We have characterized (Sr,Sm)Bi2Ta 2O9 (SSBT) films fabricated by the sol-gel technique on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates. For ferroelectric-gate FET applications, a ferroelectric film which has a small remanent polarization and a relatively large coercive field is required. It is demonstrated that Sm doping in ferroelectric SBT films is effective to reduce the remanent polarization and enhance the coercive field. Sr0.5Sm0.2Bi2.2Ta2O9 films (150nm) crystallized at 850°C exhibits good electrical properties with a remanent polarization of 1.7 μC/cm2 and a coercive fields of 85 kV/cm. These values are suitable for ferroelectric-gate FET applications.
