This thesis deals with the investigations on the atomic composition, chemical surface states and microstructural features of barium titanate and other electronic ceramics namely barium polytitantes, calcium manganites and magnesium calcium titanate by surface analytical techniques. After presenting a brief introduction on the ceramic materials studied in terms of their crystal structures, electrical properties, nonstoichiometry and interfacial characteristics, the thesis describes the synthesis of the ceramics and the methodology of the different surface analytical techniques utilized such as backscattering spectrometry (BS), an ion beam analysis (IBA) technique, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The XPS investigations on the chemical surface states of polycrystalline barium titanate having well-defined electrical characteristics reveal the prevalence of Ba in two distinct chemical environments : the one corresponding to the lower binding energy is related to the dielectric while the other having higher binding energy is correlated to semiconducting properties of the ceramics. Processes such as abrasion or polishing make the surfaces more reactive and susceptible to atmospheric contamination. Sputter cleaning causes surface modification leading to changes in the Ba (3d) and Ti (2p) spectra. Studies on the surface atomic composition by BS and microstructural features of doped barium titanate ceramics reveal their interfacial characteristics in terms segregation of dopants or metal ion constituents. Surfaces of these ceramics exhibit cationic as well as anionic nonstoichiometry depending on the processing steps involved. Ceramics synthesized by oxalate precursor route are Ti-rich while those prepared by gel-to-crystallite method are Ba-rich. These are correlated to the chemical processes and background impurities which in turn control the microstructures. Barium titanate substitued with > 1 at. % Mn are deficient in oxygen and exist as the hexagonal polymorph. Acceptors segregate at the grain boundaries accompanied by the enrichment of Ti leading to PTCR or GBLC characteristics. The oxygen nonstoichiometry prevailing in the surface regions of differently processed calcium manganites is investigated by way of depth profile measurements involving 16O(a,a) 16O resonant scattering. These studies reveal extensive compositional heterogeneity across the surface layers particularly in the manganite specimens annealed in lower po2 leading to the stabilization of brownmillerite phase. Two of the microwave dielectric ceramics namely dibarium nona-titanate and barium tetra-titanate with suitable variations in Ba:Ti ratios have been synthesized by the carbonate-gel precipitation. The corresponding dense ceramics have high permittivity (~ 52) and low temperature coefficient of permittivity (TCK ~ 5 ppm /0C). Extensive miscibility between the ilmenite-type MgTiO3 and perovskite-type CaTiO3 over a wide compositional range is brought about by the simultaneous equivalent substitution of Al3+ + La3+. The resulting (Mg1-(x+y)CaxLay)(Ti1-yAly)O3 ceramics exhibit improved microwave dielectric properties by way of high permittivity, low TCK and high quality factor. The microarea elemental distribution and chemical surface state studies reveal the complexity in the Mg/Ca distribution and its correlation with the solid state miscibility as well as dielectric properties. The discontinuous changes in the local site symmetry of the cationic substituents in these ceramics have been investigated by the photoluminescence spectra using Pr3+ as the emission probe.

In this dissertation, BaTiO3 nanocrystals, Bi4Ti3O12 nanostructured microspheres, and cosubstituted Bi4Ti3O12 nanoparticles and ceramics were prepared using solvothermal, hydrothermal and citrate-gel methods. The ferroelectric properties of the prepared cosubstituted Bi4Ti3O12 ceramics were studied using P–E hysteresis loop, leakage, and polarization fatigue measurements. A two-phase solvothermal synthesis approach for the preparation of hydrophobic BaTiO3 nanocrystals was developed. The two-phase method is based on the growth of nanocrystals at the oil/water interface by the reaction between metal surfactant complexes in the oil phase and a mineralizer in the water phase. Three kind of organic solvents, hexadecene, toluene, and heptane were used as the oil phase and compared to each other with respect to the product quality. The BaTiO3 particles are crystalline with a mean size of 3.7 nm and can be dispersed in a variety of organic solvents forming highly transparent dispersions. A hydrothermal method was developed for the synthesis of Bi4Ti3O12 nanostructured microspheres consisting of granular nanoparticles and nano-platelets. The precursor powder was prepared using a diethylene glycol mediated coprecipitation method. Tailoring of the morphology was achieved by changing the precursor quantity, sodium hydroxide concentration, and reaction time. The formation mechanism of the nanostructured microspheres probably involves aggregation, followed by dissolution and recrystallization. Bi3.25Pr0.75Ti2.97V0.03O12 (BPTV) and Bi3.25La0.75Ti3-xMxO12, (BLTMx, M = Mo, W, Nb, V, x = 0.0–0.12) ferroelectric nanoparticles and ceramics were synthesized using a modified citrate-gel method that has a crystallization temperature as low as 450 °C. The synthesized nanoparticles were spherical ranging from 30 to 100 nm. Except Nb5+, other donor cations were introduced using the corresponding oxides that have advantages in terms of high purity, low cost, and availability. The Bi3.25Pr0.75Ti2.97V0.03O12 ceramic is orthorhombic and its 2Pr and 2Ec values measured at 300 kV/cm were 35 μC/cm2 and 148 kV/cm respectively. The texture, microstructure, and ferroelectric properties of the prepared Bi3.25La0.75Ti3-xMxO12, (BLTMx, M = Mo, W, Nb, V, x = 0.0–0.12) ceramics depend on x. The maximum 2Pr (30–32 μC cm−2) was achieved at an optimum cosubstitution level (x = 0.025 for M6+, x = 0.03 for M5+). The high remanent polarization, low leakage current, and low polarization fatigue render the prepared ceramics promising for practical applications.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi de pesquisar e propor uma integração de sistema do tipo Sistema no Empacotamento (SiP ou System in Package) a nível industrial, com o desenvolvimento de um Módulo de Múltiplos Chips (MCM ou Multi-Chip Module) de camadas cerâmicas com tecnologia Cerâmica Cossinterizada sob Alta Temperatura (HTCC), integrando componentes de diferentes tecnologias - um circuito integrado CMOS 65 nm, um circuito integrado monolítico de micro-ondas (MMIC) de Arseneto de Gálio (GaAs) comercial e antenas IPD (Dispositivo de Integração Passiva) de vidro. Além disso foram desenvolvidas técnicas de projeto de integração na tecnologia HTCC, atendendo-se às regras para fabricação e montagem industrial. Utilizaram-se no projeto ferramentas software de projeto de simulação elétrica e eletromagnética, resultando no módulo com área de 13 x 8 mm2 e 1,12 mm de espessura incluindo os componentes. Nas linhas de transmissão do sinal a 60 GHz e de banda base foram medidas perdas de inserção de 1,0 dB/mm e 0,6 dB respectivamente. A antena integrada no módulo apresentou um ganho mínimo de 6 dBi (de 53,5 a 59,5 GHz), com perda de retorno maior que 10 dB (de 51 a 63 GHz) e um pequeno deslocamento em relação à banda especificada. Os resultados de medição de algumas amostras demonstraram que a tecnologia HTCC, para integração do sistema, é viável tanto em termos de desempenho, quanto nos aspectos industrial e comercial, mesmo antes da análise da montagem e desempenho do MMIC HPA e do sistema / Abstract: This Master's degree work, entitled System-in-Package (SiP) Integration of 60 GHz Transceiver for Wireless High Definition Multimedia Interface Application, was executed at STMicroelectronics Company (France), Minatec site in the department of Research and Technological Development/Central CAD and Solutions Department, under the guidance of PhD.

Further design techniques were developed complying with techniques for industrial assembly and the design rules of Kyocera, the company which provides HTCC technology and module manufacturing. The complete system integration was designed with electronic design automation (EDA) software tools with electrical and electromagnetic simulation resulting in a 13 x 8 mm2 area and 1.12 mm thickness module including its components. The 60 GHz and the base band transmission lines presented an insertion loss of 1.0 dB/mm and 0.6 dB respectively. The IPD antenna integrated in the module presented a 6 dBi minimum gain (53.5 to 59.5 GHz band) with return loss above 10 dB (51 to 63 GHz band) and a small shift of the frequency band. The measurement results of some assembled samples showed that HTCC technology is viable in terms of performance and industrial production for the 60 GHz application, even before the analysis of MMIC HPA and the system evaluation / Mestrado / Eletrônica, Microeletrônica e Optoeletrônica / Mestre em Engenharia Elétrica
