In this study, the microwave dielectric properties of $0-6TiTe_3O_8-0.4MgTiO_3$ ceramic with $H_3BO_3$ and SnO were investigated to reduce the sintering time for the LTCC application. According to the X-ray diffraction patterns, both of $0-6TiTe_3O_8-0.4MgTiO_3$ ceramic with $H_3BO_3$ and SnO had the columbite structure of $TiTe_3O_8$ Phase, the ilmenite structure of $MgTiO_3$ phase. The density and dielectric constant of the $0-6TiTe_3O_8-0.4MgTiO_3$ ceramics with $H_3BO_3$ sintered at $830^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour were decreased but the quality factor was not changed with addition of $H_3BO_3$. Also the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency was not changed hardly. In the case of addition of SnO, the density and dielectric constant were increased but the quality factor was decreased and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency was shifted to the negative(-) direction.

A study on the deposition and characterization of BaTiO3 thin films on MgO-buffered Si(100) substrates by sputtering was conducted. The MgO buffer layers were investigated as a function of deposition temperature. At lower substrate temperature, the MgO layers were not fully crystalline, but a crystallized MgO layer with (001) preferred orientation was obtained at the substrate temperature of $700^{\circ}C$. Partially (00ι) or (h00) textured BaTiO3 films were obtained on Si(100) with the MgO buffer layer grown at 700ι. While, randomly oriented BaTiO3 films with large-scale cracks on the surface were made without the MgO layer. The crystallographic orientation, morphology and electrical properties between the BaTiO3 films on Si with and without the MgO layer were compared using the BaTiO3 film on MgO(100) single crystal substrate as a reference system. Also the favorable role of the MgO layer as a buffer for growing of oriented BaTiO3 films on Si substrates was confirmed.

In this study, the sputtered BTO film was polished by CMP process with the self-developed $BaTiO_3$- and $TiO_2$-mixed abrasives slurries (MAS), respectively. The removal rate of BTO ($BaTiO_3$) thin film using the $BaTiO_3$-mixed abrasive slurry (BTO-MAS) was higher than that using the $TiO_2$-mixed abrasives slurry ($TiO_2$-MAS) in the same concentrations. The maximum removal rate of BTO thin film was 848 nm/min with an addition of $BaTiO_3$ abrasive at the concentration of 3 wt%. The sufficient within-wafer non-uniformity (WIWNU%) below 5% was obtained in each abrsive at all concentrations. The surface morphology of polished BTO thin film was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Perovskite structured barium titanate particles ($BaTiO_3$) platelets were synthesized by molten salt synthesis and topochemical microcrystal conversion. As the precursors of $BaTiO_3$, plate-like $BaBi_4Ti_4O_{15}$ particles were first synthesized by the reaction of $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$, $BaCO_3$, and $TiO_2$ at $1080^{\circ}C$ for 3 h in $BaCl_2$-KCl molten salt. After the topochemical reactions, layer-structured $BaBi_4Ti_4O_{15}$ particles transformed to the perovskite $BaTiO_3$ platelets. $BaTiO_3$ particles with thickness of approximately $0.5{\mu}m$ and a length of $10-15{\mu}m$ retained the morphology feature of the $BaBi_4Ti_4O_{15}$ precursor. For <001> $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-32.5PbTiO_3$ (PMNT)-5 wt % PbO piezoelectric ceramics textured with 5 vol % of $BaTiO_3$ templates, the Lotgering factor reached 0.82, and $d_{33}$ was 870 pC/N.

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.

In this study, optical emission spectroscopy was used to monitor the plasma produced during the RF magnetron sputtering of a $BaTiO_3$ target. The intensities of chemical species were measured by real time monitoring with various discharge parameters such as RF power, pressure, and discharge gas. The emission lines of elemental and ionized species from $BaTiO_3$ and Ti targets were analyzed to evaluate the film composition and the optimized growth conditions for $BaTiO_3$ films. The emissions from Ar(I, II), Ba(I, II) and Ti(I) were found during sputtering of the $BaTiO_3$ target in Ar atmosphere. With increasing RF power, all the line intensities increased because the electron density increased with increasing RF power. When the Ar pressure increased, the Ba(II) and Ti(I) line intensity increased, but the $Ar^+$ line intensity decreased with increasing pressure. This result shows that high pressure is of greater benefit for the ionization of Ba than for that of Ar. Oxygen depressed the intensity of the plasma more than Ar did. When the Ar/$O_2$ ratio decreased, the intensity of Ba decreased more sharply than that of Ti. This result indicates that the plasma composition strongly depends on the discharge gas atmosphere. When the oxygen increased, the Ba/Ti ratio and the thickness of the films decreased. The emission spectra showed consistent variation with applied power to the Ti target during co-sputtering of the $BaTiO_3$ and Ti targets. The co-sputtered films showed a Ba/Ti ratio of 1.05 to 0.73 with applied power to the Ti target. The films with different Ba/Ti ratios showed changes in grain size. Ti excess films annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ did not show the second phase such as $BaTi_2O_5$ and $TiO_2$.

$BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3$ and $PbTiO_3/PbZrO_3$ superlattice thin films were fabricated on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate by the pulsed laser deposition process. The morphologies and physical properties of deposited films were characterized by using X-ray diffractometer, HR-SEM, and Impedance Analyzer. XRD data and SEM images of the films indicate that each layer was well deposited alternatively in the superlattice structure. The dielectric constant of $BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3$ superlattice thin film was higher than that of individual $BaTiO_3$ or $SrTiO_3$ film. Same result was obtained in the $PbTiO_3/PbZrO_3$system. The dielectric constant of a superlattice film was getting higher as the number of layer is increased.

The 0.96Mg$TiO_3$-0.04Sr$TiO_3$ ceramics with $V_2O_5$(5wt%) were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method. The structural properties were investigated with sintering temperature by XRD and SEM. According to the X-ray diffraction patterns of the 0.96Mg$TiO_3$-0.04Sr$TiO_3$ceramics with $V_2O_5$(5wt%), the ilmenite $MgTiO_3$ and perovskite $SrTiO_3$ structures were coexisted and secondary phase $MgTi_2O_5$ were appeared. Increasing the sintering temperature, the grain size was increased and three types of grains were exhibited: larger circular grain, small square grain and lapth-shaped grain. In the case of 0.96Mg$TiO_3$-0.04Sr$TiO_3$ ceramics with $V_2O_5$(10wt%), dielectric constant, quality factor and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency were $15.24{\sim}18.55$, $22,890{\sim}42,100$GHz, -24.5${\sim}$+2.414ppm/$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

($Na_{1/2}Ln_{1/2}$)$TiO_3$ceramics have a high relative dielectric constant and a positive temperature coefficient of resonant frequency ($\tau_f$)(where Ln represents a lanthanide: $La^{+3}$, $Pr^{+3}$, $Nd^{+3}$ and $Sm^{+3}$). On the other hand, $MgTiO_3$ ceramic has a high Qf value and a negative temperature coefficient. So We have investigated the microwave dielectric properties of $xMgTiO_3$-(1-x) ($Na_{1/2}Ln_{1/2}$)$TiO_3$. In these systems, there are no clues on solid-solution and secondary phase. There are mixed phases with $MgTiO_3$and ($Na_{1/2}Ln_{1/2}$)$TiO_3$ phases. Its dielectric characteristics (Qf, temperature coefficient and dielectric constant) are intermediate between ($Na_{1/2}Ln_{1/2}$)$TiO_3$ and $MgTiO_3$ and are predictable by the logarithmic mixing rule. The dielectric ceramic compositions temperature coefficient each approximates to zero at Ln=La, x=0.9, Ln=Pr, x=0.87, and Ln=Nd, x=0.84. At this time, there are Qf values in the range of 55,000 to 28,00GHz and relative dielectric constants in the range of 22 to 25.
