Ca3Co4O9　ceramics　were　prepared　by　sol-gel　method　and　spark　plasma　sintering　(SPS)　process.　The　influence　of　SPS　process　on　the　phase,　microstructure　and　electrical　properties　of　the　ceramics　were　investigated　by　XRD,　SEM,　etc.　The　results　show　that　plate-like　powders　and　SPS　process　especially,　increasing　of　sintering　temperature　are　beneficial　to　form　Ca3Co4O9　texture.　It　is　suggested　that　the　rearrangement　of　the　plate　like　powder　took　place　under　the　magnetic　field　derived　from　pulsed　current　in　SPS　process,　resulting　in　the　powder　orientation.　In　our　experimental　range,　the　orientation　degree　of　Ca3Co4O9　bulk　increased　from　0.75　to　0.87,　and　electrical　resistivity　decreased　from　6.24　x　10(-5)　Omega.m　to　5.59　x　10(-5)　Omega.m,　when　the　SPS　temperature　was　from　750　degrees　C　to　900　degrees　C.　In　addition,　Ca3Co4O9　bulk　showed　classical　electrical　character　of　semiconductor,　the　electrical　conductivity　of　samples　increased　with　increasing　temperature.　The　maximum　electrical　conductivity　was　obtained　at　700　degrees　C　for　p-type　Ca3Co4O9　compounds　when　the　SPS　temperature　was　850　degrees　C.
