The $Sr_{0.7}Bi_{2.3}Nb_2O_9$(SBN) thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode(Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si) using RF sputtering method at various deposition conditions. We investigated the effect of deposition condition on the surface morphology and dielectric properties of SBN thin films. The optimum of the rougness showed about 4.33 nm in 70/30 of Ar/$O_2$ ratio. The crystallinity and rougness of SBN thin films were increased with the increase of rf power. Also, Deposition rate of SBN thin films was about 4.17 nm/min in 70 W of rf power. The capacitance of SBN thin films were increased with the increase of Ar/$O_2$ ratio, rf power and deposition temperature respectively.

The SBN thin films were deposited on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si and p-type Si(100) substrate by rf magnetron sputtering method using $Sr_{0.7}Bi_{2.3}Nb_2O_9$ ceramic target. SBN thin films deposited were annealed at 600~800[$^{\circ}C$] by furnace in oxygen atmosphere during 40min. The polarization characteristics have been investigated to confirm the possibility of the SBN thin films for the application to destructive read out ferroelectric random access memory. The maximum remanent polarization and the coercive voltage are 0.6[${\mu}C/cm^2$], 1.2[V] respectively at annealing temperature of 800[$^{\circ}C$]. The leakage current density was the $2.57{\times}10^{-6}[A/cm^2]$ at an applied voltage of 5[V] at annealing temperature of 650[$^{\circ}C$]. Also, the fatigue characteristics of SBN thin films did not change up to $10^8$ switching cycles.

The $Sr_{0.7}Bi_{2.3}Nb_2O_9$(SBN) thin films are deposited on Pt-coated electrode($Pt/Ti.SiO_2/Si$) using RF sputtering method. The dielectric constant of SBN thin films were increased with the increase of annealing temperature. The maximum dielectric constant of SBN thin film is obtained by annealing at 700[$^{\circ}C$]. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss had a stable value within -5~+5[V].

The SrBi$_2$Nb$_2$O$_{9}$ (SBN) thin films were deposited on p-type(100) Si substrates by rf magnetron sputtering to confirm the Possibility of Pt/SBN/Si structure for the application of nondestructive read out ferroelectric random access memory (NDRO- FRAM). The SBN thin films were deposited by co-sputtering method with Sr$_2$Nb$_2$O$_{7}$ (SNO) and Bi$_2$O$_3$ ceramic targets. The SBN thin films deposited at room temperature were annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ for 1hr in $O_2$ ambient. The structural and electrical properties of SBN with different power ratios of targets were measured by x-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), capacitance-voltage(C-V), and current-voltage(I-V). The C-V curves of the SBN films showed hysteresis curves of a clockwise rotation showing ferroelectricity. When the Power ratio of the SNO/Bi$_2$O$_3$ targets was 120 W/100 W, the SBN thin films had excellent electrical properties. The memory window of SBN thin film was 1.8 V-6.3 V at applied voltage of 3 V-9 V and the leakage current density was 1.5 $\times$ 10$^{-7}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at applied voltage of 5 V The composition of SBN thin films was analysed by electron probe X-ray micro analyzer(EPMA) and the atomic ratio of Sr:Bi:Nb with pawer ratio of 120 W/100 W was 1:3:2.

Different orientated SBN thin films were deposited by Ion Beam Sputtering, and electric properties were measured on each orientation. Ferroelectric $Sr_xBa_{1-x}Nb_2O_6$(SBN) has excellent electro-optic, photo-refractive, piezoelectric, pyroelectric properties. SBN thin film has been deposited by various method, of sol-gel, PLD, CVD, sputtering, etc.. To avoid lead pollution of Pb-system perovskite ferroelectric materials. SBN thin films were fabricated for pyroelectric IR sensor. Using the ceramic target of the same composition and Pt(100)/$TiO_2/SiO-2$/Si(100) substrate, crystallization and orientation behavior as well as electric properties of the films were examined. Seed layer and thin films thickness was controlled to observe the effect on preferred orientation. We measured I-V, C-V, P-E hysteresis to characterize electric-properties on each orientations.
