In this work, tunable capacitors using a finger-type electrode are designed and characterized for frequency-agile RF circuit applications. Their top electrodes with different area and line width are designed in types of the finger for a long conducting perimeter which results in enhanced fringing-electric fields in order to improve their tunability. The tunable varactors were fabricated on a quartz substrate employing a multi-layer dielectric of a para/ferro/para-electric thin film. Compared to the conventional capacitor, finger-type capacitors are characterized in terms of effective capacitance and tunablility. Their effective capacitance and tunability with the long perimeter increase 24~40% and 7~12%, respectively, due to enhanced fringing electric fields from 1 to 2.5 GHz, compared to the conventional ones.

In this paper, a tunable capacitor like an interdigital one is presented for low-voltage applications. In order to reduce operation voltage by enhancing fringing electric fields, two finger-patterned electrodes are vertically separated by employing a multi-layer thin film dielectric of a para-/ferro-/para-electrics without spacing between electrodes. The proposed tunable capacitor was fabricated on a quartz wafer and its characteristics are analyzed in terms of effective capacitance and tunability with a function of applied voltages, compared to the conventional interdigital capacitor (IDC). At 8V and 2 GHz, the proposed tunable capacitor shows the tunability of 18 % that is 10.3 % higher than that of the compared one.

$(Ba_{1-x}Sr_{0.4}Ca_x)TiO_{3}$ (x=0.10, 0.15, 0.20) powders were prepared by the sol-gel method and BSCT thick films were fabricated by the screen-printing method. Their structural and dielectric properties were investigated with variation of composition ratio and $Al_{2}O_{3}$ doping contents. As results of the X-ray diffraction and microstructure analysis, the grain size of BSCT thick films was decreased with increasing $Al_{2}O_{3}$ amount. The thickness of BSCT thick films by 4-coating/drying is about $110{\sim}120{\mu}m$. The tunability increased with decreasing Ca content, and the BSCT(50/40/10) specimen doped with 1.0wt% $Al_{2}O_{3}$ showed the highest value of 12.94% at 5kV /cm.

In this paper, we propose a new tinnitus treatment system that removes the frequency band where the ear noises is generated and amplifies the around frequency bands in order to treat a nonstop buzzing in the ears, that is one among the disease commonly generated in modern people. Mostly the tinnitus is generated by the tunability with the neighboring nerves while the part of the cerebral cortex which is unable to react to the stimuli by the sound of the specific frequency band reacts to other frequency band. Therefore, the excitability activity by the tunability of the cerebral cortex is suppressed and the remedial value is gotten by removing the tinnitus frequency band, and the around frequency bands are amplified to strengthen the remedial value. Experimental results show that the tinnitus can be treated conveniently if the patients use the android application which the proposed technique is applied to.

The bismuth zinc niobate(BZN) pyrochlore thin films were fabricated on Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/p-Si(100) substrates using a reactive rf magnetron sputtering method at the conditions of working gas ratio Ar:$O_2$=90:10, substrate temperate $R.T{\sim}600^{\circ}C$, rf power 50 W. The dielectric constant, tunability, leakage current density and crystallinity of thin films changed with a substrate temperate. The BZN pyrochlore thin films sputtered with a substrate temperature of $600^{\circ}C$ and RTA at $800^{\circ}C$ showed a leakage current density lower than $10^{-8}\;A/cm^2$ at the range of ${\pm}300\;kV/cm$.

In this paper, we have investigated the structure and dielectric properties of the $(Ba_{0.6}Sr_{0.4})TiO_3$ (BST) thin films film fabricatedon MgO(100)/Si substrate by an alkoxide-based sol-gel method. Both the structure and morphology of films were analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscope (AFM). For the MgO(100)/Si substrates, the BST thin films exhibited highly (100) orientation. The highly (100)-oriented BST thin films showed high dielectric constant, tunability, and figure of merit (FOM). The dielectric constants, dielectric loss and tunability of the BST thin films annealed at 700 C deposited on the MgO(100)/Si substrates measured at 10 kHz were 515.9, 0.0082, and 54.3 %, respectively.

The optical characteristics of a tunable flattened-pass-band fiber comb filter, based on the polarization-diversified loop configuration, are investigated using the $Poincar{\acute{e}}$-sphere representation. In the design process, the spectral flatness is checked quantitatively, and the tunability of the pass band is demonstrated experimentally. Theoretical calculations show that the filter also exhibits desirable dispersion and polarization properties. The orientation angles of rotatable wave plates for the wavelength tunability of the filter are obtained. Furthermore, we elaborate on the multiple angle loci produced by degeneracies through the combination of optical elements within the loop of the filter.

The dielectric properties of $(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ ferroelectric thin films have been investigated according to the substrates in order to optimize the their properties. MgO, r-plane sapphire, and poly-crystalline sapphire (Alumina) substrates have been used to deposite $(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ ferroelectric thin films by RF magnetron sputtering. The BST thin films deposited on the single crystal (100)MgO substrates have high tunability and low dielectric loss. These results are caused by a low misfit between the lattice parameters of the BST films and the substrate. The BST films deposited on r-plane sapphire have relatively high misfit, and the tunability of 17% and dielectric loss of 0.0007. To improve the dielectric properties of the BST films, the post-annealing methods has been introduced. The BST films deposited on (100)MgO, (1102)r-plane sapphire, and poly-crystalline sapphire substrates have best properties in post-annealing conditions of $1050^{\circ}C$, $1100^{\circ}C$, and $1150^{\circ}C$, respectively. The different optimal post-annealing conditions have been found according to the different misfits between the films and substrates, and thermal expansion coefficients. Moreover, the films deposited on alumina substrate which is relatively cheap have a good tunability properties of 23% by the post-annealing.

본 논문은 핑거 (finger) 형 전극에 의해 증강된 가장자리 전계가 가변 캐패시터의 가변성을 개선시킬 수 있음을 보여주고 있다. 가장자리가 긴 전극을 설계하기 위해 면적과 선폭이 다른 finger 형태의 전극들이 설계되었다. 가변 바렉터들은 quartz 기판위에 para/ferro/para의 가변 다층 유전체 박막을 이용하여 제작되었다. 기존의 일반적인 가변 캐패시터와 비교해서, 핑거형 캐패시터들의 유효 용량와 가변성 특성을 분석하였다. 1~2.5 GHz에서 증강된 가장자리 전계로 인해 긴 가장자리 전극으로 설계된 가변 캐패시터의 유효 용량과 가변성이 각각 24~40 % 그리고 7~12 % 증가하였다.
