Abstract

Ferroelectric properties of{{{{ { { { {SrBi }_{2 }Ta }_{2-x }Nb }_{x }O }_{9 } }} (SBIN) thin films were affected by the amount of Bi content in SBTN. The addition of Bi into the SBTN films could be accomplished by heat treating SBTN/Bi2O3/SBTN het-erostructures fabricated by r.f. magnetron sputtering method. The variation of Bi content was controlled by changing the thickness of the sandwiched Bi2O3 in SBTN/Bi2O3/SBTN heterostructure from 50 to 400$\AA$. As changing the thickness of the sandwiched Bi2O3 in Bi2O3 films was increased from 0 to 100$\AA$ the grain grew faster and the ferroelectric pro-perties were improved. On the other hand when the thickness of Bi2O3 films was thicker than 150$\AA$ the fer-roelectric properties were deteriorated Especially for SBTN thin films inserted by 400$\AA$ Bi2O3 layer a Bi2Phase appeared as a second phase resulting in poor ferroelectric properties. The maximum remanent po-larization (2Pr) and coercive field(Ec) were obtained for the SBTN/Bi2O3/(100$\AA$)/SBTN thin films. In this case 2Pr and Ec were 14.75 $\mu$C/cm2 and 53.4kV/cm at an applied voltage of 3V respectively.
