Ferroelectric $Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ (PZT(52/48)) thick films were fabricated by the screen-Printing method on the alumina substrates, and $PbTiO_3$ (PT) Precursor solution, which prepared by sol-gel method, was spin-coated on the PZT(52/48) thick films to obtain a densification. Its structural and electrical properties of the PZT(52/48) thick films with the treatment of PT precursor solution coating were investigated. The particle size of the thick films was increased with increasing the number of coatings and the thickness of the PZT-6 (6: number of coatings) films was about $60{\mu}m$. The relative dielectric constant increased and the dielectric loss decreased with increasing the number of PT sol coatings. The relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the PZT-6 thick film were 475 and 2 %, respectively. The remanent polarization, coercive field and breakdown strength of the PZT-6 film were $32.6{\mu}C/cm^2$, 15 kV/cm and 60 kV/cm, respectively.

A 16Mb ITIC FeRAM device was fabricated with BLT capacitors. The average value of the switchable 2 polarization obtained m the 32k-array (unit capacitor size: 068 ${mu}m^2$) capacitors was about 16 ${\mu}C/cm^2$ at 3V and the uniformity within an 8-inch wafer was about 2.8%. But a lot of cells were failed randomly during the measuring the bit-line signal of each cell. It was revealed that the Grain size and orientation of the BLT thin film were severely non-uniform. Therefore, the uniformity of the grain size and orientation was improved by changing the process conditions of post heat treatment. The temperature of nucleation step was the very effective on varying the microstructure of the BLT thin film. The optimized temperature of the nucleation step was $560^{\circ}C$.

Ferroelectric $Bi_{3.35}Sm_{0.65}Ti_{3}O_{12}(BSmT)$ thin films were synthesized by sol-gel process. In this experiments, $Bi(TMHD)_{3},\;Sm_{5}(O^{i}Pr)_{13},\;Ti(O^{i}Pr)_4$ were used as precursors, which were dissolved in 2-methoxyethanol. The BSmT thin films were deposited on the Pt/TiO/SiO/Si substrates by spin-coating. Thereafter, the thin films with the thickness of 240 nm were annealed from 600 to $720^{\circ}C$ in oxygen atmosphere for 1 h, and post-annealed in oxygen atmosphere for 1 h after deposition of Pt electrode to enhance the electrical properties. To investigate the effects of Sm-substitution in the BTO thin films, the BTO and BSmT thin films were prepared, respectively. The remanent polarization and coercive voltage of the BSmT thin films annealed at $720^{\circ}C$ were $19.48{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 3.40 V, respectively.

In this study, we prepared Pb-Ti stock solution by sol-gel processing and deposited PbTiO3 thin film on a Pt coated SiO2/Si wafer by spin coating using the stock solution. We used lead acetate trihydrate and titanium isopropoxide. The stock solution was partially hydrolized and finally a 0.25M coating solution was prepared. We achieved spin coating at 4000rpm for 30 seconds and heated the thin film at 375$^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes and at $600^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes successively, first and second heating state. And the thin film was finally sintered at 90$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour in the air. The upper electrode of the thin film was made by gold sputtering and was cricle shape with radius 0.4mm. Measured dielectric constant, dissipation factor and phase transition temperature(Cuire Temp.) were about 275, 0.02 and 521$^{\circ}C$ respectively. To observe ferroelectric characteristics we calculated Pr(remnant polarization) and Ec(coercive field) byhysteresis curve. Ec was 72kV/cm and Pr was 11.46$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

Thin films of Bi4-xSmxTi3O12(0$\leq$x$\leq$2) were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) at $700^{\circ}C$ using spin-coating with sols derived from Bi-Sm-Ti complex alkoxides. From X-ray diffraction analysis, it was observed that Sm-substituted phases resembled ferroelectric Bi4Ti3O12 in structure. Variations of their lattice parameters depending on the amount of Sm-substitution showed that an anomalous structural distortion might exist at x=1. The grain sizes of the thin films decreased from 0.115 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 0.078${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with increasing the amount of Sm-substitution. The dielectric constants and the remanent polarizations of the thin films decreased with increasing the amount of the Sm-substitution, which were related to decrease of the stereo-active Bi3+ ion contributing to polarization. However, these values were exceptionally high at x=1, compared to those of the other substituted phases. Such an anomaly suggests that the phase of x=1 has 1:1 chemical ordering between Sm and Bi in structure. The thin films of all compositions except x=2 showed ferroelectricity. The thin film of x=2 was paraelectric, whose grains were too fine to exhibit ferroelectricity.

Metal-Ferroelectric-Metal(MFM) capacitors were prepared using $Bi_{3.3}$ $La_{0.7}$ $Ti_3$$O_{12}$ (BLT) ferroelectric thin films which were spin coated on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2$/Si substrates by the Sol-Gel method. BLT thin films annealed at above $650^{\circ}C$ showed polycrystalline structures with typical c-axis preferred orientation. The grain size and surface roughness were increased as the annealing temperature increased from $650^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$. In addition, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) values were decreased with increasing annealing temperatures, indicating the improvement of crystallinity. The remanent polarization (2Pr= $Pr^{+}$ $+Pr^{-) }$ and leakage current of the BLT film annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ were about 29.3 $\mu$C/cm$^2$ and $2.3$\times$10^{-8}$$ A/cm^2$ at 3V. There were no distinct changes in the retention charges after $10^{10}$ polarization switching cycles, showing good fatigue property of the annealed BLT films.

Ferroelectric PZT(30/70)/PZT(70/30) heterolayered thin films were fabricated by spin-coating method on the $Pt/Ti/SiO_2Si$ substrate alternately using(30/70) and PZT(70/30) alkoxide solutions prepared by sol-coating method. The coating and heating procedure was repeated six times to form PZT heterolayered films, and thickness of the film obtained by one-times drying/sintering process was about 40-50 nm. All PZT heterolayered films, showed dense and homogeneous structure without the presence of rosette sturctrue. The relative dielectric constant, remanent polarization and leakage current density of PZT heterolayered films were superior to those of single composition PZT(30/70) and PZT(70/30) films, and those values for the PZT-6 film were 975, $21 \muC/cm^2\; and\; 8\times10^{-9}\; A/cm^2$, respectively. And the PZT-6 heterolayered film showed fairly good fatigue characteristics of remanent polarization and coercive field after application of $10^8$ switching cycles.

Pb(Zr$_{x}$Ti$_{1-x}$ )O$_{3}$ solutions prepared by sol-gel processing with different Zr/Ti ratio were coated on Pt/SiO$_{2}$/Si substrates using spin coating method. Coated films were annealed by rapid thermal annealing at 650.deg. C for 20sec to fabricate Pb(Zr, Ti)O$_{3}$ ferroelectric thin films. Electrical properties of the films such as dielectric constant and loss, ferroelectric hysteresis, fatigue, switching time, and leakage current were measured. Hysteresis of the films with different Zr/Ti ratio yield Pr ranging 10-21.mu.C/cm$^{2}$, E$_{c}$ ranging 37.5-137.5kV/cm. Hysteresis curve was changed from square-type to slim type according to increasing Zr contents. Switching time was faster than 180ns, and leakage current was about 20.mu.A/cm$^{2}$.
