MBi4Ti4O15 (M=Ba,Ca) thick films were prepared by screen printing and firing using Pt bottom electrodes and ZrO2 substrates. Screen-printable pastes were prepared by kneading the MBi4Ti4O15 powder in a three-roll mill with an organic vehicle. The microstructures and electric properties of the thick films were examined in comparison with bulk ceramics. The remanent polarization of 6.2 9C/cm2 and coercive field of 130kV/cm were obtained for the CaBi4Ti4O15 thick film fired at 1130OC. The Curie points of MBi4Ti4O15 (M=Ba,Ca) thick films from dielectric peaks were 450OC and 790 OC for M=Ba and M= Ca.

0.67BiFeO3-0.33BaTiO3thick films were prepared by screen printing pastes prepared by kneading the 0.67BiFeO3-0.33BaTiO3powder in a three-roll mill with an organic vehicle. The thick films were fired with Pt bottom electrodes and ZrO2substrates to investigate the influence of firing temperature. The microstructures and ferroelectric properties of the thick films were examined and compared with the bulk ceramics. A remanent polarization of 32.0 μC/cm2and coercive field of 28 kV/cm were obtained for a thick film with the addition of 0.5 wt% MnO that was fired at 1050 °C.

Bi4Ti3O12 based thick films were prepared by screen printing and firing using Pt bottom electrodes and ZrO2 substrates. The influence of excess Bi2O3 as sintering aid was investigated. Furthermore, substitution of Ti-site and Bi-site for V5+ and Nd3+ was performed. Screen-printable pastes were prepared by kneading the Bi4Ti3O12 based powder and Bi2O3 powder in a three-roll mill with an organic vehicle. The microstructures and ferroelectric properties of the thick films were examined in comparison with bulk ceramics. The remanent polarization of 9.6 μC/cm2 and coercive field of 64 kV/cm were obtained for the Bi3.0Nd1.0Ti2.99V0.01O12 thick film with 10 wt% of excess Bi2O3 fired at 1200OC.

PZT(70/30) powder was prepared by a sol-gel method and PZT thick films were fabricated by the screen-printing method on the alumina substrates. The coating and drying procedure was repeated 4 times. And then the PZT(30/70) precusor solution was spin-coated on the PZT thick films. A concentration of a coating solution was 0.5 mol/L and the number of coating was varied from 0 to 6. The porosity decreased and the grain size increased with increasing the number of coatings. The thickness of the PZT-6(6: number of coatings) films was about 60~65μm. All PZT thick films showed the typical XRD patterns of a typical perovskite polycrystalline structure. The relative dielectric constant of the PZT-6 thick film was 540. The remanent polarization and coercive field of the PZT-6 film were 23.6 μC /cm2, 12.0 kV/cm, respectively.

The heterolayered BT/BNT thick films were fabricated by screen printing techniques on alumina substrates electrodes with Pt . Their structure and ferroelectric properties were investigated with the heterolayered tetragonal/rhombohedral structure composed of the BT and the BNT thick films. The structural and electrical properties of the heterolayered BT/BNT thick films were studied. The dielectric properties such as dielectric constant, loss and remanent polarization of the heterolayered BT/BNT thick films were superior to those of single composition BNT, and those values for the heterolayered BT/BNT thick films were 1455, 0.025 and 12.63 µC/cm2.

The use of thick films becomes more and more important in particular for electronic and microelectronic applications. The term “thick film ” does not relate so much to the thickness of the film but more to the kind of deposition. Thick films are made by low-priced processes such as doctor (dr) blading, screen-printing, or spraying methods, etc. The preparation of thick films of ceramic material by these methods generally implies a processing sequence of the following steps: preparation of the oxide powders; preparation of pastes and slurries; painting/printing, etc.of the pastes onto a suitable substrate; drying at low temperature; and sintering at high temperature to get a consolidated layer. These technologies and the fabricated thick films of thermoresistive and superconducting materials will be discussed.

Ferroelectric Pb(Zr0.6Ti0.4)O3 (PZT(60/40)) powder was prepared by a sol-gel method and PZT thick films were fabricated by the screen-printing method on the alumina substrates. The Pt bottom electrodes were screen-printed on the alumina substrate. The PZT(60/40) thick films were annealed at 1050°C for 10min in PbO atmosphere. Pb(Zr0.4Ti0.6)O3 (PZT(40/60)) precursor solution, which prepared by sol-gel method, was spin-coated on the PZT thick films to obtain a densification. These PZT multilayered thick films were annealed at 650°C for 2 h in PbO atmosphere. The upper electrodes were fabricated by screen printing the Ag paste and then firing at 590°C for 10min.

Ferroelectric PbZr 0.6 Ti 0.4 O 3 (PZT) thick films were fabricated using a combination of screen-printing method and PZT precursor sol coating process (M. Koch, N. Harris, R. Maas, A. G. R. Evans, N. M. White and A. Brunnschweiler, Meas. Sci. Technol.8 (1997) 49; Y. S. Yoon, J. Korean. Phys. Soc.47 (2005) 321). Structural and electrical properties of the PZT thick films with the treatment of sol coating were investigated. The porosity decreased and the densification was enhanced with increasing the number of sol coatings. All PZT thick films showed the typical X-ray diffraction patterns of a perovskite polycrystalline structure. The thickness of all thick films was approximately 60–61 μm. The relative dielectric constant increased and dielectric loss decreased with increasing the number of sol coatings, and the values of the six-layer PZT-6 film were 167.8, 0.78% at 1 kHz, respectively. The remanent polarization and coercive field of the 6-coated PZT-6 thick films were 14.1 μC/cm2 and 20.3 kV/cm, respectively.
