Aerosol deposition method(ADM)는 상온에서 에어로졸화된 고상의 원료분말을 노즐을 통해 분사시켜 소결과정을 거치지 않고도 상온에서 고밀도 후막을 제조할 수 있는 공정으로서, 다양한 재료의 코팅이 가능하고, 코팅층의 조성 및 화학 양론비의 제어가 용이한 특징을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 ADM을 이용하여 큰 유전상수, 압전계수, 초전계수, 탄성계수를 갖는 $BaTiO_3$ 분말을 원료로 하여 압전소자, 커패시터, 고전압용 유전체 등에 응용이 가능한 세라믹 층 형성에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 또한 $BaTiO_3$ 같은 강유전체 세라믹을 이용하여 여러 가지 소자를 제조하는 경우 소자의 미세조직에 따라 물성이 영향을 받는 것으로 확인되어져 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 세라믹 분말보다 상대적으로 탄성이 큰 polymer 분말을 첨가하여 후막 내부의 결정립의 크기가 20 nm 의 평균 결정립을 갖는 세라믹 후막에 비해 최대 10 배 정도까지 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이에 따라 후막에서의 유전율 및 유전손실율의 전기적 특성 변화를 확인할 수 있었고, 이러한 물성변화에 대한 원인 고찰을 위하여 후막의 미세구조 및 화학조성 등에 대한 다양한 분석이 이루어 졌으며, 상온에서 성막되는 후막의 세라믹 층의 응용을 위한 최적의 공정조건을 제시하고자 한다.

This report is results of a research on recent R&D trends in electroceramics, mainly focusing on the papers submitted to the organizing committee of the International Conference on Electroceramics 2005 (ICE-2005) which was held at Seoul on 12-15 June 2005. About 380 electroceramics researchers attended at the ICE-2005 from 17 countries including Korea, presenting and discussing their recent results. Therefore, we can easily understand the recent research trends in the field of electroceramics by analyses of the subject and contents of the submitted papers. In addition to the analyses of the papers submitted to the ICE-2005, we also collected some informations about domestic and international research trends to help readers understand this report easily. We analysed the R&D trends on the basis of four main categories, that is, informatics electroceramics, energy and environment ceramics, processing and characterization of electroceramics, and emerging fields of electroceramics. Each main category has several sub-categories again. The informatics ceramics category includes integrated dielectrics and ferroelectrics, oxide and nitride semiconductors, photonic and optoelectronic devices, multilayer electronic ceramics and devices, microwave dielectrics and high frequency devices, and piezoelectric and MEMS applications. The energy and environment ceramics category has four sub-categories, that is, rechargable battery, hydrogen storage, fuel cells, and advanced energy conversion concepts. In the processing and characterization category, there exist domain, strain, and epitaxial dynamics and engineering sub-category, innovative processing and synthesis sub-category, nanostructured materials and nanotechnology sub- category, single crystal growth and characterization sub-category, theory and modeling sub-category. Nanocrystalline electroceramics, electroceramics for smart sensors, and bioceramics sub-categories are included to the emerging fields category. We hope that this report give an opportunity to understand the international research trend, not only to Korean ceramics researchers but also to science and technology policy researchers.

최근 커패시터의 전극은 Pt, Au등으로 이용되고 있다. 이러한 전극의 전기적 특성은 우수하나 고가이다. 본 연구에서는 전극의 저가격화 측면에서 알루미늄 전극 위에 BaTiO$_{3}$를 증착하고 기관의 온도를 실온에서 600[.deg. C]까지 변화시켜 RF스퍼터링법으로 제작하였다. BaTiO$_{3}$세라믹의 유전특성은 구성하고 있는 입자의 강유전 분역 밀도와 입자의 크기에 의존하므로 입자가 성장되는 온도영역에서 입자의 크기와 유전율간의 관계를 연구하였다. 또한 BaTiO$_{3}$박막 커패시터의 유전상수는 BaTiO$_{3}$세라믹과 알루미늄기관의 계면에서 산화특성이 일어나기 때문에 기관온도의 변화에 의해 조사되었다. 기관의 온도를 증가시킴에 따라 결정면의 피크와 강도는 증가하였으며, 유전특성은 결정입자의 크기가 0.8[.mu.m]일때 가장 양호하였다. 유전율값은 기판 온도가 400[.deg. C]일 때 가장 크게 나타났다. 결과적으로, 알루미늄 전극에 BaTiO$_{3}$세라믹을 증착하여 저가의 적층용 세라믹 콘덴서를 제조할 수 있음을 알았다.

Ferroelectric properties and reliability characteristics of(111) and (100) preferentially oriented tetragonal Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 (PZT) thin film capacitors have been investigated as a function of the top electrode thickness. The (111) preferentially oriented film exhibits 180$^{\circ}$domain switching process with better squareness of hysterisis loop and abrupt change of small singal capacitance-voltage comparing to the (100) preferentially oriented film having 90$^{\circ}$ domain switching process. The domain swithcing process of tetragonal phase PZT is different from that of rhobohedral phase. The film with thinner top electrode shows less initial switching polarization due to less compressive stress but it exhibits better endurance characteristics due to enhancing partial switching region.

ZT/PZT/ZT multi-layered thin films were deposited on silicon substrate by co-sputtering method for FEMFET device application. Effects of Pb/(Zr+Ti) ratio, films thickness, annealing conditions and substrate temperature on the ferroelectric behavior of the multi-layered films were studied. The best memory device characteristics with leakage current of 2$\times$10-8 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and breakdown field of about 1 MV/cm could be obtained with ZT(250 $\AA$) / PZT(1000 $\AA$)/ZT(750 $\AA$) multi-layered thin film deposited at 35$0^{\circ}C$ and post-annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ for 120 sec by RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing).

Electron emission from the Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 ferroelectrics by pulsed electric field has been investigated as a function of Zr/Ti ratios such as 35/65, 50/50 and 65/35 below 250kV/cm. Electrons were emitted regardless of the applied field polarity to the rear electrode. When the negative field was applied to the rear electrode, the electron emission charge was more stable. It was proved that the electrons were emitted at the edge of the upper electrode. The emission charge increased in order of 65/35>50/50>35/65. The electron emission characteristics were dependent on the ferroelectric properties such as polarization and coercive field. The emission charge and emission threshold field were affected by the polarization change and the coercive field, respectively. This result explains that the electron emission is a field emission with polarization induced surface potential by a modified Fowler-Nordheim plot of emission charge.

Dielectric property of Ba-modified 0.65Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.35PbTiO3 ceramics having compositions near the morphotropic phase boundary was investigated. For the specimens having Ba contents between 0 and 20 at%, the average transition temperature was decreased linearly with increasing Ba contents and the degree of hysteresis was also decreased with increasing Ba contents. The maximum dielectric constants (K), electric field induced polarization(P) and electrically-induced strain(S) were found to exihibit a maximum value at∼3 at% of Ba. The increase of S and the decrease of hysteresis by minor additions of Ba impurities indicated the development of new higher perfomance actuator materials. The composition of Ba-PMN-PT (10/65/35) may be appropriate for capacitor materials because of low hysteresis and high polarization.

To study various relaxation phenomena of $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ relaxor ferroelectrics, weak electric-field properties as well as strong electric-field properties were investigated in the frequency range from 1 Hz to 100 kHz. The temperature dependence of the dielectric properties were measured under the low electric-field of 1 V/mm in the phase transition temperature range from $-40^{\circ}C$ to $90^{\circ}C$. The dielectric properties obtained from the slope of the dielectric hysteresis loop and the temperature dependence of the pyroelectric properties were also investigated. When fitting all the experimental data with the Vogel-Fulcher relation, experimental data were agreed with the equation closely. Thus, dielectric relaxations could be modeled by the Vogel-Fulcher relation not only for the low electric-field but also for the high electric-field.

The measurement of strain under an electric field has been widely employed to comprehend the fundamental principles of electro-mechanical responses in ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and electrostrictive materials. In particular, understanding the strain properties of piezoelectric materials in response to electrical stimulation is crucial for researching and developing components such as piezoelectric actuators, acoustic devices, and ultrasonic generators. This tutorial paper introduces the components and operational principles of the linear variable differential transducer (LVDT), a widely used displacement measurement device in various industries. Additionally, we present the configuration of an experimental setup using LVDT to measure the strain characteristics of ferroelectric, piezoelectric, or electrostrictive materials under the application of an electric field. This paper includes simple measurement results and analyses obtained through the LVDT experimental setup, providing valuable information on research methods for the electro-mechanical interactions of various materials.
