Table 8

Overview of doping dependence of dielectric properties of planar BaxSr1−x TiO3:M (M = Fe, Mg, Y, Ti, Zr) thin film capacitors on microwave ceramic substrates. Maximum values of capacity at zero DC bias, 𝑄 value, and tunability are highlighted by bold type. See Figures 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23 for the sample design and selected, more detailed graphs of C and 𝑄 as functions of T for DC bias from 0 to 10 V.
