SrBi$_{2}$Ta$_{2}$O$_{9}$ (SBT) ferroelectric thin films for nonvolatile memory were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO$_{2}$/Si and RuO$_{2}$/SiO$_{2}$/Si substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. The dependences of crystalline and electrical properties on the lower electrode type(Pt and RuO$_{2}$) and the annealing temperatures were investigated. SBT films regardless of their electrode types showed typeical Bi layered peroviskite crystal structures. The crystalline quality of as-deposited SBT films was improved by the rapid thermal annealing at 650.deg. C for 30 sec. The remanetn polarization of 2Pr (Pr+-Pr-) of the annealed SBT films deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO$_{2}$/Si substrates were about 11 .mu.C/cm$^{2}$ and 3 .mu.C/cm$^{2}$, respectively. The leakage currents at 3 V bias voltage were about 0.8 .mu.A/cm$^{2}$ for SBT/ Pt/Ti/SiO$_{2}$/Si and about 1 .mu.A/cm$^{2}$ for SBT/RuO$_{2}$/SiO$_{2}$/Si sample. SBT films annealed at 650 .deg. C showed no degradation in Pr values after 10$^{11}$ polarization switching cycles, indicating good fatigue properties. In addition, for SBT samples deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO$_{2}$/Si, Pr values increased to more than that of initial state, suggesting the increament of leakage current caused by repeated polarization.
