In this study, to prepare the dielectric (Ba, Sr)TiO3 thin films by the sol-gel process, Titaminum (IV) sio-propoxide (Ti[OCH(CH3)2]4), Ba and Sr acetate were used for sol and thin films were prepared by dip-coating process. Stability of sol decreased with the increase of Sr, and thickness of thin films were obtained 0.13~0.17${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ by 1 coating cycle. Transmittance of amorphous thin films heated at 500 and 55$0^{\circ}C$ was very good, and crystallization tendency of thin films according to heat-treatment temperature and crystallization characteristics of thin films heated at 11$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hrs were analysed. As a result, good perovskite structure was obtained higher than 100$0^{\circ}C$, and tetragonality of thin film was decreased but pyrochlore was formed with increasing Sr. In case of addition to substitute 0.4mol% Sr for Ba, dielectric constant was 288 and loss factor (tan $\delta$) was 0.04.

In general, Pb-based complex perovskite powders have not been directly prepared because pyrochlore that is secondary phase appears. In this study, we tried to prepare Pb(Fe$_{1}$2/Nb$_{1}$2/)O$_3$ which was used to the electronic multicomponent by supercitical fluid method in order to fabricate very active powder not through pyrochlore.

The quarternary system ceramics 0.5[yPb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-(1-y)Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3]-0.5[xPbTiO3-(1-x)PbZrO3](PZN-PNN-PT-PZ) was fabricated by the columbite precursor method to obtain a stabilized perovskite structure and by conventional method to evaluate the efficiency of the former methd. Dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated and the stability of the perovskite phase was studied as a function of PZN and PT contents and firing temperature. In the samples prepared by the columbite precursor method, the pyrochlore phase, which is detrimental to both the dielectric and piezoelectric properties, was not observed in the absence of PZN, and electric properties were improved even when fabricated at low temperature. By adding PZN, some pyrochlore phase appeared and the morphotropic phase boundary of the samples shifted to more Zr-rich composition. The temperature dependence of piezoelectric constant decreased with the addition of PZN, due to the rising of the Curie point.

No-doped PZT thin films have been fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate using Sol-Gel technique. A fast annealing metho (three times of intermediate and final annealing) was used for the preparation of multi-coated 1800$\AA$ thick Nb-doped PZT thin films. As Nb doping percent was increased leakage current was lowered approximately 2 order but dielectic properties were degraded due to the appearance of pyrochlore phase and domain pinning. Futhermore the increase of the final annealing temperature up to 74$0^{\circ}C$lowered the pyrochlore phase content resulting in enhancing the dielectric properties of the Nb doped films. The 3%-Nb doped PZT thin films with 5% excess Pb showed a capacitance density of 24.04 fF/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$2 a dielectric loss of 0.13 a switchable polarization of 15.84 $\mu$C/cm2 and a coercive field of 32.7 kV/cm respectively. The leakage current density of the film was as low as 1.47$\times$10-7 A/cm2 at the applied voltage of 1.5 V.

We have grown piezoelectric oxide films by RF magnetron sputtering using miscut substrates. Films were Brown on(001) $SrTiO_3$ substrates with miscut angles from 0 to 8 degrees toward the (100) direction. Films on high miscut substrates (>$4^{\circ}$) showed almost the pure perovskite phase in x-ray diffraction and were nearly stoichiometric. In contrast, films on exact (001) $SrTiO_3$ contained a high volume fraction of pyrochlore phases. A film on an $8^{\circ}$ miscut substrate exhibits a polarization hysteresis loop with a remnent polarization of 20$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at room temperature.

Sol-Gel derived ferroelectric PZT thin films were fabricated on ITO/Glass and Si/SiO2 substrates. In order to investigate the effect of catalysts on the densification and crystallization of PZT thin films, a nitric acid or ammonium hydroxide was added to the PZT stock solution at the state of partial hydrolysis reaction. The measured pH for a stable PZT sol was 5.2~9.3. In case of an acid-catalyzed PZT sol, a highly condensed particulate PZT sol was formed by accelerating the hydrolysis reaction. But weakly branched polymeric PZT sol was formed with a base-catalyzed condition. The difference in densification behavior was not found in the pH range of added catalyst, but the refractive index of PZT thin film was increased rapidly as the annealing temperature increased. The PZT thin film annealed at 54$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 min was fully densified and its refractive index was above 2.4. When the annealing temperature increased, the transition from the pyrochlore phase to perovskite appeared at 54$0^{\circ}C$. The base-catalyzed PZT thin film suppressed to form the pyrochlore phase and proceeded effectively to convert the perovskite phase. This was due to the formation of polymeric molecular structure by controlling the hydrolysis and condensation reaction through the additiion of the ammonium hydroxide.

Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 powder with high purity chemical homogeniety and reactivity was prepared by solvent eva-poration of common solution. The common solution was fabricated using a Pb(NO3)2 Mg(NO)3 and NB solution which was prepared by dissolving NbC in H2O2 acquous solution. In precusor powder prepared by solvent evaporation method the synthetic temperature of Pb(Mg1/3 Nb2/3)O3 phase was lowered. And the formation of homogeneous Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 phase was enhanced but the formation of pyrochlore phase was reduced. The dielectric constant of PMN ceramics from the synthesized powder was found to increase with both sintering temperature and excess MgO and subsequent analysis of the microstructures confirmed that this was due to an increase in grain size. The grain size dependence is explained as a consequence of low-permittivity grain boundaries.

스테인레스 스틸 기판 위에 Pb($Zr_{0.45}$ $Ti_{0.55}$) $O_3$후막을 졸-겔 스핀 코팅법으로 제조하였다. 스테인레스 스틸은 그 자체로 좋은 도체이지만 PZT 후막의 강유전 특성을 개선하고자 Ru $O_2$박막을 중간층 겸 하부전극으로 사용하였다. PZT 전구체 용액을 코팅하고 급속 열처리하였을 때 5$50^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 pyrochlore 상이 먼저 나타났고 이 transient 상은 61$0^{\circ}C$에서 모두 perovskite 상으로 변화하였다. $600^{\circ}C$에서 열처리된 PZT 후막은 잔존하는 pyrochlore로 인해 걸어준 전기장에 무관하게 5-7$\mu$C/$ extrm{cm}^2$의 낮은 $P_{r}$값을 나타내었으나 61$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 열처리된 시편들은 모두 25$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 이상의 잔류분극을 가지고 있었다. 또한 Ru $O_2$중간층이 PZT의 강유전성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였을 때 잔류분극 값은 거의 영향을 받지 않았으나 항전계 값은 상당한 영향을 받았다. 즉 100nm 두께의 Ru $O_2$박막을 중간층으로 사용할 경우 중간층 없이 직접 스테인레스 스틸 위에 코팅할 때에 비해 항전계 값을 45% 가량 줄일 수 있었다.
