We report the synthesis of $SrTiO_3$, $BaTiO_3$ and $Ba_xSr_{1-x}TiO_3$ (BST) nanoparticles (NPs) in various compositions (x = 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75) by an inorganic sol-gel method under a basic condition. Highly crystalline nanoparticles were formed at the reaction temperature of 25 - $100^{\circ}C$ from a stabilized titanium alkoxide in tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) and barium or strontium acetate in aqueous solution. Morphology and particle structure of the synthesized BST NPs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The BST nanoparticles in various compositions were monodispersed without mutual aggregation, and their average sizes were in the range of 70 - 80 nm. Furthermore, they showed highly crystallized perovskite phase over the whole composition range from $SrTiO_3$ to $BaTiO_3$. We also proposed a mechanism for the low-temperature formation of BST NPs.

0.96$(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3$-0.04$(Ba_{(1-x)}Sr_x)TiO_3$ lead free piezoelectric ceramics were synthesized to enhance the piezoelectric properties of (Na,K)$NbO_3$. The systhesis and sintering method were the conventional solid state reaction method and general sintering method in air atmosphere. The polymorphic phase transition(PPT) was observed at all composition(0 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 0.05) when $(Ba_{(1-x)}Sr_x)TiO_3$ were added in the $(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3$. As Sr concentration was increased, grain size, dielectric loss(tan$\delta$) and mechanical quality factor($Q_m$) were decreased and piezoelectric constant($d_{33}$) and electromechanical coupling factor($k_p$) were increased within a limited value. The optimized piezoelectric and properties, $d_{33}$, $k_p$, $Q_m$, and tand, of 0.96$(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3$-0.04$(Ba_{(1-x)}Sr_x)TiO_3$ were 139 pC/N, 0.31 %, 95, 0.04 at the composition of x=0.04.

In this paper, $Ba_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$TiO$_3$ thin films were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrate by RF magnetron sputtering method. We investigated effect of deposition conditions (especially RF input power) on structural properties of BST thin films. Deposit conditions of BST films were set working gas ratio, Ar:O$_2$= 70 : 30, working pressure 10mTorr, and RF input power 25W, 50W, 75W and 100W. Post-annealing using rapid thermal annealing(RTA) performed at 45$0^{\circ}C$, 55$0^{\circ}C$, $650^{\circ}C$, and 75$0^{\circ}C$ in oxigen ambient for 60 sec, respectively. The structural properties of BST films on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrate analysed by X-ray diffraction(XRD).).).

Dielectric properties of Ba1-$\chi$Sr$\chi$Ti1-yCayO3-y ceramics, where Sr and Ca were doped to Ba-site and Ti-site within the range of 0 x 0.24 and 0 y 0.05, respectively, were investigated. The substitution of Ca for Ti, which maintained the high resistivity of these formulations after sintering in a reducing atmosphere, was confirmed. Ca addition decreased the tetragonality c/a, increased the unit cell volume, and lowered Curie temperature, which were attributed to the occupancy of Ca2+ ions on Ti-sites. The lowering of Curie temperature by Ca addition was affected by the substitution of Sr for Ba-site; within 2 mol% of Ca, Curie temperature was lowered at a rate of 2$0^{\circ}C$ and 16$^{\circ}C$ per mol% of Ca at x=0 and x=0.08, respectively. Whereas the resistivity of the formulations without Ca was reduced to 107 {{{{ OMEGA }}cm, when sintered at low oxygen partial pressure of 10-9 MPa, the resistivity value higher than 1011 {{{{ OMEGA }}cm was maintained for the formulations containing Ca more than 0.5 mol%. Dielectric loss factor, tan$\delta$, was about 1% for most formulations.

BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 thin films were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate by the pulsed laser deposition process. The dependence of the deposited film quality upon the partial oxygen pressure during the deposition process was importantly examined. Regardless of the oxygen pressure, the as-deposited films were not fully crystallized. However, the film deposited at low oxygen pressure became well crystallized after the annealing process. It was concluded, therefore, that the partial oxygen pressure is reduced as low as possible during the deposition process and then anneal the as-deposited samples at ambient pressure to fabricate the well crystallized SrTiO3 and BaTiO3 films by laser ablation.

In this study, (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$(BST) thin films were etched with a magnetically enhanced inductively coupled plasma(MEICP) as a function Ar/$CF_4$ gas mixing ratio. Experiment was done by varying the etching parameters such as rf power, dc bias voltage and chamber pressure. The maximum etch rate of the BST films was 1700 ${\AA}/min$ under $CF_4/(CF_4+Ar)$ of 0.1, 600 W/350 V and 5 mTorr. The selectivity of BST to Pt and PR was 0.6, 0.7, respectively. X -ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) studies shows that there are surface reaction between Ba, Sr, Ti and C, F radicals during the etching. To analyze the composition of surface residue remaining after the etching, films etched with different $CF_4$/Ar gas mixing ratio were investigated using XPS.

BaTiO$_3$, SrTiO$_3$단일막과 BaTiO$_3$ (BTO)/SrTiO$_3$ (STO) 산화물 인공격자를 pulsed laser deposition (PLD) 법에 의해서 100 nm 두께의 (La,Sr)CoO3 (LSCO) 산화물 전극이 코핑된 MgO 단결정 기판 위에 증착시켰다. 이러한 기판위에서 2 unit cell의 적층 두께를 갖는 BTO/STO 초격자 (=BTO2/STO2)를 100～5 nm까지 변화시켰다. 또한 BTO와 STO 단일막도 같은 두께로 변화시켰다. 이러한 두께 범위에서 BTO, STO 단일막과 초격자의 격자변형에 따른 유전특성을 살펴 보았다. 두께 변화에 따른 단일막과 초격자의 구조 분석은 포항 방사광 가속기의 x-ray 회절에 의해서 이루어졌다. 다양한 두께를 갖는 BTO2/STO2 초격자에서 BTO와 STO 충은 in-plane 방향으로 격자정합을 유지하면서 변형되었다. 두께가 얇아지면서 하부 LSCO영향으로 BTO, STO의 n-plane 격자상수는 LSCO 격자상수 쪽으로 접근하였다. Out-of-plane 방향의 BTO 격자상수는 두께가 얇아지면서 증가하였고 반면에 STO 격자상수는 감소하였다. STO와 BTO 단일막의 격자변형은 두께가 얇아지면서 in-plane 방향으로 압축응력으로 인해 증가하였다. 그러나, 격자부정합도가 큰 BTO격자에서 더 많이 변형되었다. 또한 초격자에서 BTO격자가 BTO 단일막보다 더 많이 변형되었는데 초격자에서는 BTO, STO 두 층의 발달된 변형뿐만 아니라 하부 LSCO/MgO 기판의 영향을 함께 받고 있기 때문이다. 초격자와 단일막의 유전상수를 살펴보면은 두께가 감소하면서 유전상수가 감소하는 size effect을 보이고 있다. 하지만 초격자에서의 유전상수가 단일막보다 우수한 유전특성을 보이고 있다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 격자변형이 size effect 영향을 끼치는 중요한 요소임을 확인하였다.

In this study, we investigated the effects of structural and electrical properties of $(Ba_{0.6},\;Sr_{0.3},\;Ca_{0.1})TiO_3$ thick films with variation $Dy_2O_3$ contents. $(Ba_{0.6},\;Sr_{0.3},\;Ca_{0.1})TiO_3$ powders, prepared by the sol-gel method, were mixed organic vehicle. The BSCT thick films doped with 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 mol% $Dy_2O_3$ were fabricated by the screen-printing techniques on the alumina substrates and the structural and dielectric properties were investigated with variation of $Dy_2O_3$ doping contents. All BSCT thick films were sintered at $1420^{\circ}C$, for 2hr. In the TG-DTA analysis, the formation of the polycrystalline perovskite phase was observed at around $670 ^{\circ}C$. In the XRD analysis, all BSCT thick films showed the cubic perovskite structure. The average thickness of BSCT thick films was approximately $65{\mu}m$. The Curie temperature decreased with increasing $Dy_2O_3$ amount. The relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss of BSCT thick films doped with $Dy_2O_3$ 0.1 mol% were 6267 and 2.6 %, respectively.

최근 높은 유전상수와 잔류 분극, 비선형 등의 다양한 유전적인 특성으로 인해 산화물 박막이 많은 관심을 가지고 연구되어지고 있다. 많은 산화물 박막중에서도 BaTiO3/SiTiO3 (BTO/STO) 인 공격자는 STO나 BTO 또는 (Ba$_{0.5}$ Sr$_{0.5}$)TiO$_3$ (BST)등의 고용체들과 비교했을 때 아주 뛰어난 유전적인 성질을 나타내고 있다. 특히 1000 $\AA$ 이하의 낮은 두께에서도 높은 유전상수와 비선형도를 가진다는 사실이 선행된 실험에서 밝혀졌는데 BTO와 STO를 각각 2 unit cell (8 $\AA$)로 고정 시킨 후 다층 박막으로 제작했을 때 가장 큰 유전 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 이런 뛰어난 유전적인 성질은 BTO와 STO 각 층의 두께와 주기 변화에 따른 박막 내부의 인위적인 stress와 그에 따른 격자 변형과 아주 밀접한 관계가 있음으로 생각되어진다. 따라서 이런 두 계면에서의 stress와 격자 변형을 더욱 정착하게 분석하기 위해서는 각 층을 원자 단위로 정확하게 두께 제어를 하고 증착되어지는 과정중에서의 growth mode를 확인하는 것이 무엇보다 중요한 일이다.
