Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) thin films were deposited on the Pt/Ti bottom electrode by rf magnetron sputtering method from target containing 5%, 25% and 50% Pb excess for applying ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM). PZT films were deposited at $300^{\circ}C$ and then they were crystallized by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at $700^{\circ}C$. After RTA treatment, our results showed that all PZT films indicated perovskite polycrystalline structure with preferred orientation (110) and no pyrochlore phase was observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A well-fabricated PZT film of excess Pb 25% capacitor showed a leakage current density in the order of $2.63{\times}10^{-7}A/cm^2$ at 100kV/cm, a remanent polarization of $3.385{\mu}C/cm^2$ and a coercive field of 41.32 kV/cm. The results showed that Pb excess of target affects to electrical properties of PZT thin film.

The PZT thin films were deposited on Si(100) substrate using RF magnetron sputtering method. And the PZT thin films were post annealed at various temperatures to form perovskite phase. To analyze PZT thin films, surface profiler, XRD, XPS, CA, and SFE were used. The thickness increased from 536.5 to 833.2 nm as post annealing temperature increased. The perovskite PZT was observed from PZT-823 and pyrochlore PZT, $ZrO_2$, $TiO_2$, and perovskite $PbZrO_3$ were observed. From the XPS, the atomic percentages of Pb, Zr, Ti, and O were calculated and the portion of Pb increased to PZT-823 and decreased to PZT-923 and then increased to PZT-1023. Also, the CA and SFE was effected on post annealing temperature and as a function of atomic percentage of Pb, the CA and SFE was transformed.

$Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3(PZT)$ thin films deposited on $Ru/RuO_2$ bottom electrode that grown for in-situ progress used rf magnetron sputtering method. We investigated the dependence of the crystalline and electrical properties in the way of capacitors PZT thin films. Our results show that all PZT films indicated polycrystalline perovskite structure with preferred orientation (110) and no pyrochlore phase is observed. The electric properties of the Ru improved with increasing Ru thin films thickness. A well-fabricated Ru/PZT/Ru (100 nm) /$RuO_2$ capacitor showed a leakage current density in the order of $2.03{\times}10^{-7}$ $A/cm^2$ as a 50 kV/cm, a remnant polarization (Pr) of 9.22 ${\mu}C/cm^2$, and a coercive field (-EC) of -32.22 kV/cm. The results show that $Ru/Ru/RuO_2$ bottom electrodes are expected to reduce the degradation ferroelectric fatigue and excellent ferroelectric properties.

PbVO3 (PVO), a polar magnetic material considered as a candidate of multiferroic, has ferroelectricity along the c-axis and 2-dimensional antiferromagnetism lying in the in-plane through epitaxial growth [1,2]. PVO thin films were grown on LaAlO3 (001) substrates under reduction atmosphere from a stable Pb2V2O7 sintered target using pulsed laser deposition method. Epitaxial growth of the PVO films is possible only under Ar atmospheren with no oxygen partial pressure. X-ray diffraction was used to investigate the phase formation and texture of the films. We confirmed epitaxial growth of the PVO films with crystalline relationship of PbVO3[001]//LaAlO3[001] and PbVO3[100]//LaAlO3[100]. In addition, surface morphology of the films displays drastic changes in accordance with the growth conditions. Elongated PVO grains are related to the Pb2V2O7 pyrochlore structure. The relation between structural deformation and ferroelectricity in the PVO films was examined by local measurement of piezoresponse force microscopy.

Lead zirconium titanate (PZT) is usually used as bulk and thin films. Due to high flexibility and piezoelectric, ferroelectric and pyroelectric properties, PZT fiber has attracted in a variety of fields such as sensor devices, non-electromechanical systems and non-volatile ferroelectric memory devices. And PZT fiber can be numerously synthesized and almost with the diameter of PZT fiber thicker than $10{\mu}m$. However, the electrospinnig method is cost effective and convenient. PZT obtained by electrospinning methodhas the diameter from sub-micro to nanometer. In this paper, the PZT/PVP nanofibers were synthesized with three precursors, lead nitrate, zirconium ethoxide and titanium isopropoxide. And the PZT nanofibers were fabricated after removal of PVP by annealing process at various temperature. The obtained PZT nanofibers were characterized by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for chemical properties, X-ray diffraction (XRD) for crystallinity and phase, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphologies. The diameter of PZT nanofibers were measured with SEM. From the SEM images, we confirmed that diameter of PZT nanofibers was hundreds of nanometers and decreased with increasing the annealing temperature. When the annealing temperature increased, the crystallinity of PZT nanofibers changed from pyrochlore to perovskite structure.

The low temperature sintering and microwave dielectric properties of ceramic/glass composites which were composed of ceramics in the $Bi_2(Zn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_2O_7$ and zinc borosilicate glass/bismuth-zinc borosilicate glass were investigated with a view to applying the microwave dielectrics to low temperature co-fired ceramics. The $Bi_2(Zn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_2O_7$ addition of 5 wt% ZBS and BZBS glass ensured a successful sintering below $900^{\circ}C$. In addition, pyrochlore phase was observed in the all composition. $Bi_2(Zn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_2O_7$ with 5 wt% BZBS glasss demonstrated 70 as the dielectric constant ($\varepsilon_r$), 2,500 GHz as the Q$\times$f value, and -40 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ as TCF.

Ferroelectric PZT heterolayered thick films were fabricated by the alkoxide-based sol-gel method. PZT(20/80) and PZT(80/20) paste were made and alternately screen-printed on the alumina substrates. The coating and drying procedure was repeated 4 times to form the heterolayered thick films. The thickness of the PZT heterolayered thick films was approximately $60{\mu}m$. All PZT thick films showed the typical XRD patterns of a polycrystalline rhombohedral structure. And in the PZT thick films sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$, the pyrochlore phase was observed due to the evaporation of PbO. The relative dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of the PZT thick films sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$ were 445.2 and 1.90 % at 1 kHz, respectively. The remanent polarization and coercive field of the PZT thick films sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$ were $14.15{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 19.13 kV/cm, respectively.

In this study, the opto-electric properties of EL devices with PMN dielectric layer with variation of firing tempereature were investigated. For the PMN dielectric layer process, the paste was prepared by optimization of quantitative mixing of PMN powder, $BaTiO_3$, Glass Frit, $\alpha$-Terpineol and ethyl cellulose. The EL device stack consists of Alumina substrate ($Al_2O_3$), metallic electrode (Au), insulating layer (manufactured PMN paste), phosphor layer (ELPP- 030, ELK) and transparent electrode (ITO), which is well structure as a thick film EL device. The phase transformation properties of PMN dielectric with various firing temperatures of $150^{\circ}C$ to $850^{\circ}C$ was characterized by XRD. Also the opto-electric properties of EL devices with different firing temperature were investigated by LCR meter and spectrometer. We found the best opto-electric property was obtained at the condition of $550^{\circ}C$ firing which is 3432.96 $cd/m^2$ at 1948.3 pF Capacitance, 40 kHz Frequency, 40% Duty, Vth+330 V voltage.

The role of gas ratio with the crystallization behavior and electrical properties in $Bi_{3.25}La_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12}$(BLT) thin films by rf magnetron sputtering method has not been precisely defined. In this work, the ferroelectric properties of these films with gas variation was investigated. BLT thin films were deposited on the Pt/Ti bottom electrode by rf magnetron sputtering method and then they were crystallized by rapid thermal annealing (RTA). The experiment showed that all BLT films indicated perovskite polycrystalline structure with preferred orientation (020) and (0012). And no pyrochlore phase was observed. The fabricated film annealed with $O_2$ of 15 sccm showed that value of leakage current was $9.67{\times}10^{-7}A/cm^2$ at 50kV /em, and the value of remanent polarization (2Pr=Pr+-Pr-) was $11.8{\mu}C/cm^2$. Therefore we induce access to memory device application by rf-magnetron sputtering method in this report.
