Abstract: A dielectric thin film material and method of preparation in which precursors are provided to form barium strontium titanate with lanthanum (La) added as a dopant. The precursors and La dopant are mixed with a solvent forming a solution which is deposited on a substrate to form a continuous film composition. In various embodiments, the dielectric thin film has a composition of (1-y)Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3−(y)La, where y=0 to 10-mol. The thin film material has dielectric and insulating properties suitable for tunable microwave applications.

Abstract: A method of producing multilayered conformal coatings of tunable, low electronic loss ceramic composites is carried out by mixing two-phase BSTO/MgO into a base solution of typical lab grade acetone to form a mixed solution, inserting two platinum sheets separated into the mixed solution, applying a constant direct current (DC) bias across the two platinum sheets acting as electrodes, and stirring to reduce sedimentation of particles using a magnetic stirrer. Deposition is also performed on insulating substrates by initially coating them with conducting films of Au, performing BSTO deposition, and subsequently sintering the dielectric film so that the underlying metal film evaporates.

Abstract: This invention is directed to pure and modified Ta2O5 thin films deposited on suitable substrates and methods for making these Ta2O5 thin films. These Ta2O5 thin films exhibit superior properties for microwave communication, dynamic random access memory and integrated electronic applications. The Ta2O5 thin films perform well in these types of technologies due to the Ta2O5 thin film component which allows for high dielectric constants, low dielectric loss, and good temperature and frequency stability, thus making them particularly useful in high frequency microwave applications.

Abstract: A laminated ceramic ferroelectric material has adjacent layers of Barium ontium Titanate (BSTO)--oxide composite stacked in order of descending oxide content and sized in thickness to produce a generally equal capacitance across each layer, resulting in a material having a graded dielectric constant for use in phased array antenna, for example. The oxides are from the metallic oxide group consisting of alumina, zirconia and magnesia and the layers are produced by tape casting.
