Popis: The direct-writing technique by MicroPen provides maskless fabrication method for complex and multilayer structures. In this work, low-temperature co-firing ceramic (LTCC) BST paste was fabricated and structures for high frequency evaluation were formed by MicroPen. The results showed uniform microstructures with some porosity after sintering at 900 °C. The dielectric properties were characterized in the frequency range of 0.5 to 13.5 GHz using coplanar waveguides. The ϵ r and tanδ of the LTCC BST thick film were 57.5–41 and 0.013–0.007 with applied electric field of 0-10 V/μm, respectively at 5 GHz. The tunability obtained was 28 % at 10 V/μm.
