Summary

This chapter fabricated barium titanate (BaTiOa: BTO) patterned thin films of < 1 |im in thickness on Pt/Ti/Si substrates by combining an electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method using a suspension of BTO nanoparticles and electron beam lithography, which was used to form resist molds on the substrates. A suspension of BTO nanoparticles for EPD was prepared by dispersing BTO nanocrystals, which were synthesized by a sol-gel process using a high concentration alkoxides solution, in 2-methoxyethanol added with acetylacetone BTO ceramic thin films obtained by firing the EPD green films at various temperatures between 600° and 800°C consisted of particles with diameters within 30 nm, and had a dielectric constant of about 100 and a dielectric loss
