摘要
The influence of the microstructure of Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) bulk ceramics and thick films on the dielectric properties have been studied. Thick films have been prepared by screen printing technique on Al2O3 substrates. The powder has been prepared by using the common mixed oxide technique. In comparison to dense bulk ceramics, the permittivity of thick films is approximately 10 times less. The effect of temperature on the permittivity and the tunability (change of the dielectric constant with applied voltage) has also been investigated at low frequency (1 kHz). At microwave frequencies, BST thick films have been characterized by measuring coplanar waveguides (CPW) at room temperature and utilizing an enhanced quasi-static CPW model for multilayer dielectric substrates.
