Crack-free and transparent Sr2KNb5O15 (SKN) thin films have been synthesized by the chemical solution deposition method. A homogeneous and stable precursor solution was prepared via controlling the reaction of metal alkoxides. SKN precursor was found to be the complex alkoxide between Sr[Nb(OEt)6]2 and KNb(OEt)6 with high structural symmetry. SKN powders and thin films on fused silica substrates directly crystallized to the polycrystalline tetragonal tungsten bronze phase at 600 °C. Highly oriented SKN thin films with the tetragonal tungsten bronze phase were fabricated on MgO(100) and Pt(100)/MgO(100) substrates. Two crystal lattice planes of SKN were intergrown at an orientation of 18.5° on MgO(100). The dielectric constant of SKN thin films on Pt(100)/MgO(100) was about 590 at 20 °C at 1 kHz.

sup>57Fe-enriched BiFeO3 (BFO) thin films were fabricated on SiO2/Si substrates from a stoichiometric precursor solution by chemical solution deposition process. The Bi/Fe molar ratio of the thin films decreased from 0.95 to 0.80 with increase in the sintering temperature. A perovskite phase and flat surface were obtained in the BFO thin films sintered at 500 and 600 °C. However, the 57Fe Mössbauer spectra showed a mixture phase due to amorphous and/or Bi2Fe4O9 phases in the BFO thin films. The valence state of Fe ions of the BFO thin films was confirmed to be only Fe3+ by the Mössbauer spectra.

In order to carry out a convenient preparation of Pb ( Zr x Ti 1-x) O 3 thin films by combinatorial chemical solution deposition process, two kinds of Pb ( Zr x Ti 1-x) O 3 precursor solutions ( PbTiO3 precursor solution and PbZrO3 precursor solution) were prepared by a simple process. There is no distillation and no inert gas shielding in the process, and the precursors are more stable than the conventional precursor solution. A series of Pb ( Zr x Ti 1-x) O 3 samples (x = 0.1–0.9, in step of 0.1 amount change) were prepared using the two precursor solutions. The process was fast and saved time. There were strong exothermic reactions for the samples with the Zr content x in a short range from x = 0.23 to 0.27 at 161–200°C. The Pb ( Zr x Ti 1-x) O 3 thin films showed perovskite structure with strong (111)-preferred orientation. The structure and ferroelectric property of the PZT thin films are comparable with those of the PZT fabricated by conventional process.

Epitaxial ZnO thin films were grown on (111) MgAl2O4 with a pre-seeded, two-step chemical solution deposition process. Isolated, epitaxial ZnO islands (seeds) were formed on the substrate in the first step by spin coating a very thin layer of the precursor solution and heat-treating to 950 °C/3 h. In the second step, the seeded substrate was coated with another layer of precursor to produce an epitaxial film. The result was compared with the case in which a MgAl2O4 substrate was not seeded. Both the seeded and unseeded ZnO films have out-of-plane and in-plane orientation relationships of , respectively. However, only the seeded ZnO films have very faceted surface morphology without grain boundaries, indicating epitaxy, whereas the unseeded ZnO films have deep grain boundaries indicative of polycrystalline nature. This result shows that the formation of seeds in the first step plays an instrumental role in the formation of an epitaxial ZnO film.

In the present work, polycrystalline Bi0.67La0.33Fe0.5Sc0.5O3 thin films were synthesized using a simple and cost-effective chemical solution deposition process employing the spin coating technique. In order to check the feasibility of the fabrication of thin films on various types of substrates, the films were deposited on Pt-coated silicon, silicon, sapphire, corundum, fused silica and glass. Based on the results of thermogravimetric analysis of precursor and thermal stability study, it was determined that the optimal annealing temperature for the formation of perovskite structure is 600 °C. It was observed that the relative intensity of the pseudocubic peaks (001)p and (011)p in the XRD patterns is influenced by the nature of substrates, suggesting that the formed crystallites have some preferred orientation. Roughness of the films was determined to be dependent on the nature of the substrate.

Ferroelectric SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) thin films on Pt/ZrO2/SiO2/Si were successfully prepared by using an alkanolamine-modified chemical solution deposition method. It was observed that alkanolamine provided stability to the SBT solution by retarding the hydrolysis and condensation rates. The crystallinity and the microstructure of the SBT thin films improved with increasing annealing temperature and were strongly correlated with the ferroelectric properties of the SBT thin films. The films annealed at 800 °C exhibited low leakage current density, low voltage saturation, high remanent polarization, and good fatigue characteristics at least up to 1010 switching cycles, indicating favorable behavior for memory applications.
