High dielectric (Ba, Sr) TiO$_3$ thin films were etched in an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) as a function of Cl$_2$/Ar mixing ration. Under Cl$_2$(20)/Ar(80), the maximum etch rate of the BST films was 400 $\AA$/mim and selectivities of BST to Pt and PR were obtained 0.4 and 0.2, respectively. Etching products were redeposited on the surface of BST and resulted in varying the nature of crystallinity. Therefore, we investigated the etched surface of BST by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) atomic force microscopy (AFM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). From the result of XPS analysis, we found that residues of Ba-Cl and Ti-Cl bonds remained on the surface of the etched BST for high boiling point. The morphology of the etched surfact was analyzed by AFM. A smoothsurface(roughness ~2.8nm) ws observed under Cl$_2$(20)/Ar(80), rf power of 600 W, dc bias voltage of -250 V and pressure of 10 mTorr. This changed the nature of the crystallinity of BST. From the result of XRD analysis, the crystallinities of the etched BST film under Ar only and Cl$_2$(20)/Ar(80) were maintained as similar to as-deposited BST. However, intensity of BST(100) orientation under Cl$_2$ only plasma was abruptly decreased. This indicated that CI compounds were redeposited on the etched BST surface and resulted in changed of the crystallinity of BST during the etch process.

We studied the effect of the variation of the lattice constant on the electrical properties of $SrRuO_3$ thin films. In order to obtain films with different volumes, we varied the substrate temperature and oxygen pressure during the growth of the films on $SrTiO_3$ (001) substrates. The films were grown using a pulsed laser deposition method. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the grown films at low temperature and low oxygen pressure indicated the elongation of the c-axis lattice constant compared to that of the films grown at a higher temperature and higher oxygen pressure. The in-plane strain states are maintained for all of the films, implying the expansion of the unit-cell volume by the oxygen vacancies. The variation of the electrical resistance reflects the temperature dependence of the resistivity of the metal, with a ferromagnetic transition temperature inferred form the cusp of the curve being observed in the range from 110 K to 150 K. As the c-axis lattice constant decreases, the transition temperature linearly increases.

Etch rates up to 120 nm/min for $Ta_{2}O_{5}$ were achieved in both $SF_{6}/Ar$ and $Cl_{2}/Ar$ discharges. The effect of ultraviolet (UV) light illumination during ICP etching on $Ta_{2}O_{5}$ etch rate in those plasma chemistries was examined and UV illumination was found to produce significant enhancements in $Ta_{2}O_{5}$ etch rates most likely due to photoassisted desorption of the etch products. The effects of ion flux, ion energy, and plasma composition on (Ba, Sr)$TiO_3$ etch rate were examined and maximum etch rate ~90 nm/min was achieved in $Cl_{2}/Ar$ ICP discharges while $CH_{4}/H_{2}/Ar$ chemistry produced extremely low etch rates (${\leq}10\;nm/min$) under all conditions.

[ $(Ba,Sr,Ca)TiO_3$ ] powders, prepared by the sol-gel method, were mixed with an organic vehicle and the BSCT thick films were fabricated by the screen printing techniques on alumina substrates. The grain size decreased with increasing amounts of $MnO_2$, and the BSCT(50/40/10) thick film doped with 1wt% $MnO_2$ showed a value of 6.5mm. The thickness of thick films by four-cycle on printing/drying was approximately 100mm. The relative dielectric constant, dielectric loss and tunability of the BSCT(S0/40/10) thick films doped with 1.0wt% $MnO_2$ were 1296, 0.61% and 11.18%, respectively.

The $(Sr_{0.9}Ca_{0.1})TiO_3(SCT)$ thin films were deposited on Pt-coated electrode (Pt/TiN/$SiO_2$/Si) using RF sputtering method. The composition of SCT thin film deposited on Si substrate at room temperature is close to stoichiometry(1.081 in A/B ratio). The maximum dielectric constant of SCT thin film was obtained by ammealing at $600^{\cric}C$. The temperature dependence of dielectric loss showed a value within 0.02 in temperature ranges of -80 ${\sim}$ +90$^{\circ}C$. The capacitance characteristics showed a stable value within ${\pm}$4%. The drastic decrease of dielectric constant and increase of dielectric loss in SCT thin films was observed at the frequency above 200kHz.

Sr0.9Bi2+xTa2O9(x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) thin films on IrO2/SiO2/Si or Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate were prepared by spin coating method using SBT stock solutions synthesized by MOD process. SBT thin films on IrO2 transformed to layered perovskite phase at $700^{\circ}C$, but showed low breakdown voltage due to their porous microstructure. The smaple of Sr0.9Bi2+xTa2O9 composition showed the best dielectric and electrical properties. When the sample of the same composition was annealed at 80$0^{\circ}C$, the dielectric and electric properties were improved due to the grian growth and dense surface. the remanent polarization values(2Pr) at $\pm$3 V for IrO2 and Pt electrodes were 10.5, 7.15$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$, respectively. The SBT thin film with IrO2 electrode showed the lower coercive field. The leakage current density and breakdown voltage of SBT thin films on IrO2 were higher than those on Pt.

MgO 단결성 (100) 기판 위에 0.5 wt% Nb 첨가된 전기전도성의 SrTiO3 (Nb:STO) 박막을 Pulsed Laser Deposition 법으로 제조하였다. 산소압력, 타겟과 기판거리, 기판온도, 박막증착시간 등의 박막형성 조건을 다양하게 변화시켜 Nb:STO박막의 격자상수와 박막두께의 변화를 조사하였다. $700^{\circ}C$에서 제작한 0.5 wt% Nb doped SrTiO3 박막의 배향성은 산소분압변화에 따라(100), (110)과 (111)배향이 관찰되었고, 박막제조시의 산소분압이 79.8 Pa로 증가됨에 따라 격자상수는 감소하여 벌크값인 0.390 nm에 근접하였다. 증착시간증가에 따른 박막의 두께는 증착시간에 비례하여 증가하였고, 격자상수의 변화는 거의 없었다. 타겟과 기판사이의 거리가 멀어짐에 따라 박막의 두께는 감소하였으나, 격자상수에는 큰 변화가 없었고 박막두께분포의 균일성이 향상되었다.

Pb0.5,Sr0.5TiO3(PST) thin films were deposited on Si with MgO (100) buffer layer by the alkoxide-based sol-gel method. Structural and dielectric properties of PST thin films for the tunable microwave device applications were investigated. For the MgO/Si buffer layer, the PST thin films exhibited highly (100) orientation. The MgO buffer layer affects the stress state of the (100)-oriented PST thin films. The dielectric constant, tunability, and FOM of the highly (100)-oriented PST thin film increased with increasing annealing temperature due to the decrease in lattice distortion. The differences in dielectric properties may be attributed to the change in the film stress. The dielectric constants, dielectric loss and tunability of the PST thin films deposited on the MgO/Si substrates measured at 10 kHz were 822, 0.025, and 80.1%, respectively.
