  • Although the electrophoretic deposition method has the advantage of simple processing procedure, less fabrication facilities, and easier control for deposition thickness and wire length, providing economical and technical merits, it also has the disadvantages of cracking and porosity phenomena, requiring an improved processing method for higher particle density and constant particle orientation. we have developed an optimization method to increase the particle density and to unify its orientation, and have performed a study to overcome the cracking and porosity problems in the fabricated superconductor. In order to improve the surface uniformity and the conduction properties of the fabricated YBCO thick films, a system that applies alternate voltage vertically has been developed for the first time and applied to the electrophoretic deposition process. The applied alternate electric field caused a force to be exerted on each YBCO particle and resulted in a rotation of the particle in the direction of applied electric field, accomplishing a uniform particle orientation. We name this process as the shaky-aligned electrophoretic deposition method. For commercial utilization and efficiency, in this dissertation, alternating voltage of 60 Hz and 25 ∼ 120 V/cm was proposed to apply it as a subsidiary source for shaky-flow deposition so that the fabricated thin film showed uniform surface morphology with less voids and cracks and Tc,zero of 90 K and the critical current density of 3419 A/$cm^2$.

  • The effects of interlayer formation and thermal treatment on the field-emission properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were investigated. The CNTs were prepared on tungsten (W) micro-tip substrates using the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. The interlayers, such as aluminum (Al) and hafnium (Hf) were coated on the W-tips prior to CNT deposition and after the deposition of CNTs all the species were thermally treated at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The field-emission properties of CNTs were significantly improved by thermal treatment. The threshold electric field for igniting the electron emission was decreased and the emission current was increased. The Raman spectroscopy results indicated that this was attributed mainly to the enhancement of CNTs by thermal treatment. Also, the CNTs deposited on the interlayers showed the remarkably improved results in the long-term emission stability, especially when they were thermally treated. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurement confirmed that this was resulted from the formation of the additional cohesive forces between the CNTs and the underlying interlayers.

  • Effect of solution property on the weight varation and microstructural change of film was studied by electrophoretic deposition in order to obtain a homogeneous and dense zirconia film. As a result of weight kinetics of film which obtained in alcohol or aqueous solution having different polarity experimental data showed large deviation from theoretical ones calculated by Zhang's kinetic model. It had been shown that the weight affecting factors was largely dependent on properties other than dielectric constant and viscosity of solvent zeta potential appiled field and time. In initial stage a main factor of the drastic weight increase was the capillary drag of porous substrate. The cause of weight decrease with time in aqueous solution after 300 s was attributed to the defect of film by sagging and electrolytic reaction. The electrolyte film which prepared in alcohol solution with good wetting for substrate had better homogeneous and dense microstructure than one in aqueous solution with high surface tension.

  • Usually for the commercial preparation of barium titanate films or ceramics the reaction atmosphere must be preferably in air. However, normally air is not used because it contains carbon dioxide, which can easily react with barium to form the undesired product barium carbonate, leading to unwanted second-phase formation in the (mal stages of the process. In the present work a series of perovskite barium titanate films was prepared by the sol-gel method, using a metal alkoxide solutions in the electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The influence of several process parameters, like sintering temperature of sol preparation before EPD and heat-treatment temperature and non-oxidized atmosphere, on the film properties is described.

  • The development of new improved type of dielectric materials on the conception of multiphase structure has been carried out in this paper. Metal alkoxides solutions were used for application of thin film by electrophoretic deposition technique. We succeeded in preparation of amorphous and composite dielectric films from Al alkoxides. Specific features of the preparation technique were considered. Microstructure of the films was examined as well as their dielectric properties. TEM analyses reveals that films deposited from aging sols and heat-treated at temperatures as low as $400^{\circ}C$ contain small whiskers of ${\delta}-Al_2O_3$.

  • Passivation must prevent ionic charge movement on the surface of the junction, thereby minimizing the junction leakage and maximizing the breakdown voltage of the devices. Borosilicate glasses are widely used as surface passivants for such silicon power devices as thyristors, transistor, and diodes. Since these 91asses are electrically stable at high temperatures and in high electric fields, they can readily be applied as a thick film, and they are resistant to humidity and have low ionic mobility. A deposition technique of glass film on the silicon surface by electrophoresis in which acetone is used as a suspension medium has been investigated. The purpose of this paper is to describe electrophoretic deposition method for glass passivation and characteristics of glass films which were compared using DTA, SEM, XRD, as a function of firing temperature.

  • This study demonstrates the coating effect of carbon nanotubes on metal meshes, which have been made with various line-spaces and line-width, for touch screen panels. The CNTs have been deposited on metal meshes via electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The sheet resistances, visible transmittances, visible reflectances have been measured before and after electrophoretic deposition. The experimental results confirm that CNT coating metal meshes with various line-spaces and line width can satisfy the requirements that are required for transparent electrodes of touch screen panels.

  • High temperature superconducting films deposited on metal Ag wire were prepared with YBCO powders by electrophoretic deposition method. $I_2$was used as additives for surface charge of YBCO particles. When 2~3 wt.% $BaF_2$ was added in the YBCO suspension, the pores and cracks of film surface were decreased and film density could be increased. In case of YBCO films, the critical current density ($J_{c}$) was calculated at the value of $1458{\;}A/\textrm{cm}^2$ (77K, 0K) by 4 point prove method.

  • Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of alcohol YBCO suspensions on the Ag wire electrode is studied. Poly(ethylene glycol) was coordinated to a structure formed by the EPD process with YBCO particles. The suspension is characterized in terms of zeta potential and conductivity. The d.c electric fields of 200-300 V/cm are applied for 1-10 min. The optimal condition for the EPD allows modifying the properties and microstructure of the deposited films. Superconducting coatings with nanometer-sized pores and a preferred orientation along the c-axis were prepared from the result with chemically modified precursor solution. In contrast, YBCO coatings of submicrometer-sized pores and randomly orientated grains were prepared from the solution without PEG.
