Abstract: Strontium bismuth tantalate(SBT) and ferroelectric thin films were prepared by a novel sol-gel method on Al2O3 and Pt/Ti//SiO2/Si substrates by using strontium nitrate, bismuth nitrate and fluorine tantalum acid as the sol precursors, and citric acid-ethylene glycol-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(EDTA) as the chelating agents. The structure characterization of the sol and as-grown SBT thin films by FTIR, XRD and SEM revealed that the factors such as kind and content of chelating agents and pH value played a key role in the preparing process. The results show that the polycrystalline films with a single orthorhombic-phase are density, homogeneity and crack-free, and average grain size of 150 nm at 750℃ for 40 min in oxygen atmosphere. The ferroelectrics properties of thin films are obtained that remnant polarization(2Pr) and coercive field(2Ec) are 9.6 μC/cm2 and 76 kV/cm, respectively.
