Ferroelectric $HoMnO_3$ thin films were deposited on the Si(100) substrate at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and post-annealed at 850oC by rapid thermal process (RTP). Electrical properties and crystalline phases of $HoMnO_3$ thin films were investigated as a function of postannealing time. Single phase of hexagonal symmetry with c-axis preferred orientation was obtained from $HoMnO_3$ thin films post-annealed at $850^{\circ}C$ for 5 min, while the c-axis preferred orientation was decreased with the increase of post-annealing time, and the thin films post-annealed at $850^{\circ}C$ for 15 min showed the mixture phases of hexagonal and orthorhombic symmetry. P-E (Polarization-Electric field) hysteresis loop of ferroelectric $HoMnO_3$ thin films was observed only for the single phase of hexagonal symmetry, but that was not observed for the mixture phases of the hexagonal and orthorhombic symmetry, which was discussed with the bond valence of Mn ion of crystalline phase. Leakage current density was dependent on the microstructure of thin films as well as the change of valence of Mn ion.

$BaTiO_3$ thin films preferred c-axis orientation for the potential application of ferroelectric memory devices were deposited on silicon substrates(100) by RF sputtering and annealed at 800 and 900[$^{\circ}C$] in air. The BT(100)/BT(110) peak ratio of the sputtered sample was decreased with post-annealing in air. According to increasing with annealing temperature and time, the peak ratio of BT(100)/BT(110) was decreased and the surface density of thin film was high. Dielectric characteristics of $BaTiO_3$ thin film was measured as a function of annealing temperature and frequency. The dielectric constants were increased with annealing and decreased with frequency by space charge polarization and dipole polarization below 600[kHz]. The remanent polarization and coercive field in P-E hysteresis loop of $BaTiO_3$thin film were increased with the annealing temperature in air. The remanent polarization and coercive filed annealed at 800[$^{\circ}C$] for 1hr were 1.2[$\mu$C/$cm^2$] and 200[kV/cm]

Ferroelectric B $i_4$$_{-x}$N $d_{x}$ $Ti_3$ $O_{12}$ (BNdT) thin films with the composition(x=0.75) were prepared on Pt/Ti/ $SiO_2$(100) substrate by metal-organic deposition. The films were annealed by various temperatures from 550 to $650^{\circ}C$ and then the electrical and structural characteristics of BNdT films were investigated for the application of FRAM. Electrical properties such as dielectric constant, 2Pr and capacitance were quite dependent on the thermal heat treatment. The measured 2Pr value on the BNdT capacitor annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ was 56$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at an applied voltage of 5V. In fatigue characteristics value remained constant up to 8$\times$10$^{10}$ read/write switching cycles at a frequency of 1Mhz regardless of annealing temperatures.

Ferroelectric europium-substitution $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ thin films were fabricated by spin-coating onto a Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate. The $Bi_{3.25}Eu_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12}$ (BET) films have polycrystalline structure annealed at 700 C. We investigated that the influence of $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ thin films by substituting for Bi ions with Bi ions using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). From the XPS measurement, it was suggested that the stability of the metal-oxygen octahedral should be related to substitute for Bi ions with Eu ions at annealed $800^{\circ}C$. The BET thin films showed a large remanent polarization (2Pr) of $60.99C/cm^2$ at an applied voltage of 10 V. The BET thin films exhibited no significant degradation of switching charge at least up to $5{\times}10^9$ switching cycles at a frequency of 50 kHz.

In this paper, in order to develop the composition ceramics with the outstanding piezoelectric properties, $Pb(Mg_{1/2}W_{1/2})_{0.03}(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_{0.09}(Zr_{0.5}Ti_{0.5})_{0.88}O_3$ ceramics substituted with $BiFeO_3$ were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The addition of small amount of $Li_2CO_3$ and $CaCO_3$ as sintering aids decreased the sintering temperature of the ceramics. The effects of $BiFeO_3$ substitution on their piezoelectric and dielectric properties were investigated. when 0.015 mol $BiFeO_3$ was substituted, the optimal physical properties of $d_{33}=590pC/N$, $E_c=8.78kV/mm$ were obtained.

$Bi_{3.25}Eu_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12}$ (BET) thin films were deposited on the $LaNiO_3$ (LNO (100))/Si and Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates by the metal-organic decomposition method. Structural and dielectric properties of BLT thin films for the applications in nonvolatile ferroelectric random access memories were investigated. Both the structure and morphology of the films were analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Even at low temperatures $650^{\circ}C$, the BET thinfilms were successfully deposited on LNO bottom electrode and exhibited (001) and (117) orientation. Compared with the Pt electrode films, the BET thin films on the LNO electrode annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ showed better dielectric constantsand remanent polarization. The BET thin films on the LNO electrode for the annealing temperature of $650^{\circ}C$, the remanent polarization Pr and coercive field were $45.6\;C/cm^2$ and 171 kV/cm, respectively.

The post-annealing treatments on RF (Radio Frequency) magnetron sputtered PZI(Pb$\_$1.05/(Zr$\_$0.52/, Ti$\_$0.48/)O$_3$thin films(4000${\AA}$) have been investigated. for a structure of PZT/Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si Crystallization pproperties of PZT films were strongly dependent on RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing) annealing temperature. We were able to obtain a perovskite structure of PZT at a low temperature of 600$^{\circ}C$. P-E curves of Pd/PZT/Pt capacitor annealed at 700$^{\circ}C$ demonstrate typical hysteresis loops. The measured values of P$\_$r/, E$\_$c/, by post annealed at 700$^{\circ}C$ were 12.1 ${\mu}$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 120KV/cm respectively.

Tb-doped lead zirconate titanate($Pb_{1.1}(Zr_{0.6}Ti_{0.4})O_3$; PZT) thin films on $Pt(111)/Ti/SiO_2/Si(100)$ substrates prepared by a sol-gel method. Films have a Zr/Ti ratio of 60:40 and perovskite phase structure. The effect on the structural and electrical properties of films measured according to Tb content. Dielectric and ferroelectric properties of PZT thin films were altered significantly by Tb-doping. The PZT thin film with higher dielectric constant and improved leakage current characteristic was obtained by adding 0.3 mol% Tb. At 100 kHz, the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of the 0.3 mol% Tb-doped PZT thin film were 1611 and 0.24, respectively The remanent polarization(2Pr) of the 0.3 mol% Tb-doped PZT thin film was $61.4\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ and the coercive field was 61.9 kV/cm. Tb-doped PZT thin films showed improved fatigue characteristics comparing to the undoped PZT thin film.

[ $Bi_{3.25}La_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12}$ ] (BLT) thin films were prepared by using metal organic decomposition method onto the LaNiO3 (LNO) bottom electrode. Both the structure and morphology of the films were analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Even at low temperatures ranging from 450 to $650^{\circ}C$, the BLT thin films were successfully deposited on LNO bottom electrode and exhibited (117) orientation. The BLT thin films annealed as low as $600^{\circ}C$ showed excellent ferroelectricity, higher remanent polarization and no significant degradation of switching charge at least up to $5{\times}10^9$ switching cycles at a frequency of 100 kHz and 5 V. For the annealing temperature of $600^{\circ}C$, the remanent polarization $P_r$ and coercive field were $23.5\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 120 kV/cm, respectively.

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is one of the most attractive perovskite-type materials for ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) due to its higher remanant polarization and the ability to withstand higher coercive fields. We first applied the damascene process using chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) to fabricate the PZT thin film capacitor to solve the problems of plasma etching including low etching profile and ion charging. The $0.8{\times}0.8\;{\mu}m$ square patterns of silicon dioxide on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate were coated by sol-gel method with the precursor solution of PZT. Damascene process by CMP was performed to pattern the PZT thin film with the vertical sidewall and no plasma damage. The polarization-voltage (P-V) characteristics of PZT capacitors and the current-voltage characteristics (I-V) were examined by change of process parameters. To examine the CMP induced damage to PZT capacitor, the domain structure of the polished PZT thin film was also investigated by piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM).
