A numerical method for scattering of electromagnetic waves from a periodic strip grating over a grounded dielectric slab is considered for TE and TM polarization cases from the viewpoints of both reflection grating problem and leaky wave antenna problem. The analysis is based on a mode expansion method, floquet's theorem, and the method of moments. Numerical results involving some combinations of geometric parameters are presented in terms of complex propagation constant (kd-$\beta$d diagram), radiation pattern, and relative scattered powers of spectral modes. In particular, the relationship between complex propagatio constnat form the viewpoint of leaky wqve antenna problem and Off-bragg and bragg blazing phenomena from the viewpoint of reflecton graing problem is investigated.

YMnO3 thin films were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate by chemical solution deposition method. The films were crystallized by heat-treatment at 85$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. Effects of an annealing atmosphere(O2, Ar, vacuum) on the crystallization behavior and electridcal properties were investigated. YMnO3 thin films annealed under Ar atmosphere showed a superior crystallinity and a very strong c-aix preferred-orientation which was a polar axis. Leakage current density of the films decreased with lowering oxygen partial pressure of the annealing atmosphere. C-V and P-E ferroelectric hysteresis were observed only in the thin film heat-treated under Ar atmosphere.In order to prepare YMnO3 thin films having both low leakage current and ferroelectricity, the annealing atmsphere should be kept under a proper oxygen partial pressure which was about 1 Pa in this work. Leakage current density at 1 volt, dielectric constant($\varepsilon$r), remanent polarization(Pr), and coercive field(Ec) were 1.7$\times$10-8 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 25, 1.08$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and 100 kV/cm, respectively.

$Sr_{0.6}Ba_{0.4}Nb_{2}O_{6}$, hereafter SBN60, thin films of 300 nm thickness were deposited using ion beam sputtering technique, in which sintered ceramic target of the same composition was utilized and the $Ar:O_{2}$ gas ratio was controlled during deposition onto $Pt(100)/TiO_{2}/SiO_{2}/Si$ substrate. Crystallization and orientation behavior as well as electrical properties of the films were examined after annealing treatment at $650{\sim}800{\cric}C$. It was found that the film orientation was dependent upon $Ar:O_{2}$ratio, in which strong (00l) orientation was developed when the gas ratio was about 1:4 at $4.3{\times}10^{-4}$ torr. Typical remanent polarization (2Pr), the coercive field (Ec) and the dielectric constant of Pt/SBN60/Pt thin film capacitor were approximately $10{\mu}C/cm^{2}$, 60 kV/cm, and 615, respectively.

The ferroelectric $Pb(Zr_xTi_{1-x})O_3$ (20/80, 80/20) heterolayered thin films were fabricated from an alkoxide-based by Sol-Gel method. The PZT(20/80) and PZT(80/20) stock solution were made and spin-coated on the Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by turns. Each layers were baked to remove the organic materials at 300[$^{\circ}C$] for 30[min]. and sintered at 650[$^{\circ}C$] for 1[hr]. This procedure was repeated 5 times. At this time the thickness of thin films were about 4000[$\AA$]. Relative dielectric constant and remanent polarization of the PZT heterolayered thin films were 1200, 27.10 [${\mu}C/cm^2$], respectively.

This study examined the dependency of crystalline orientation and electric properties of sol-gel PZT film on hydrolysis, a $PbTiO_3$ seed layer and a concentration of sol-gel solution. The PZT thin films were prepared by using 2-Methoxyethanol-based sol-gel method and spin-coating on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates. The 1-${\mu}m$-thick PZT films were coated and then fired in a furnace by direct insert method. The highly (111) oriented PZT film of pure perovskite structure could be obtained. We could control the degree of orientation by various parameters such as hydrolysis, a $PbTiO_3$ seed layer and a concentration of sol-gel solution. The highest measured remanent polarization, dielectric constant and piezoelectric coefficient are $24.16\;{\mu}C/cm^2$, 2808, and 159 pC/N, respectively.

In this study, we have analyzed structural analysis and measured ferroelectric characteristics of PZT thin films prepared by sol gel process with different sintering conditions and different Zr/Ti mot%. When the Zr mot% of PZT thin film was increased, it was found that the remanent. polarization and coercive field were decreased and increased, respectively. Also, the maxium dielectric constant of PZT(50/50) thin film was 786.8. We got double hysteresis(anti-fcrroelectric) curve from PbZrO$_{3}$ thin film. As heating rate goes up, pyrochlore phase of PZT thin film was decreased and dielectric and ferroelectric characteristics were improved. As a result of variation of sintering temperature and time 500.deg. C-800.deg. C and 5 sec.-8 hours, respectively, we got optimal sintering temperature and time. The optimium sintering temperature and time of conventional furnace method and rapid thermal processing method were 650.deg. C-700.deg. C for 30-60 minutes and 700.deg. C/20 seconds-2 minutes, respectively.

Sol-Gel derived ferroelectric PZT thin films were fabricated on ITO/Glass substrate. Two kinds of rapid thermal annealing methods, R-I (six times of intermediate and final annealing) and R-II (one final annealing after six times of intermediate annealing) were used for preparation of multi-coated PZT thin films. 2500$\AA$-thick PZT thin films were obtained by the R-I and R-II methods and characterized by microstructure and dielectric properties. In case of using R-II, the microstructure was finer than that of R-I and there was no distinguishable difference in dielectric properties of PZT thin films between the R-I and R-II methods. But dielectric properties were enhanced by increasing perovskite phase fraction with increasing annealing temperature. Measured dielectric constant of PZT thin film annealed at 62$0^{\circ}C$ using the R-I method was 256 at 1kHz. Its remanant polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec) were 14.4$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 64kV/cm, respectively.
