In this study, in order to develop excellent lead free piezoelectric ceramics for piezoelectric actuators application, $Li_{0.04}(Na_{0.50}K_{0.50})_{0.96}[(Nb_{0.86}Ta_{0.10}Sb_{0.04})_{0.994}Co_{0.015}]O_3+0.0025SrO+0.15\;wt%K_2CO_3+x\;wt%Nb_2O_5$ (x = 0 - 0.5 wt%) (abbreviated as LNKNTSCS-xN) ceramics were fabricated by a conventional sintering technique. the phase structure, microstructure and electrical properties were investigated with a emphasis on the influence of the $Nb_2O_5$ content. High electrical properties of $d_{33}$=234 pC/N, kp=0.392, ${\varepsilon}_r$=1,395, ${\rho}=4.70g/cm^3$ were obtained from the specimen with x=0.4 wt%, which suggests that the composition ceramics is a promising lead-free piezoelectric material.

Coupling optical modulator which on the $LiTaO_3$ substrate is fabricated by using proton exchange method and self-aligned method. Proton exchange of proton diffusion method was applied to pattern a waveguide on $LiTaO_3$ substrate. The annealing at >$400^{\circ}C$ was carded out to control waveguide width and depth. The depths of the two annealed optical waveguides, which were measured by using .alpha.-step, were 1.435 K.angs. and 1.380 K.angs. Using .alpha.-step facility, we examined that the width of waveguides is increased from 5.mu.m to 6.45 .mu.m and 6.3.mu.m due to the annealing effects. The process of proton exchange was done at 150.deg. C for 120 min, >$200^{\circ}C$ for 60 min and annealing process was done at >$400^{\circ}C$ for 90 min, >$400^{\circ}C$ for 60 min. The high speed coupling optical modulator has very good figures of merits; the measured high frequency power were achieved.

Recent progress of electric technology requires new piezoelectric crystals having superior properties such as zero temperature coefficients and large electromechanical coupling factors. We have developed a series of new leading chandidates, La$_3$Ga5SiO14(langasite, LGS), La3Nb0.5Ga5.5O14(LNG), La3Ta0.5O14(LTG), to satisfy those requirements. High quality LGS, LNG and LTG single crystals, with dimensions of 2 inches in diameter, were successfully grown by the Czochralski method at a pulling rate of 1mm/h. Since no variation of chemical composition was observed when whole melt in a crucible was crystallized, congruency of these compositions was confirmed. Physical constants such as elastic constants, dielectric constants and piezoelectric constants were measured. Filters and oscillators made of grown LGS, LNG and LTG single crystals showed superior properties such as three times wider passband than that of quartz, low insertion loss and easy processing, Langasite family crystals were shown to be superior materials to other known materials such as quartz, LiTaO$_3$, $\alpha$-AlPO$_4$ and Li$_2$B$_4$O7.

In this study, we analyzed and experimented micro-strip line inductors and capacitors for a SAW duplexer, an important devise for mobile communication. For SAW duplexers, micro-strip line lumped elements must have small impedance values, below several tens of nH or several tens of pF, and a small area pattern. In this study, we performed theoretical analysis of flat line type, meander line type, and spiral line type inductors and interdigital capacitors on a LiTaO$_3$ Piezo-crystal. We proposed a measurement method to evaluate small values of lumped elements accurately with network analyzer. In experiments, we confirmed validity of the theoretical analysis method through fabrication and characterization of micro-strip line lumped elements. The analysis method in this paper can be applied to SAW duplexers well as other microwave devices.

이동통신용 고주파 표면탄성파(SAW) 필터를 36$^{\circ}$Y-X LiTaO$_3$압전기판과 IIDT 전극구조를 이용하여 제작하였다. 제작한 SAW 필터의 중심주파수는 주파수 응답 특성 측정 결과 설계한 중심주파수보다 낮아짐이 관찰되었다. 이러한 단점을 보완하고 미세한 주파수의 조절을 가능하게 하기 위해 SiN$_{x}$ 유전박막을 보호막으로 증착하여 이에 따른 주파수 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. SAW파장에 대한 SiN$_{x}$ 유전 박막의 두께비를 증가시킬수록 SAW 진행 속도가 증가하여, 제조한 필터의 중심주파수를 높게 이동시킬 수 있었다. 그러나 유전박막의 두께가 증가할수록 필터의 삽입손실이 증가하는 문제점이 존재하였다.

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with the composition of $(Na_{0.54}K_{0.46})_{0.96}Li_{0.04}(Nb_{1-0.10-x}Ta_{0.10}Sb_x)O_{3}$ (x= 0~8 mol%) were fabricated by nomal sintering at $1,090^{\circ}C$ for 5 h. the phase structure, microstructure and electrical properties were investigated with a emphasis on the influence of the Sb content. All samples exhibit a single perovskite phase over the whole compositional range. For the ceramics with x= 4 [mol%], two phase transitions are observed at $75^{\circ}C$ and $366^{\circ}C$, corresponding to the phase transitions of orthorhombic to tetragonal (To-t) and tetragonal to cubic (Tc), respectively. high electrical properties of $d_{33}$= 210.83 pC/N, kp= 40%, ${\varepsilon}_r$= 1,091.35, $\rho$= 4.54 g/$cm^2$ were obtained from the specimen with x= 4 [mol%], which suggests that the composition ceramics is a promising lead-free piezoelectric material.

As a candidate for lead-free piezoelectric materials, dense $95(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3-5LiTaO_3$ (NKN-5LT) ceramics were developed by conventional sintering process. Sintering temperature was lowered by adding $Li_2O$ as a sintering aid. The electrical properties of NKN-5LT ceramics were investigated as a function of $Li_2O$ concentration. At the addition of 1 mol% $Li_2O$, electromechanical coupling factor $(k_P)$ and piezoelectric coefficient $(d_{33})$ of NKN-5LT ceramics were found to reach the highest values of 0.37 and 250 pC/N, respectively.

Electrical and structural properties were investigated on the effects of ZnO and the lead-free NKN-LST ceramics with the addition of ZnO were fabricated by a conventional mixed oxide method. A gradual change in the crystal and microstructure was observed with the increase of ZnO addition. For the NKN-LST-ZnO ceramics sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$, bulk density increased with the addition of ZnO and showed maximum value at addition 2.0mol% of ZnO. Curie temperature of the NKN-LST-ZnO ceramics slightly decreased with adding ZnO. The dielectric constant, piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$) and electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$) increased at the small amount of ZnO addition, which might be due to the increase in density. The high piezoelectric properties = 153 pC/N, electromechanical coupling factor = 0.484 and dielectric constant = 2883 were obtained for the NKN-LST+0.5ZnO ceramics sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 2h.
