voltage characteristics of the MIS capacitor were investigated. By applying $SiO_2$ layer between BST thin films and Si substrate, low leakage current of $10^{-10}$ order was observed.

A stacked high-voltage (900 V) Al electrolytic capacitor made with ZrO₂ coated anode foils, which has not been studied so far, is realized and the effects of Zr-Al-O composite layer on the electric properties are discussed. Etched Al foils coated with ZrO₂ sol are anodized in 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (MPD)-boric acid electrolyte. The anodized Al foils are assembled with stacked structure to prepare the capacitor. The capacitance and dissipation factor of the capacitor with ZrO₂ coated anode foils increase by 41 % and decrease by 50 %, respectively, in comparison with those of Al anode foils. Zr-Al-O composite dielectric layer is formed between separate crystalline ZrO₂ with high dielectric constant and amorphous Al₂O₃ with high ionic resistivity. This work suggests that the formation of a composite layer by coating valve metal oxide on etched Al foil surface and anodizing it in MPD-boric acid electrolyte is a promising approach for high voltage and volume efficiency of capacitors.

Cooling equipment is the frequent occurrence of fire despite the absence of the heating element. National fire statistics in 2013 show that a total of 263 fires occurred in the cooling equipment and the number of electric fan has 145 fire cases. This is accounted for 55.1% of the whole. Electric fan is the electrical appliance that the heat is generated on the winding wire and the iron core. If such characteristic is not controled properly, fire would break out at the electric fan. also there is a gap filled with an insulator between connection terminals of the capacitor in the electric fan. But in case that the gap on the capacitor is covered with some conductive material such as dust, there would be a fire as well caused by electrical heating locally. Although many studies related with those have been conducted, electric fan fire is continuously occurred. In this study, thermal characteristics and current signal in various conditions such as the heat generation of windings including iron cores of the motor and the dielectric breakdown of terminals on the capacitor connected to the motor were detected. In order to measure the maximum temperature, "third level" wind velocity button was pushed and the time selection switch to "continuation" was set. Analyzed data would be available for the fire safety of the electric fan.
