Plasma display panel is a potential candidate for HDTV, due to the fact hat the expansion of screen size is much easier using thick film technology. In this study, transparent dielectric materials using lead borosilicate glasses is developed, which satisfy the requirements of dielectrics for PDP. Paste is made of this glass composition. The paste has thixotropic behavior suitable for screen printing. The paste shows more thixotropic behavior as the particle size decrease. After firing, cross sectional area was analyzed by SEM. The void of fired thick film was removed using bimodal particle system. The dielectric showed good adhesion characteristics.

As a function of sintering temperature and time, the electrical properties of ruthenium based thick film resistors were investigated with microstructure. The variatio of resistivity and TCR(temperature coefficient of resistance)trends of sintered speciman at various sintering temperature were different low resistivity paste(Du Pont 1721) from high one(Du Pont 1741). These phenomena are deeply relative to microstructure of sintered film. With increasing the sintering temperature for 1721 system, the electrical sheet resistivity decreased, but again gradually increased above 80$0^{\circ}C$. And TCR trends in 1721 system are all positive. On the other hand the electrical sheet resistivity of 1741 resistor system decreased with sintering temperature. And TCR trends variable according to sintering temperature. TCR of speciman sintered at $700^{\circ}C$ was negative value, and TCR of 80$0^{\circ}C$ sintered speciman coexisted negative and positive value. But in case of speciman sintered at 90$0^{\circ}C$, TCR was positive value. As results of this fact, it was well known that the charge carrier contributied to electrical conduction in 1741 resistor system varied with sintering temperature.

In cofiring of multilayered alumina with tungsten, the change of camber with lamination condition was experimented and the effect of sintering shrinkage of alumina and tungsten was investigated. From the exact measurement of sintering shrinkage of tungsten thick film, as lamination pressure increased, the sintering shrinkage of alumina decreased but that of tungsten thick film was not changed. So it was though that the main factor which induced the sintering shrinkage difference between ceramics and metal with lamination condition was the change of sintering shrinkage of ceramics. In case of high lamination pressure, high green sheet density, the cofired specimen showed low camber due to low shrinkage difference between alumina and tungsten and there was a linear relation between camber and shrinkage difference. It was found that this shrinkage difference could change the thickness of tungsten film and the microstructure within via hole during cofiring.

The sintering behavior of silver-oxide glass composite thick-film has been studied with varing glass content. It is shown that during heat treatment glass became liquid phase to deeply affect the microstructure development of the silver particles and to control the physical properties of the thick-films. As glass content increased, the initial repacking of silver particles took place rapidly but the homogeneities of the microstructure showed different features. When the glass content was over some range, the silver particles exuded glass to decrease net energy and glass formed liquid pools separated from the solid skeletons. Finally the relations between the microstructures and electrical properties of the thick-film were discussed.

BiSrCaCuO superconducting ceramic thick films were fabricated by chemical process. The x ray diffraction pattern of the BiSrCaCuO thick films contained 110 K phase. The critical temperature of BiSrCaCuO thick films were Tc=95 K-97 K. The critical temperature and critical density of BiSrCaCuO thick film grown at $750 {\circ}C$ were Tc = 95 K and $Jc= 7{\times}10^{6} A/cm^{2}$ We obtained high-Jc as-grown BiSrCaCuO on an MgO substrate by low fressure CVD.

Line width under $100\;{\mu}m$ with good resolution is difficult to achieve using conventional thick-film process utilizing screen printing method. However combined with lithography technology finer line and space for miniaturization and highly integrated package is achievable. In this study, photosensitive Ag paste of optimum formulation used for thick film lithography technology was fabricated by various Ag powder, glass powder and additives. As the result, line width of $30\;{\mu}m$ with good definition and reduced mismatch during co-firing with LTCC substrate was acquired. Formulated Ag paste was used to pattern embedded fine line inductor with over 90% yield.

In2O3 thick film gas sensor for detecting NOx gas of high concentration was fabricated by a screen printing technique. This work focussed on investigation of the change of sensitivity to NOx gas with firing temperatures of sensing layer and on improvement of the sensitivity by adding catalysts such as Al,.

After $SnO_2$ fine powder by precipitation method, Ca as crystallization inhibitor and Pd as catalyst were added to $SnO_2$ raw material by various methods. Thick film device was fabricated on the alumina substrate by mixing ethylene glycol and such mixed powders. The sensing characteristics of the device for methane gas were investigated. The most excellent gas sensing property was shown by the thick film device fabricated by Method 3 in which Ca and Pd doped $SnO_2$ powder is prepared by mixing $SnO_2$ powder, 0.1 wt% Ca acetate and 1 wt% $PdCl_2$ in deionized water and by calcining the mixture, after $Sn(OH)_4$ is dried at $110^{\circ}C$ for 36h. The sensitivity of the sensor fabricated with $SnO_2$-0.1 wt%Ca acetate-1wt%$PdCl_2$ powder heat-treated at $700^{\circ}C$ for 1h was about 86% for 5,000 ppm methane in air at $350^{\circ}C$ of the operating temperature. Response time and recovery were also excellent.

Sol-gel preparation technique using a chemical reaction of metal alkoxides has been widely used for the fabrication of various materials including ceramics. However, its mechanism has been studied till now because a number of chemical ways are possible from various alkoxides and additives. In this study, the mechanism of hydrolysis, condensation, and polymerization of alkoxides were investigated from the fabrication of lead-zirconate-titanate (PbZr$\_$x/Ti$\_$l-x/O$_3$; PZT) thin film that is used as various micro-actuator, transducer, and sensor because of its high electro-mechanical coupling factors and thermal stability. Furthermore, the fabrication process and characteristics of self-patternable PZT film using photosensitive stabilizer were studied in order to resolve the problem of physical damage and properties degradation during dry etching for device fabrication. Using an optimum condition to prepare the self-patternable PZT film, more than 5000 ${\AA}$ thick self-patternable PZT film could be fabricated by three times coating. The PZT film showed 28.4 ${\mu}$c/cm$^2$ of remnant polarization (Pr) and 37.0 kV/cm of coercive field (E$\_$c/).
