Bismuth layered structure, Cerium-substituted $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ ($(Bi,Ce)_4Ti_3O_{12}$) thin films were prepared on the $Pt/TiO_2/SiO_2/Si$ substrates by the pulsed laser deposition method. We investigated the Ce-subsitituted effect on the grain orientation and ferroelectric properties. $Ce^{3+}$ ion substitution for $Bi^{3+}$ ion in perovskite layers of BTO decreased the deeree of c-axis orientation and increased the remanent polariation (2Pr). The structure and morphology of the films were characterized using X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy. The $(Bi,Ce)_4Ti_3O_{12}$ (BCT) thin films, which were annealed $700^{\circ}C\;and\;800^{\circ}C$ for 10min and 30min, showed a perovskite phase and dense microstructure. As the thickness of the BCT film was decresed that the ferroelectric properties of the BCT thin films were good.
