Ferroelectric $Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ (PZT) films were deposited on SrTiO3(100) substrate by using conductive $SrRuO_3$ films as underlayer and their structural and ferroelectric properties were investigated. PZT films were grown in (00l) orientation on well lattice-matched pseudo-cubic $SrRuO_3$ films. Thickness dependence of ferroelectric and electrical properties of PZT films was investigated. PZT film with 400 nm thickness showed a remanent polarization ($P_r$) of $29.0{\mu}C/cm^2$ and coercive field ($E_c$) of 83 kV/cm, and $P_r$ decreased and $E_c$ increased with thickness reduction. The dielectric constant for PZT films showed gradual decrease with thickness reduction. Breakdown field of PZT films did not show the thickness dependence and displayed as high value as 1 MV/cm.

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.

[ $Pb(Zr_{0.4}Ti_{0.6}O_{3}\;and\;Pb(Zr_{0.6}Ti_{0.4})O_{3}$ ] paste were made and alternately screen-printed on the $Al_{2}O_{3}$ substrates. We have introduced a press-treatment to obtain a good densification of screen printed films. The porosity of the thick films was decreased with increasing the applied pressure and the thick films pressed at 60 MPa showed the dense microstructure and thickness of about $76\;{\mu}m$. The remanent polarization and coercive field increased with increasing applied pressure and the values for the PZT thick films pressed at 60 MPa were $17.04{\mu}C/cm^{2}$ and 78.09 kV/cm, respectively.

The A S $r_{0.7}$B $i_{2.6}$T $a_2$ $O_{9}$ (SBT)thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode(Pt/$TiO_2$/$SiO_2$/Si) using a RF magnetron sputtering method. The electrical properties of SBT capacitors with top electrodes were studied. In the XRD pattern, the SBT thin films in all annealing temperatures had (105) orientation. In the SEM images, Bi-layered perovskite phase was crystallized at 75$0^{\circ}C$ and grains largely grew in oxygen annealing atmosphere. The electrical properties of SBT capacitor with top electrodes represent a favorable properties in Pt electrode. The maximum remanent polarization and the coercive electric field with Pt electrode are 12.40C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 30kV/cm, respectively.

Ferroelectric SrxBi2+yTa2O9+$\alpha$ thin films with various compositions(x=0.7, 0.8, 1, y=0.3, 0.4) were prepared by sol-gel method. The film with moled ratio of 0.8:2.3:2.0 in Sr/Bi/Ta, which was deposited on Pt/SiO2/Si (100), showed better ferroelectric properties than other films. To investigate substrate effects, the same compositions were spin coated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si (100) substrates. At an applied voltage of 5V, the dielectric constant($\varepsilon$r), remanent polarization (2Pr) and coercive field (Ec) of the Sr0.8Bi2.3Ta2O9+$\alpha$ thin film prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si (100) were about 296, 24$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and Ec of 49kV/cm respectively. Both SBT films firred at 80$0^{\circ}C$ revealed no fatigue up to 1010 cycles. Retention characteristics of these capacitors showed no degradation up to 104 sec.

Sm-doped lead zirconate titanate($Pb_{1.1}(Zr_{0.6}Ti_{0.4})O_3$; PZT) thin films on the Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si(100) substrates prepared by a sol-gel method. The effect on structural and electrical properties of PZT thin films measured according to the Sm content. Sm-doping altered significantly dielectric and ferroelectric properties. The remanent polarization and the coercive field decreased with the increasing Sm content. The dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of PZT thin films decreased with the increasing Sm content. At 100 kHz, the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of. the 0.3 mol% of Sm-doped PZT thin film were 1200 and 0.12 respectively. The remanent polarization (2Pr) of the 0.3 mol% of Sm-doped PZT thin film was $52.13{\mu}C/cm^2$ and the coercive field was 94.01 kV/cm. The 0.3 mol% of Sm-doped PZT thin film showed an improved fatigue characteristic comparing to the undoped PZT thin film.

$Bi_{3.25}Eu_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12}$ (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.

In this paper, $0.10Pb(Sb_{1/2}Sn_{1/2})O_3-0.25PbTiO_3-0.65PbZrO_3$ ceramics were fabricated by the mixed-oxide method. The sintering temperature and time were $1230^{\circ}C$ and 2(hr), respectively. The structural, dielectric and pyroelectric properties with addition of $Y_2O_3$ were studied. The crystal structure of a specimen was rhombohedral. As a result of SEM, the average grain size were decreased with increasing the contents of $Y_2O_3$. Relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the specimen doped with 0.2wt% $Y_2O_3$ were 597 and 0.022, respectively.
