Barium strontium calcium titanate powders were prepared with the sol-gel method. Ferroelectric $(Ba_{0.54}Sr_{0.36}Ca_{0.1})TiO_3$(BSCT) thick films were fabricated by the screen-printing method on alumina substrate. Then we investigated the structural and dielectric properties of the BSCT thick films at different sintering temperatures. The thermal analysis showed that the BSCT polycrystalline perovskite phase formed at around $660^{\circ}C$. The X-ray diffraction analysis showed a cubic perovskite structure with no second phase present in all of the BSCT thick films. The average grain size and the thickness of the specimens sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$ were about $1.6{\mu}m$ and $45{\mu}m$, respectively. The relative dielectric constant increased and the dielectric loss decreased as the sintering temperature was increased; for BSCT thick films sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$ the values of the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss were 5641 and 0.4%, respectively, at 1 kHz.

We have grown piezoelectric oxide films by RF magnetron sputtering using miscut substrates. Films were Brown on(001) $SrTiO_3$ substrates with miscut angles from 0 to 8 degrees toward the (100) direction. Films on high miscut substrates (>$4^{\circ}$) showed almost the pure perovskite phase in x-ray diffraction and were nearly stoichiometric. In contrast, films on exact (001) $SrTiO_3$ contained a high volume fraction of pyrochlore phases. A film on an $8^{\circ}$ miscut substrate exhibits a polarization hysteresis loop with a remnent polarization of 20$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at room temperature.

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.

This paper describes the design and fabrication of distributed analog phase shifter circuit. The phase shifter consist of coplanar waveguide(CPW) lines that are periodically loaded with voltage tunable (Ba,Sr)TiO$_3$ thin film interdigital(IDT) capacitors deposited by the pulsed laser deposition(PLD) on (001) MgO single crystals. The phase velocity on these IDT loaded CPW lines is a function of applied bias voltage, thus resulting in analog phase shifting circuits. The measured differential phase shift is 48$^{\circ}$ and the insertion loss decreases from -5㏈ to -3㏈ with increasing bias voltage from 0 to 40 V at 100㎐.

In this study, the multilayered thin films of (Ba,Sr)TiO3/K(Ta,Nb)O3 were fabricated by the sol-gel and spin coating methods, and their structural and electrical properties were investigated. The specimen showed polycrystalline X-ray diffraction (XRD) characteristics with a tetragonal structure. The average grain size and film thickness for one coating were about 30~40nm and 60nm, respectively. The phase transition temperature of specimen was lower than 10 ℃. The dielectric constant and loss at 20 ℃ of the specimen coated six times were 1,231 and 0.69, respectively. The rate of change in dielectric constant at an applied direct current (DC) voltage of the six times coated thin films was 17.3%/V. The electrocaloric effect was the highest around the temperature at which the remanent polarization rapidly changed. When an electric field of 660kV/cm was applied to the triply coated thin films, the highest electrocaloric property of 4.41 ℃ was observed.

Perovskite oxide materials are very important for the electronics industry, because they exhibit promising properties. With an interest in the obvious applications, significant effort has been invested in the growth of highly crystalline epitaxial perovskite oxide thin films in our laboratory. And the desired structure of films was formed to achieve excellent properties. $Y_1Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (YBCO) superconducting thin films were simultaneously deposited on both sides of 3 inch wafer by inverted cylindrical sputtering. Values of microwave surface resistance R$_2$ (75 K, 145 GHz, 0 T) smaller than 100 m$\Omega$ were reached over the whole area of YBCO thin films by pre-seeded a self-template layer. For implementation of voltage tunable high-quality varactor, A tri-layer structured SrTiO$_3$ (STO) thin films with different tetragonal distortion degree was prepared in order to simultaneously achieve a large relative capacitance change and a small dielectric loss. Highly a-axis textured $Ba_{0.65}Sr_{0.35}TiO_3$ (BST65/35) thin films was grown on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrate for monolithic bolometers by introducing $Ba_{0.65}Sr_{0.35}RuO_3$ (BSR65/35) thin films as buffer layer. With the buffer layer, the leakage current density of BST65/35 thin films were greatly reduced, and the pyroelectric coefficient of $7.6\times10_{-7}$ C $cm^{-2}$ $K^{-1}$ was achieved at 6 V/$\mu$m bias and room temperature.

We fabricated SrTiO$_3$thin film capacitor on the Ag/Si-wafer by RF sputtering deposition. And I-V characteristics and structual analysis of the thin film capacitor are investigated. We found that the leakage current of the films during deposition is strongly denpent on the ambient gas and substrate temperature. Because of increase of activation energy, leakage current increased at high temperature and resistivity of the films was decreased. According to the increase of oxygen gas flow rate, the conductivity of thin film capacitor was increased and leakage current was decreased.
