title: KTa0.6Nb0.4O3 ferroelectric thin film behavior at microwave frequencies for tunable applications.
abstract: In this study about the relationships between structural and microwave electrical properties of KTa(1-x)NbxO3 (KTN) ferroelectric materials, a KTN thin film was deposited on different substrates to investigate how KTN growth affects the microwave behavior. Interdigital capacitors and stubs were made on these films through a simple engraving process. Microwave measurements under a static electric field showed the importance of the substrate on the circuit behavior and, notably, on the tuning factor.
