Abstract

SrBi4Ti4O15 (SBTi), SrBi3.89La0.1Ti3.97V0.03O15 (SBLTV) thin films have been fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si by the sol–gel method. Well-saturated hysteresis loops with remnant polarization around 46.7 μC/cm2 are obtained on Pt/SBLTV/Pt capacitors. The capacitor shows excellent fatigue resistance with no polarization reduction up to 109 switching cycles even at low test frequency of 50 kHz. The improvement of ferroelectric and fatigue-endurance properties are attributed to the La3+ and V5+ co-substitution, which brings about the concentration decrease and the mobility weakening of the defects.
