Abstract

(h00)-textured BaTiO3 thick film was fabricated on Pt substrate by screen printing method. Effects of template content on grain orientation and electric properties of the thick film were investigated. Grain orientation degree of thick film was optimized to 81 % with 20 % template content. Saturate polarization and coercive field of the textured thick film were 7.5μC/cm2 and 2.9 kV/cm, respectively. A diffusion behavior was observed by the temperature dependence of dielectric constant of BaTiO3 thick films. Piezoelectric properties of the thick film were characterized by relationship of unipolar strain and applied electric field. Piezoelectric constant d 33 * of grain orientation thick film was 136 pm/V, which was higher than that of non-textured film (d 33 * = 92 pm/V).
