Abstract: A method of manufacturing monolayer capacitors having a ferroelectric layer on the basis of titanium as a dielectric on a substrate, the ferroelectric layer being located between a first and a second noble metal electrode, in which the ferroelectric layer is formed as a barium titanate layer having a layer thickness in the range of from 0.2 to 0.6 .mu.m in that a stable solution of salts of carbonic acids, alkoxides and/or acetyl acetonates is applied and is thermally decomposed at temperatures in the range of from 500.degree. to 700.degree. C., the solution constituting the ferroelectric layer being adjusted so that after the thermal decomposition process an excess quantity of titanium oxide of about 1 mol. % is obtained, and this coating process being repeated until the desired layer thickness is attained, after which the second noble metal electrode is provided on the ferroelectric layer.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing titanium dioxide powder by hydrolysis of a titanium alcoholate, in which the titanium alcoholate is made to react with a 10M acetic acid aqueous solution and an aqueous ethanol solution under an N.sub.2 atmosphere, the precipitate consisting of titanium dioxide is separated from the liquid phase after a reaction time of 24 hours, the precipitate is rinsed with deionized water and subsequently with an aqueous ammoniacal solution having a pH value of 9, and the phases are separated.
