Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3thick films were prepared on alumina substrates by screen printing using superfine starting powder derived from a citrate method. The thick film sintered at 1250°C showed a cubic perovskite structure and a porous microstructure. The dielectric properties of the thick film were investigated in comparison with dense ceramic specimen. The comparison indicates a significant effect of the porous microstructure on the dielectric properties. The porous microstructure of the thick film resulted in a lowered dielectric constant, an increased dielectric loss and a reduction of field history dependence for the dielectric nonlinearity under bias electric field. The increased dielectric dissipation of the thick film was interpreted with an appreciable interfacial polarization and an enhanced electric conduction. Compared with the ceramic specimen, the porous thick film maintained a reasonably good dielectric nonlinearity because of a large phenomenological coefficient. At room temperature, the thick film attained a dielectric constant of 1270 and a dielectric loss of 1.4% at zero bias field and 10kHz together with a tunability of 60% and a figure of merit of 43 at 57kV/cm and 10kHz.
