Coating solutions for use in forming bismuth-based ferro-electric thin films, and ferro-electric thin films, ferro-electric capacitors and ferro-electric memories formed with said coating solutions, as well as processes for production thereof

摘要

The invention discloses a coating solution for use in forming Bi-based ferroelectric thin films (5) containing Bi, metallic element A (at least one selected from the group consisting of Bi, Pb, Ba, Sr, Ca, Na, K and rare earth elements) and metallic element B (at least one selected from the group consisting of Ti, Nb, Ta, W, Mo, Fe, Co and Cr), wherein it contains metal alkoxides of Bi, metallic element A and metallic element B respectively, and an organometallic compound obtainable by hydrolyzing composite metal alkoxides, formed by any two or more of said metal alkoxides, with water alone or in combination with a catalyst, and contains Bi in a molar amount 1 - 1.1 times as great as the stoichiometric amount; a ferroelectric thin film (5), a ferroelectric capacitor (10) and a ferroelectric memory with the use of such a coating solution; and a method for producing the same.
