$Bi_{3.25}La_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12}$(BLT) thin films were prepared on the Pt(150 nm)/Ti(50 nm)/$SiO_2$/Si substrate using the rf magnetron sputtering method. The BLT thin films were annealed at temperatures ranging from $600^{\circ}C$ to $750^{\circ}C$ using the rapid thermal annealing. The structure and surface morphology of the thin films were characterized by x-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The hysteresis loop of the BLT thin films showed that the remanent polarization (2Pr) of the film annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ was 10.92 ${\mu}C/cm^2$. The fatigue characteristic of the BLT thin film annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ was shown change polarization up to $1.2{\times}10^9$ switching cycles. We confirmed the excellent remnant polarization (Pr) and fatigue properties compared with other fabrication methods and suggested a good method for BLT thin films fabrications.

The effects of deposition temperature and post annealing process of ferroelectric PbZr$\sub$0.52/Ti$\sub$0.48/O$_3$(PZT) thin films by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) were investigated. The PZT thin films were deposited at 400, 450, 500, and 550$^{\circ}C$, with/without post annealing at 650$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The PZT thin films deposited above 500$^{\circ}C$ without post annealing were crystallized into peroveskite phase, but the PZT thin films deposited below 450$^{\circ}C$ had pyrochlore phase. The PZT thin films deposited below 450$^{\circ}C$ with post annealing also crystallized into pure perovskite. Compared to the PZT thin films which were deposited at 450$^{\circ}C$ and post annealed, the films deposited at 550$^{\circ}C$ have a columnar microstructure and high remnant polarization 28 (${\mu}$C/cm$^2$). With in-situ annealing at oxygen ambient, the PZT thin films reduced oxygen vacancies and increased retained polarization.

$SrBi_2Nb_2O_9(SBN)$ thin films were grown on Pt/Ti/Si and p-type Si(100) substrates by rf-magnetron co-sputtering method using two ceramic targets, $SrNb_2O_6\; and \;Bi_2O_3$. The structural and electrical characteristics have been investigated to confirm the possibility of the SBN thin films for the applications to destructive and nondestructive read out ferroelectric random access memory(FRAM). For the optimum growth condition X-ray diffraction patterns showed that SBN films had well crystallized Bi-layered perovskite structure after $700^{\circ}C$ heat-treatment in furnace. From this specimen we got remnant polarization $(2P_r)$ of about 6 uC/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and coercive voltage $(V_c)$ of about 1.5 V at an applied voltage of 5 V. The leakage current density was $7.6{\times}10^{-7}$/A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at an applied voltage of 5V. And for the NDRO-FRAM application, properties of SBN films on Si substrate has been investigated. From transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, we found the furnace treated sample had a native oxide about 2 times thicker than the RTA treated sample and this thick native oxide layer had a bad effect on C-V characteristics of SBN/Si thin film. After $650^{\circ}C$ RTA process, we got the improved memory window of 1.3 V at an applied voltage of 5 V.

In this study, Ferroelectric vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (VF2-TrFE) copolymer films were directly deposited on degenerated Si (n+, $0.002\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$) using by spin coating method. A 1~5 wt% diluted solution of purified vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (VF2:TrFE = 70:30) in a dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent were prepared and deposited on silicon wafers at a spin rate of 2000 ~ 4000 rpm for 2 ~ 30 seconds. After annealing in a vacuum ambient at 100 ~ $200^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, upper aluminum electrodes were deposited by vacuum evaporation for electrical measurement. X-ray diffraction results showed that the VF2-TrFE films on Si substrates had $\beta$-phase of copolymer structures. The capacitance on highly doped Si wafer showed hysteresis behavior like a butterfly shape and this result indicates clearly that the copolymer films have ferroelectric properties. The typical measured remnant polarization ($P_r$) and coercive filed ($E_c$) values were about $5.7\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 710 kV/em, respectively, in an applied electric field of ${\pm}$ 1.5 MV/em. The gate leakage current densities measured at room temperature was less than $7{\times}10^{-7}\; A/cm^2$ under a field of 1 MV/cm.

The effects of substrate temperatures and annealing temperatures on the microstructures and ferroelectric properties of PbZ $r_{0.52}$ $Ti_{0.48}$ $O_3$(PZT) thin fims prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) were investigated. For this purpose, the PZT films were deposited at various substrate temperatures (400~$600^{\circ}C$) with post annealing process in oxygen atmosphere. The single perovskite phase was formed at the deposition temperature of 500 to 55$0^{\circ}C$ without post annealing and the PZT films deposited below 50$0^{\circ}C$ formed the single phase with post annealing at $650^{\circ}C$. The grain size of the films increased and the grain boundary of the films was clearly defined as the substrate temperature increased from 400 to 55$0^{\circ}C$. The remnant polarization (Pr) and the coercive field (Ec) of the films deposited at 55$0^{\circ}C$ and annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ were 34.3 $\mu$C/c $m^2$and 60.2 kV/cm, respectively.y.y.

Characteristics of piezoelectric thick films prepared by screen printing method were investigated. The piezoelectric thick films were printed using Pb(Mg,Nb)O$_3$-Pb(Zr,Ti)O$_3$system. The lower electrodes were coated with various thickness of Ag-Pd by screen printing to investigate the effect as a diffusion barrier and deposited with Pt by sputtering on Ag-Pd. The ceramic paste was prepared by mixing powder and binder with various ratios using three roll miller. The fabricated thick films were burned out at 650$^{\circ}C$ and sintered at 950$^{\circ}C$ in the O$_2$condition for each 20, 60min after printing with 350mesh screen. The thickness of piezoelectric thick film was 15∼20 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and the Ag-Pd electrode acted as a diffusion barrier above 3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness.

Iron-excess gallium ferrite, $Ga_{0.6}Fe_{1.4}O_3$ (GFO), is known to have room-temperature ferromagnetic phases and potentially exhibit ferroelectricity as well [1]. But, leaky polarization-electric field (PE) hysteresis curves of the GFO thin film are hurdle to prove its spontaneous polarization, in other words, ferroelecticity. One of the reasons that the GFO films have leaky PE hysteresis loop is carrier hopping between $Fe^{2+}$ and $Fe^{3+}$ sites due to oxygen deficiency. We focus on reducing conducting current by substituting divalent cations at $Fe^{2+}$ sites. GFO thin films were grown epitaxially along b-axis normal to $SrRuO_3/SrTiO_3$ (111) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Current density of the ion-substituted GFO thin films was reduced by $10^3$ or more. Ferroelectric properties of the ion-substituted GFO thin films were measured using macroscopic and microscopic schemes. In particular, local ferroelectric properties of the GFO thin films were exhibited and their remnant polarization and piezoelectric d33 coefficient were obtained.
