  • Patent number: 11812665
    Abstract: A composition includes at least one Pb/Ni/Nb - Pb/Mg/W - Pb/Zr/Ti mixed oxide. A piezoelectric device may be made by providing at least two layers comprising the composition and coated with an outer electrode material; providing a plurality of layers comprising the composition and coated with an inner electrode material; combining or stacking a plurality of layers coated with inner electrode materials between two outer electrodes; and sintering or co-firing the inner electrode materials and outer electrode materials at a temperature at or below about 1000° C.

  • Publication number: 20070172592
    Abstract: The invention relates to thin film single layers, electronic components such as multilayer capacitors which utilize thin film layers, and to their methods of manufacture. Chemical solution deposition and microcontact printing of dielectric and electrode layers are disclosed. High permittivity BaTiO3 multilayer thin film capacitors are prepared on Ni foil substrates by microcontact printing and by chemical solution deposition. Multilayer capacitors with BaTiO3 dielectric layers and LaNiO3 internal electrodes are prepared, enabling dielectric layer thicknesses of 1 ?m or less. Microcontact printing of precursor solutions of the dielectric and electrode layers is used.
