Pr2O3-doped bismuth titanate (Bi4-xPrxTi3O12: BPT) thin films with random oriention were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by rf magnetron sputtering technique, and the structures and ferroelectric properties of the films were investigated. XRD studies indicated that all of BPT films consisted of single phase of a bismuth-layered structure with well-developed rod-like grains. For samples with x=0..0 , 0.25, 1.0 and 1.25, I-E characteristics exhibited negative differential resistance behaviors and their ferroelectric hysteresis loops were characterized by large leakage current, whereas for samples with x=0.5 and 0.75, I-E characteristics were simple ohmic behaviors and their ferroelectric hysteresis loops were the saturated and undistorted hysteresis loops. The remanent polarization ( Pr ) and coercive field (Ec) of the BPT Film with x=0.75 were above 30μC/cm2 and 75KV/cm , respectively.

Pr6O11-doped bismuth titanate (BixPryTi3O12 BPT) thin films were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by rf magnetron sputtering technique, and the microstructures and ferroelectric properties of the films were investigated. Microstructure studies indicate that all of BPT films with well-developed rod-like grains consist of single phase of a bismuth-layered structure without preferred orientation. Pr doping into Bi4Ti3O12 (BIT) causes a large shift of the Curie temperature (TC) of paraelectric-ferroelectric phase transition of BIT from 675°C to lower temperature and improvement in dielectric properties. The experimental results indicate that Pr doping into Bi4Ti3O12 results in a remarkable improvement in ferroelectric properties. The remanent polarization ( Pr ) and coercive field (Ec) of the BPT film with y=0.9 were 35 μC/cm2 and 80 kV/cm, respectively. After 3  1010 switching cycles, 20% degradation of Pr is observed in the film.

Intergrowth-superlattice-structured SrBi4Ti4O15–Bi4Ti3O12(SBT–BIT) films prepared on p-Si substrates by sol-gel processing. Synthesized SBT–BIT films exhibit good ferroelectric properties. As the annealing temperature increases from 600°C to 700°C, the remanent polarization Prof SBT–BIT films increases, while the coercive electric field Ecdecreases. SBT–BIT films annealed at 700°C have a Prvalue of 18.9µC/cm2which is higher than that of SBT (16.8µC/cm2) and BIT (14.6µC/cm2), and have the lowest Ecof 142 kV/cm which is almost the same as that of SBT and BIT. The C-V curves of Ag/SBT-BIT/p-Si heterostructures show the clockwise hysteresis loops which reveal the memory effect due to the polarization. The memory window in C-V curve of Ag/SBT-BIT/p-Si is larger than that of Ag/SBT/p-Si heterostructure or Ag/BIT/p-Si heterostructure.
