전자싸이클로트론공명-플라즈마 화학기상증착법으로 $PbTiO_3$박막을 증착하였다. $RuO_2$ 기판과 Pt 기판 위에 금속유기화합물 원료기체 유량 및 증착온도에 따라서 $PbTiO_3$박막의 증착특성을 연구하였다. $RuO_2$ 기판 위에서 Pt 기판에 비하여 Pb-oxide 분자의 잔류시간이 상대적으로 크고, 페로브스카이트 핵생성 밀도는 상대적으로 작으며, 단일한 페로브스카이트 상의 $PbTiO_3$ 박막을 얻을 수 있는 공정범위가 Pt 기판보다 좁았다. $PbTiO_3$ 박막 증착 전 Ti-oxide 씨앗층을 도입함으로써 $RuO_2$ 기판에서도 페로브스카이트 핵생성 밀도를 증가시켜 단일한 페로브스카이트 박막을 얻을 수 있는 공정범위가 확장되었다. $PbTiO_3$에서 Ti 성분을 Zr으로 일부 대체시킨 $Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3\;(PZT)$ 박막의 경우에도 Ti-oxide 씨앗층을 도입함으로써 넓은 공정범위에서 단일한 페로브스카이트 PZT 박막을 $RuO_2$기판 위에서도 제조할 수 있었다.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is vital for detecting the onset of damage and for preventing catastrophic failure of civil infrastructure systems. In particular, piezoelectric transducers have the ability to excite and actively interrogate structures (e.g., using surface waves) while measuring their response for sensing and damage detection. In fact, piezoelectric transducers such as lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) have been used for various laboratory/field tests and possess significant advantages as compared to visual inspection and vibration-based methods, to name a few. However, PZTs are inherently brittle, and PVDF films do not possess high piezoelectricity, thereby limiting each of these devices to certain specific applications. The objective of this study is to design, characterize, and validate piezoelectric nanocomposites consisting of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles assembled in a PVDF copolymer matrix for sensing and SHM applications. These films provide greater mechanical flexibility as compared to PZTs, yet possess enhanced piezoelectricity as compared to pristine PVDF copolymers. This study started with spin coating dispersed ZnO- and PVDF-TrFE-based solutions to fabricate the piezoelectric nanocomposites. The concentration of ZnO nanoparticles was varied from 0 to 20 wt.% (in 5 % increments) to determine their influence on bulk film piezoelectricity. Second, their electric polarization responses were obtained for quantifying thin film remnant polarization, which is directly correlated to piezoelectricity. Based on these results, the films were poled (at 50 $MV-m^{-1}$) to permanently align their electrical domains and to enhance their bulk film piezoelectricity. Then, a series of hammer impact tests were conducted, and the voltage generated by poled ZnO-based thin films was compared to commercially poled PVDF copolymer thin films. The hammer impact tests showed comparable results between the prototype and commercial samples, and increasing ZnO content provided enhanced piezoelectric performance. Lastly, the films were further validated for sensing using different energy levels of hammer impact, different distances between the impact locations and the film electrodes, and cantilever free vibration testing for dynamic strain sensing.

The PZT based piezoelectric thick films prepared by screen printing method have been mainly used as a functional material for MEMS applications due to their compatibility of MEMS process. However the screen printed thick films generally reveal poor electrical and mechanical properties because of their porous microstructure. To improve microstructure we mixed attrition milled powder with ball milled powder of 0.01Pb$(Mg_{1/2}W_{1/2})O_3$-0.41Pb$(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$-$0.35PbTiO_3$-$0.23PbZrO_3$+0.1 wt% ${Y_2}{O_3}$+1.5 wt% ZnO composition. By mixing 25 % of attrition milled powder and 75 % of ball milled powder, the broadest particle size distribution was obtained, leading to a dense thick film with crack-free microstructure and improved dielectric properties. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the film was in wellcrystallized perovskite phase. The remanent polarization was increased from $13.7{\mu}C/cm^2$ to $23.3{\mu}C/cm^2$ at the addition of 25 % attrition milled powder.

A great deal of research has been done in the field of characterization for piezoelectric thin films after the first report on the measurement for the piezoelectric coefficient of thin films in 1990. The main idea of this research is to provide a distinctive solution for the measurement and standardization of both the longitudinal and the transverse piezoelectric d-coefficients, d33 and d31, of ferroelectric thin films. In general, to get these two coefficients of thin films, two different measuring systems are required. Here, we propose the improved method for the evaluation of these two coefficients with single equipment and with the relatively convenient procedure. The two-step loading process of applying the both positive and the negative pressure has been introduced to acquire the piezoelectric coefficients. These results have been calibrated for both the longitudinal and 4he transverse piezoelectric d-coefficients, d33 and 431, of thin films by comparison with the virtual standard created from FEM. In this experiments, we have obtained d33 of 331pC/N and 031 of -92.2pC/N for the PZT thin films.

The $SrRuO_3$/Si thin film electrodes are grown with (00l) preferred orientations on SrO buffered-Si (001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The optimum conditions of SrO buffer layers for $SrRuO_3$ preferred orientations are the deposition temperature of $700^{\circ}C$, deposition pressure of $1\;{\times}\;10^{-6}\;Torr$, and the thickness of 6 nm. The 100nm thick-$SrRuO_3$ bottom electrodes deposited above $650^{\circ}C$ on SrO buffered-Si (001) substrates have a rms roughness of approximately $5.0\;{\AA}$ and a resistivity of 1700 -cm, exhibiting a (00l) relationship. The 100nm thick-$Pb(Zr_{0.2}Ti_{0.8})O_3$ thin films deposited at $575^{\circ}C$ have a (00l) preferred orientation and exhibit $2P_r$ of $40\;C/cm^2$, $E_c$ of 100 kV/cm, and leakage current of about $1\;{\times}\;10^{-7}\;A/cm^2$ at 1V.

Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 (PZT) (Zr:Ti= 52: 48) thin films were prepared on MgO(100) substrates by dipping-py-rolysis process using metal naphthenates as starting materials. Thin films were fabricated by spin coating technique and the precursor films were prefired at 20$0^{\circ}C$ in air for 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 24 h followed by final heat treatment at 75$0^{\circ}C$ for 30min. Film prefired for 24 h lost orientational properties and pole figure analysis showed the lost of the epitaxial relationship between the films and substrate while highly a/c-axis oriented thin films were obtained for the samples prefired for 1, 2, and 3h.

This paper presents the vibration characteristics of an intelligent cantilever beam in contact with a fluid using a PZT actuator and PVDF film. The dynamic behaviors of a flexible beam-water interaction system are examined. The effect of the liquid level on free vibration of the composite beam in a partially liquid-filled circular cylinder is investigated. The coupled system is subject to an undisturbed boundary condition in the fluid domain. It was found that the coupled natural frequencies decreased with the fluid level for the identical composite beam due to added mass effect. In case of the free-free boundary condition, the natural frequency gently decreased at fluid water level betw...

A new valveless micropump for bi-directional application has been developed and tested. The micropump was fabricated on silicon and glass substrates by micromachining process. The micropump in this study consists of a membrane actuator, a pumping chamber, fluidic channels and two piezoelectric ceramic films. The channels and pumping chamber were etched on a glass wafer and the membrane was made on a silion wafer which is actuated by a piezoelectric ceramic (PZT) film. The geometry of the micropump was optimized by numerical analysis and the performance of the micropump was investigated by the experiments. The maximum flow rate was $323{\mu}L/min$ and the maximum back pressure was 294 Pa when the membrane actuator of $10{\times}10mm^2$ was driven at 130 Hz and 385 V.

The authors fabricated ultrasonic transducer with PVDF[poly(vinylidene fluoride)] piezoelectric polymer film. When impulse waves were applied to the PVDF ultrasonic transducer, the dependence of the response properties on the backing material with copper was investigated through not only theoretical calculations using Mason's equivalent circuit but also experimental measurements. The experimental pulse response properties agree with those of the theoretical calculations and the pulses were shorter than those for a PZT transducer. If such short-pulse properties are used in an medical ultrasonic image diagnosis apparatus, the resolution of the apparatus will be improved. When the insertion loss was calculated theoretically to the PVDF ultrasonic transducer, the frequency characteristics of its showed wideband frequency.

Fiber-Fabry-Perot (FFP) tunable filters, the essential component of WDM transmission, were designed, fabricated and characterized. Multi-layered thin film mirrors that consists of an optical collimater's corss section as a substrate and TiO$_{2}$SiO$_{2}$ alternating multi-layered films as a filter wer designed by means of the transfer matrix method. Fabricated mirrors showed the high reflectivity over around 98% as expected. After fabricating the tuneable filters using PZT, we measured FSR, FWHM, finesse , crosstalk and insertion loss, confirming that the built devices satisfied the optical filter's specifications required in the SEDM transmission systems.
