ことが考えられている。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, SrBi 2 Ta 2 O 9 is known as a dielectric composition containing Sr, Bi and Ta. When this material is made into a thin film, there is little film fatigue that the polarization becomes small when repeating polarization inversion as seen in PZT. Therefore, by incorporating it in a semiconductor memory, it is applied to a non-volatile memory utilizing its hysteresis characteristics. It is thought to do.

The 20% Bi excess is to supplement the Bi content that diffuses or evaporates during the crystallization heat treatment. The substrate used (eg Pt / Ti / S
iO 2 / Si substrate, etc.), is performed once fired at a maximum temperature or above to be applied to up to completion of the film formation process before the formation. Further, the calcination temperature for obtaining the electrical characteristics satisfying the above characteristics is about 700 ° C.

Then, the temperature of the substrate heat treatment before film formation and the calcination temperature after film formation drying are high (that is, in order to obtain good electrical characteristics,
In each case, the temperature is about 700 to 800 ° C.), so that the thermal damage to the substrate is considerably large. For example, Pt / Ti / S
When an io 2 or Pt / Ta / SiO 2 substrate is baked at 800 ° C, the metallic luster of the surface is lost and Ta or Ti
And the surface is roughened by oxidation.
