Abstract

Ferroelectric Cerium-substituted $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ thin films with a thickness of 200 nm were deposited using the liquid delivery metal organic chemical vapor deposition process onto a Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si(100) substrate. At annealing temperature above $600^{\circ}C$, the BCT thin films became crystallized and exhibited a polycrystalline structure. The BCT thin film annealed at $720^{\circ}C$ showed a large remanent polarization ($2P_r$) of $44.56\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ at an applied voltage of 5V. The BCT thin film exhibits a good fatigue resistance up to $1{\times}10^{11}$ switching cycles at a frequency of 1 MHz with applied electric field of ${\pm}5\;V$.
