Abstract

The existence of an intersection point of electric field strength dependencies of permittivity of ferroelectrics at different temperatures is theoretically described by Ginzburg-Devonshire (GD) theory and experimentally confirmed by studying (Ba 0.3Sr 0.7)TiO 3 (BSTO) and SrTiO 3 (STO) thin film varactors. GD analysis enables one to propose a way to improve the thermal stability of ferroelectric microwave devices. In particular, parameters of a L-band digital (0°/180°) phase-shifter fabricated from thick BSTO film varactors were stabilized in the temperature range T = (210-310) K by application of variable to DC control voltages.
