The electrical and dielectric characteristics of ZPCCY-based varistor ceramics were investigated in the sintering time range of 1∼3 h. Increasing sintering time deteriorated the nonlinearity, in which nonlinear exponent is decreased from 51.2 to 23.8 and leakage current is increased from 1.3 to 5.6 $\mu$A. As sintering time increases, the donor concentration was decreased in the range of (1.25∼l.73)$\times$10$\^$18/cm$\^$-3/ and the density of interface states is (3.64∼94.19)$\times$10$\^$12/cm$\^$-2/ with increasing sintering time. The increase in sintering time caused tan $\delta$ to increase in the range of 0.043 to 0.062 and relaxation time to increase in the range of 1.55 to 2.23 ㎲.

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.

The microstructure, voltage-current, capacitance-voltage, and dielectric characteristics of CCT doped Zn/Pr-based varistors were investigated at different sintering temperatures. As the sintering temperature increased, the average grain size increased from 4.3 to 5.1 ${\mu}m$ and the sintered density was saturated at 5.81 g $cm^{-3}$. As the sintering temperature increased, the breakdown field decreased from 7,532 to 5,882 V $cm^{-1}$ and the nonlinear coefficient decreased from 46 to 34. As the sintering temperature increased, the donor density, density of interface states, and barrier height decreased in the range of (9.06-7.24)${\times}10^{17}\;cm^{-3}$, (3.05-2.56)${\times}10^{12}\;cm^{-2}$, and 1.1-0.95 eV, respectively. The dielectric constant exhibited relatively low value in the range of 529.1-610.3, whereas the $tan{\delta}$ exhibited a high value in the range of 0.0910-0.1053.

The sintering effect on the microstructure, electrical properties, and dielectric characteristics of ZnO-V₂O₅-MnO₂-Nb₂O₅-Dy₂O₃-based ceramics was investigated. With the increase of sintering temperature from 875 to 950℃, the density of the sintered pellets decreased from 5.57 to 5.45 g/cm³ and the average grain size increased from 4.3 to 10.9 μm. The breakdown field decreased noticeably from 6,095 to 996 V/cm with the increase of sintering temperature. The varistor ceramics sintered at 900℃ exhibited the best nonlinear properties: 39.2 in the nonlinear coefficient and 0.24 mA/cm² in the leakage current density. The dielectric constant increased sharply from 658.6 to 2,928.8 with the increase of sintering temperature. On the whole, the dissipation factor exhibited a fluctuation with the increase of the sintering temperature, and a minimum value of 0.284 at 900℃.

Piezoelectric transformers have been widely used such as DC-DC convertor, invertor, Ballast, etc. Because, the y have some merits compared with electro-magnetic transformers such as step-up ratio, high efficiency, small size and lg hit weight, etc. Piezoelectric transformer require high electromechanical coupling factor kp in order to induce a large out put power in proportional to applied electric field. And also, high mechanical quality factor Qm is required to prevent mechanical loss and heat generation. In general, PZT system ceramics should be sintered at high temperatures between 1200 and $1300^{\circ}C$ in order to obtain complete densification. Accordingly, environmental pollution due to its PbO evaporation. Hence, to reduce its sintering temperature, various kinds of material processing methods such as hot pressing, high energy mill, liquid phase sintering, and using ultra fine powder have been performed. Among these methods, liquid phase sintering is basically an effective method for aiding densification at low temperature. In this study, In order to comparis on low temperature sintering and solid state sintering piezoelectric transformers, rosen type transformers were fabricated u sing two PZT ceramics compositions and their electrical properties were investigated.

Electrical sintering of the front electrode for crystalline silicon solar cells was performed applying a constant DC current to the printed lines. Conducting lines were printed on glass substrate by a drop-on-demand (DOD) inkjet printer and silver nanoparticle ink. Specific resistance and microstructure of sintered silver lines and were measured with varying DC current. To find the relation between temperature increase with changing applied current and specific resistance, temperature elevation was also calculated. Sintering process finished within a few milliseconds. Increasing applied DC current, specific resistance decreased and grain size increased after sintering. Achieved minimum specific resistance is approximately 1.7 times higher than specific resistance of the bulk silver.

Sintering oxide which was prepared by sintering at $1200^{\circ}C$ the mixture of ${\gamma}$-$Fe_2O_3$ and $Sb_2O_3$ in 2 : 1 mol ratio, showed 1st electrical switching and stable 2nd switching when D.C. voltage was applied. This electrical switching mechanism was known to be thermal mechanism from dependence of environmental temperature of threshold Voltage(Vm), Current(Im) and the conductivity of the current filament of the sintering oxide.

Electrical conduction mechanisms of RuO2-based thick film resistors were investigated with frequency depandence on AC conductivity. Electrical conduction mechanisms of lower resistivity system (100{{{{ OMEGA }}/sq) sintered at 600~90$0^{\circ}C$ were all metallic conduction mechanism. In case of higher resistivity (10K{{{{ OMEGA }}/sq) system, the electrical conduction mechanisms were very depenent on sintering temperature. When sintering temperature was $600^{\circ}C$, the electrical conduction mechamism was ionic, and as increasing the sintering temperature, the electrical conduction mechanism was changed from ionic to hopping conduction mechanism.
