  • Publication number: 20260109649
    Abstract: A piezoelectric material composition includes a first material doped with 2 mol % to 3 mol % of Mn based on 100 mol % of the total composition, and represented by [Formula 1] as (1?x)Pb(Mg2/3Nb1/3)O3-xPbTiO3 wherein the x is 0.21 to 0.25. A method for preparing a piezoelectric material composition includes: mixing MgNb2O6 and PbO, TiO2, and MnO2 to form a first material doped with Mn and represented by Formula 1 above; mixing the first material and a second material in a solvent to prepare a slurry; tape-casting the slurry to form a piezoelectric sheet; laminating the piezoelectric sheet; and sintering the piezoelectric sheet in an oxygen atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 12595554
    Abstract: The method for area-selective growth of a noble metal thin film using atomic layer deposition comprises: a first step of preparing a substrate having a growth area and non-growth area showing a difference in nucleation delay, where the non-growth area generates a noble metal nucleus relatively late compared to the growth area during cycles of repeated atomic layer deposition; a second step of supplying a noble metal precursor and adsorbing the noble metal precursor to the growth area and the non-growth area of the substrate; a third step of converting the noble metal precursor into a noble metal atomic layer by supplying an oxidizing agent; and a step of growing a noble metal thin film in the growth area by repeating a combination of the second and third steps.
