A new system 0.1 BiFeO 3-0.9 SrBi 2 Nb 2 O 9 thin films have been successfully prepared by an ethanolamine-modified sol-gel technique. The precursor solution was synthesized from compounds, Bi(NO 3)3· 5H 2 O , Sr(NO 3)2, Fe(NO 3)3· 9H 2 O and Nb(OC 2 H 5)5 in solution ethylene glycol monomethyl ether. The thin films were deposited on Si single crystal by spinning coating, and heat-treated at temperatures ranging from 400°C to 700°C. Crystallization of thin films occurred at about 500 ~ 600°C and the films exhibit a pure phase of layered perovskite ferroelectric structure. The grain of films is well distributed and the average grain size of the film is about 100nm.
