Fabrication of BaTiO3 dielectric films by direct ink-jet printing

Direct ink-jet printing can assemble ceramic powders into complex 3-D structures by deposited droplets of ceramic inks through a desktop and industrial printing. In this paper, BaTiO3 films were prepared using 8 vol.% BaTiO3 colloidal inks. The definition and uniformity of the BaTiO3 films were determined and adjusted successfully via the variation of the printer and image file resolutions.
