The phase relations and microstructure appeared at 1700℃ in a system of Si3N4-Al2O3-SiO2 were studied. The samples were pressurelessly sintered at 1700℃ for 1hr and reheated at 1600℃ for 1hr under nitrogen atmosphere. The compounds formed were identified by X-ray diffraction method and the microstrues were observed by SEM. The stable phases appeared in this system were X-phase, Si2ON2, β'-Si3N4 and Mullite. From the results of those experiments, it was concluded that the X-phase has very close composition to that proposed by G, K. Layden, Si3Al6O12N2. SEM photographs showed that Si2ON2 was a plate phase and X-phase was a rectagular plate phase.

The change in microstructure and the electrical properties of Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-PbTiO3 Ceramics caused by V2O5 addition were studied. The results are ; 1. interability was increased because the mass transport through the second phase formed by V2O5 addition increased. 2. ith addition of V2O5, tetragonality and Curie temperature increased. The maximum value of kp was observed when 0.5wt% of V2O5 was added. 3. he second phase formed by V2O5 accelerated the grain growth, and existed in grain boundary. Electrical properties were changed by corelations between tetragonality and the amount of second phase.

Densification and grain growth behaviors of ITO ceramics were investigated as a function of TiO2 ad-ditions. TiO2 addition led to inhibition of the grain growth and promotion of the densification of ITO ceram-ics. From the microstructure observation it was found that the crack-like voids which were formed in pure ITO specimens decreased with increase of TiO2 additon. The grain growth exponent(n) was measur-ed to be 4 for pure ITO 3 for TiO2-doped ITO specimens respectively. It was supposed that the grain boun-dary migration of pure ITO ceramics was controlled by the pores which were moved by surface diffusion. On the contrary the grain boundary migration of TiO2-doped ITO specimens was depressed by solute drag effect. The activation energies for grain growth were measured to be 1013 kJ/mol for pure ITO ceramics and 460kJ/mol for TiO2-doped ITO specimens respectively.

${\beta}$-silicon carbides with yttrium aluminum garnet of 2,5,10 mol% were prepared by a liquid--phase sint-ering and the microstructural evolution and phase transformation were investigated during sintering as functions of liquid-phase amount and sintering time. The rate of grain growth decreases with the addition of the amount of yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) in the SiC starting powder however the apparent density and the aspect ratio of grains in sintered body increase. The phase transformation from ${\beta}$-SiC to ${\alpha}$-SiC were dependent on the liquid-phase amount and sintering time.

배향 입자층과 비배향 입자층이 상호적층된 알루미나 적층복합체를 연속 테입캐스팅 및 상압소결에 의해 제조하였다. 알루미나의 미세구조 배향을 위하여 알루미나 판상입자를 배향물질(template)로 사용하였으며, 알루미나의 입자배향 거동에 미치는 액상의 영향을 알아보기 위해 anorthite(CaAl$_2$Si$_4$O$_{8}$)를 첨가하였다. 적층체 내의 알루미나 입자배향을 X-선 회절법으로 분석한 결과 (006)면과 (1010)면으로 배향되어 있었다. 액상조성이 첨가되지 않은 경우와 비교시 anorthite를 첨가한 경우 입자배향층 내에는 액상으로 인한 큰 기공이 생성되었으며 배향도는 감소되었다. 그러나, 액상조성으로 anorthite가 첨가되어 입자배향이 이루어진 적층체 계면에서는 입자배향으로 인한 효과적인 균열전파 제어 거동이 관찰되었다.

Two-component ceramic (alumina-zirconia) composites were fabricated by a soft-solution process in which polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used as a polymeric carrier. Metal salts and PEG were dissolved in ethyl alcohol without any precipitation in 1:1 volume ratio of alumina and zirconia. In the non-aqueous system, the flammable solvent made explosive, exothermic reaction during drying process. The reaction resulted in formation of volume expanded, porous precursor powders by a vigorous decomposition of organic components in the precursor sol. The PEG content affected the grain size of sintered composites as well as the morphology of precursor powders. The difference of microstructure in sintered composite was attribute to the solubility and homogeneity of metal cations in precursor sol. At the optimum amount of the PEG polymer, the metal ions were dispersed effectively in solution and a homogeneous polymeric network was formed. It made less agglomerated particles in the precursor sol and affected on uniform grain size in sintered composite.

This paper describes a novel processing technique for fabrication of polymer-derived SiCN (silicone carbonitride) microstructures for super-temperature MEMS applications. PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) mold is fabricated on SU-8 photoresist using standard UV photolithographic process. Liquid precursor is injected into the PDMS mold. Finally, solid polymer structure is cross-linked using HIP (hot isostatic pressure) at $400^{\circ}C$, 205 bar Optimum pyrolysis and anneal ins conditions are determined to form a ceramic microstructure capable of withstanding over $1400^{\circ}C$. The fabricated SiCN ceramic microstructure has excel lent characteristics, such as shear strength (15.2 N), insulation resistance ($2.163{\times}10^{14}\;{\Omega}$) and BDV (min. 1.2 kV) under optimum process condition.

The purpose of this investigation was to study the stability of perovskite structure, the variation of electrical properties and a microstructure with varing amount of PbTiO3 additive in PZN-PT-BT system. The results are as follows: 1. The pyrochlore phase was reduced as the amount of PbTiO3 additive was increased and completely eliminated at 0.15PT in PZN-PT-BT system. 2. The aging rate was increased in proportion to tetragonality because the internal stress was increased in proportion to tetragonality. 3. On increasing the amount of PbTiO3 additive, the Curie temperature was increased in proportion to tetragonality. 4. As the amount of PT in the composition increase, the variation of dielectric constant was sharpened and the diffuseness of the transition decreased.
