The Pb(Zr/sub 0.52/Ti/sub 0.48/)O₃/(Ba/sub 0.6/Sr/sub 0.4/)TiO₃[PZT/BST] heterolayered thin films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si substrates by using the RF sputtering method with different RF power. The PZT/BST heterolayered thin films had the tetragonal structure of the PZT phase and BST phase. Increasing the RF power. the intensity of the PZT (100), (110) peaks and BST (111) peaks were decreased and the intensity of the BST (100), (110) peaks were increased. The thickness ratio of the top layered BST thin film and the bottom layered PZT thin film was 2 to1. The atomic concentration of the Ba, Sr, Pb. Zr, Ti atoms were constant in the PZT thin films and BST thin films, respectively. The Pt atom was diffused to the PZT region in the PZT/BST heterolayered thin films deposited at condition of 60[W] RF power. Increasing the frequency, dielectric constant and loss of the PZT/BST heterolayered thin films were decreased. The dielectric constant and loss of the PZT/BST heterolayered thin films deposited with RF power of 90[W] were 406 and 3%, respectively.

The $Pb(Zr_{0.4}Ti_{0.6})O_3/Pb(Zr_{0.6}Ti_{0.4})O_3$ [PZT(4060)/(6040)] heterolayered thin films were deposited by RF sputtering method on the $Pt/TiO_2/SiO_2/Si$ substrate. The effects of the structural and dielectric properties of PZT heterolayered thin films were investigated. The MFM(Metal Ferroelectric Metal) type capacitors were made using the PZT(6040)/(4060) heterolayered thin films deposited with optimum deposition condition. An enhanced dielectric property was observed in the PZT(4060)/(6040) thin films. Investigating the dielectric constant and dielectric loss characteristics. the application for the next-generation dielectric thin films and memory devices were studied.

The structural properties of the PZT(52/48)/BST(60/40) heterolayered thin films were investigated with Ar/$O_2$ ratio condition. All the PZT(52/48)/BST(60/40) heterolayered thin films had shown the PZT(111), (200) and BST(200) Peaks of the tetragonal structure. Increasing the Ar/$O_2$ ratio, the average roughness was increased. The thickness ratio of the to the PZT and BST thin film was 1:2.

The PZT(10/90)/(90/17) heterolayered thin films were fabricated by the spin-coaling on the Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrate using the PZT(10/90) and PZT(70/10) metal alkoxide solutions. The effect of heterolayered thin films on the ferroelectrics and electrical properties have been investigated. The lower PZT layers provided the nucleation site for the formation of a perovskite phase of the upper PZT films. Dielectric constant increased with increasing the number of coatings, and it was about 569.9 at PZT-6 heterolayered films.

We investigated the structural and dielectric properties of PZT(20/80)/PZT(80/20) heterolayered thin films that fabricated by the alkoxide-based Sol-Gel method. PZT(20/80)/PZT(80/20) heterolayered thin films were spin-coated on the Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrate with PZT(20/80) film of tetragonal structure and PZT(80/20) film of rhombohedral structure by turns. Each layers were dried to remove the organic materials at 30$0^{\circ}C$ for 30min and sintered at $650^{\circ}C$ for 1hr. This procedure was repeated several times to form PZT(20/80)/PZT(80/20) heterolayered films and thickness of the film obtained by one-times of drying/sintering process was approximately 80-90nm. PZt-1, 3, 5 films with top layer of PZT(20/80) film of tetragonal structure showed fine grain structure and PZT-2, 4, 6 films with top layer of PZT(80/20) film of rhombohedral structure showed the dense grain microstructure without rosette-type. Dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the PZT-6 film were approximaterly 1385 and 3.3% respectively. Increasing the number of coatings remanent polarization was increased and coercive field was decreased and the values of the PZT-6 film were 8.13$\mu$C/cm$^2$and 12.5kV/cm respectively.

The heterolayered thick/thin structure consisting of $Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ and $BaTiO_3(BT)$ were fabricated by a sol-gel process. PZT powders, prepared by the sol-gel method, were mixed with an organic vehicle and the PZT thick films were fabricated by the screen printing techniques on alumina substrate with Pt electrodes. The microstructural and dielectric characteristics of the stacked heterolayered PZT/BT/PZT films were investigated by varying the number of coating $BaTiO_3$ layers. The existence of a $BaTiO_3$ layer between the PZT thick films of the tri-layer $Pb(Zr_xTi_{1-x})O_3/BaTiO_3/Pb(Zr_xTi_{1-x})O_3$thick/thin/thick film can greatly improve the leakage current properties of the PZT thick films. The average thickness of a PZT(5248)/$BaTiO_3$ heterolayered thick/thin film was 25$\mu$m. The relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the PZT(5248)/$BaTiO_3$-3 heterolayered thin film coated three times were 1087 and 1.00% at 1[MHz].
