BaTiO₃ is one of the ferroelectric materials with excellent dielectric properties such as high dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, and is widely used for the manufacturing of capacitors, piezoelectric converters, microsensors, and ferroelectric memories. Inkjet printing is a technology which uses digital and contactless methods which significantly improves flexibility associated with material and structural design, reducing manufacturing costs. Therefore, the top and bottom electrodes, BaTiO₃ ink, and photocurable resin were all printed by an inkjet to produce a BaTiO₃ capacitor. The properties of the printed thin film were analyzed. It was confirmed that the photocurable resin ink was well-infiltrated between the BaTiO₃ powder particles printed by inkjet. The dielectric properties of the capacitor such as dielectric constant which varies in accordance with frequency, polarization and tunability that changes with voltage, were measured.

A pyroelctric properties of Ni(x)-doped PMNT systems were analyzed. Modified PMNT samples were prepared using the columbite structure method. Pyroelectric current, polarization, dielectric constant and dissipation factor of Ni-doped PMNT samples were measured as a function of temperature. By adding a small amount of NiO, pyroelectricity of PMNT is increased. Unlike the normal $ABO_3$ ferroelectric, Ni-doped PMNT showed properties for relaxor ferroelectric of causing the successive phase transition over a wide temperature. The optimum conditions for obtaining compositions with improvement ferroelectric properties are a nominal addition of 0.02 mole% Ni. Also, Ni-doped PMNT ferroelectric showed excellent pyroelectric figures of merit in the vicinity of room temperature. The pyroelectric coefficient ($0.00524C/m^2K$ at $25^{\circ}C$) and figures of merit ($F_v{\sim}0.039m^2/C$ and $F_d{\sim}0.664{\times}10^{-4}Pa^{-1/2}$) of composition PMNT with 0.02 mole% Ni are comparable to the earlier reports on lead-type pyroelectrics.

In this study, Pb(Z $r_{0.52}$ $Ti_{0.48}$) $O_{3}$ ceramic thin films were fabricated from an alkoxide-based by Sol-Gel method. Pb(Z $r_{0.52}$ $Ti_{0.48}$) $O_{3}$ stock solution was made and spin-coated on the Pt/ $SiO_{2}$/Si substrate at 4000[rpm] for 30[sec.]. Coated specimens were chied at 400[.deg. C] for 10[min]. The coating process was repeated 6 times and then heat-treated at 500-800[.deg. C] and 1 hour. The final thickness of the thin films were about 4800[.angs.]. The ferroelectric perovskite phases precipitated under the sintering of 700[.deg. C] for 1 hour. Pb(Z $r_{0.52}$ $Ti_{0.48}$) $O_{3}$ thin films sintered at 700[.deg. C] for 1 hour showed good dielectric and ferroelectric properties.

Ferroelectric $Bi_{3.25}Nd_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12}$(BNdT) thin films were proposed for capacitor of FeRAM. The BNdT thin films were grown on Pt/Ti $SiO_2/P-Si(100)$ substrates by the RF magnetron sputtering deposition. The dielectric properties of the BNdT were investigated by varying post-annealing temperatures. Increasing post-annealing temperature, the (117) peak was increased. An increase of rod type grains of BNdT films with increasing post-annealing temperature was observed by the Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy(FE-SEM). The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the BNdT thin films with post-annealing temperature of $700^{\circ}C$ were 418 and 0.37, respectively.

Dielectric thin films of $(Pb_{0.72}La_{0.28})Ti_{0.93}O_3$ were deposited on $Pt(111)/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrates in situ by pulsed laser deposition(PLD) and annealed with different gases which are forming gas and oxygen gas, respectively. The diffusion of hydrogen into the ferroelectric film was caused by annealing process and resulted in the destruction of polarization. The dielectric properties of forming gas annealed PLT thin films, which are dielectric constant, ferroelectric characteristic, and leakage current characteristics, were degraded

Ferroelectric properties of the PMT-PT were also studied from the temperature dependence of hysteresis loops using a method slightly modified from Sawyer-Tower's. Dielectric, pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties of the ceramics in the system PMT-PT were investigated. The resulted densities of the PMT-PT ceramics system were greater than 97 % of the theoretical value. As observed SEM micrograph of the fracture surfaces of the PMT-PT ceramics system, the average grain sizes were increased about 3-5 ${\mu}m$ to 6-8 ${\mu}m$ with increasing sintering temperature. The specimens with PT<0.30 for PMT-PT solid solution system exhibited the dielectric and pyroelectric properties of a typical relaxor ferroelectrics. The composition with the maximum dielectric constant exhibits relatively superior pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties.

The dielectric properties of the uniaxial relaxor ferroelectric $Sr_xBa_{1-x}Nb_2O_6$ with x = 0.75 were investigated along the polar [001] direction as a function of temperature. The capacitance maximum showed the frequency dispersion commonly observed in relaxors. Additional weak dielectric anomalies were observed in the paraelectric phase; they were only seen during the heating process and disappeared upon subsequent cooling. These were attributed to the existence of large polar clusters strongly pinned at defects and/or to random fields and their metastable characters. Aligning the ferroelectric domains along the polar axis at room temperature removed the high-temperature dielectric anomalies. The dependences of the capacitance and the dielectric maximum temperature on the magnitude of the poling field were investigated.

The effect of excess Bi contents on the ferroelectric properties of B $i_{3.25}$ L $a_{0.75}$ $Ti_3$ $O_{12}$ (BLT) thin films has been investigated. Bismuth lanthanum titanate thin films with excess Bi contents were prepared onto Pt/Ti/ $SiO_2$/Si substrate by metalorganic decomposition (MOD) technique. The structure and morphology of the films were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. From the XRD analysis, BLT thin films show polycrystalline structure and the layered-perovskite phase was obtained over 10% excess of Bi contents. As a result of ferroelectric characteristics related to the Bi content of the BLT thin film, the remanent polarization and dielectric constant decreased with increasing over Bi content of 10% excess. The BLT film with Bi content of 10% excess was measured to have a dielectric constant of 326 and dielectric loss of 0.024. The BLT thin films showed little polarization fatigue test up to 3.5$\times$10$^{9}$ bipolar switching cycling.

Metal-ferroelectric-insulator- semiconductor(MFTS) devices by using rapid thermal annealed (RTA) LiNbO$_3$/AIN/Si(100) structures were successfully fabricated and demonstrated nonvolatile memory operations. Metal-insulator-semiconductor(MIS) C-V properties with high dielectric AIN thin films showed no hysteresis and good interface properties. The dielectric constant of the AIN film calculated from the capacitance at the accumulation region in the capacitance-voltage(C-V) characteristics was about 8. The C-V characteristics of MFIS capacitor showed a hysteresis loop due to the ferroelectric nature of the LiNbO$_3$ thin films. Typical dielectric constant value of LiNbO$_3$ film of MFIS device was about 23. The memory window width was about 1.2 V at the gate voltage of $\pm$5 V ranges. Typical gate leakage current density of the MFIS structure was the order of 10$^{-9}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at the range of within $\pm$500 kV/cm. The ferroelectric capacitors showed no polarization degradation up to about 10$^{11}$ switching cycles when subjected to symmetric bipolar voltage pulse(peak-to-peak 8 V, 50 % duty cycle) in the 500 kHz.

In this study, BiFe$O_3$-BaTi$O_3$ ceramics have been fabricated by a solid-state reaction method. The effects of BaTi$O_3$ content in the (1-x)BiFe$O_3$-xBaTi$O_3$ (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) system on crystal structure and magnetic, dielectric, and ferroelectric properties were investigated. Perovskite BiFe$O_3$ was stabilized through the formation of a solid solution with BaTi$O_3$. Rhombohedrally distorted structure (1-x)BiFe$O_3$-xBaTi$O_3$ ceramics showed strong ferromagnetism at x = 0.5. Dielectric and ferroelectric properties of the BiFe$O_3$-BaTi$O_3$ system also changed significantly upon addition of BaTi$O_3$. It was found that the maximum dielectric and ferroelectric properties were exhibited in the (1-x)BiFe$O_3$-xBaTi$O_3$ system at x = 0.25. This suggested the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) with the coexistence of both rhombohedral and cubic phases of the (1-x)BiFe$O_3$-xBaTi$O_3$ system at x = 0.25.
