$(Ba_{0.6-x}-Sr_{0.4}Ca_x)TiO_3$ (x=0.10, 0.15, 0.20, y=$0.0{\sim}3.0$) powders were fabricated by the sol-gel method, and BSCT thick films were fabricated by the silk-screen printing method. Their structural and dielectric properties were investigated with variation of composition ratio. All BSCT thick films showed a homogeneous structure without presence of the second phase. BSCT film thickness, obtained by three cycle of printing, was approximately $80{\mu}m$. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the 3-coated BSCT(50/40/10) thick film were approximately 1700 and 0.07%, respectively.

$(Ba_{0.6-x}Sr_{0.4}Ca_x)TiO_3$(x=0.10, 0.15, 0.20) ceramics were fabricated by the mixed-oxide method and their structural and dielectric properties were investigated with variation of composition ratio and sintering temperature. As a result of the differential thermal analysis(DTA), exothermic peak was observed at around $1020^{\circ}C$ due to the formation of the polycrystalline perovskite phase. BSCT(50/40/10) specimen sintered at $1500^{\circ}C$ showed the highest average grain size(18.25$[{\mu}m]$). Curie temperature and dielectric constant at room temperature decreased with increasing amount of Ca. BSCT(50/40/10) specimen sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$ showed a good dielectric constant, K, (=4324) and dielectric loss, $tan{\delta}$, (=0.972%) properties at 1[KHz].

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.

BSCT 320${\times}$240 IRFPA detector module is implemented, which is a key component in uncooled thermal imaging systems. The detector module consists of two parts, infrared sensitive pixel array and read-out integrated circuit(ROIC). The BSCT 320${\times}$240 pixels are made by laser scribe process and 10-${\mu}m$ micro-bump to satisfy 50-${\mu}m$ pitch and 95-% fill-factor. The ROIC has been designed to electrically address the pixels sequentailly and to improve signal-to-noise ratio with single transistor amplifier, HPF, tunable LPF and clamp circuit. The fabricated hybrid chip of detector and ROIC has been mounted on the TEC built-in ceramic package for more stable operation and tested for lots of electrical and optical properties. The IRFA sample has shown successful properties and met with good results of fill-factor, detectivity and responsivity.
