Abstract

There has been a lot of interest on ferroelectric (FE) films especially for non-volatile memories and ultra high density DRAM applications. These films such as PZT and (Ba,Sr)TiO₃ are crystalline perovskite. BiFeO₃ is an interesting antiferromagnetic material which belongs to the perovskite crystal structure. Sol-gel derived BiFeO₃ films have been prepared on platinized Si substrates and their electrical and magnetic properties were obtained. XRD indicated that the films were crystalline perovskite when fired at 400°C and above. Dielectric constant of up to 100 was also obtained; however, the films tend to exhibit low resistivities especially in films fired to higher temperatures. The hysteretic loops obtained indicated a remanent polarization and coercive field of 5.5 μC/cm² and 180 kV/cm respectively.
