EXPERIMENTAL
At the first experiment, an iron precursor was fixed at Fe(IBPM)3 and bis-
muth precursors were varied. The precursor solutions were prepared by mixing
bismuth and iron precursors with a molar ratio of 1:1 and dissolving them in
toluene.
The dependences of the deposition rates of bismuth and iron on substrate
temperatures were shown in Fig. 2. Regarding the deposition rate of iron, re-
markable dependence was not observed on the substrate temperatures and on
kinds of bismuth precursors. The deposition rate of bismuth from Bi(p-Tol)3
increased more gently than that from Bi(o-Tol)3 by raising substrate temper-
ature. This phenomenon was presumably caused by the difference of thermal
decomposition temperature of the precursors. It is difficult to control the metal
composition in films in the case of using the precursor which has steep increase
of deposition rate by raising substrate temperature. Therefore, a bismuth pre-
cursor was fixed at Bi(p-Tol)3 in the second experiment and iron precursors
were varied.
The dependences of the deposition rates of bismuth and iron on substrate
temperatures were shown in Figs. 3–5. In the case of using iron cyclopentadi-
enydes as iron precursors, iron was little deposited in films as shown in Fig. 3.
At the substrate temperature of more than 550◦ C, the deposition rate of iron
increased but that of bismuth transiently decreased at 575◦ C. It is presumed that

using the precursor solution with the molar ratio of Bi(p-Tol)3 :Fe(IBPM)3 =
1:1 included excess bismuth. Figure 6 shows the XRD patterns of the films
obtained at 500, 525 and 550◦ C by using the precursor solution. BiFeO3 phase
was observed in any film. Bi2 O3 phase was also observed at 550◦ C. It is thought
that increase of the deposition rate of bismuth by raising substrate temperature
generated this secondary phase. Figure 7 shows the P-E hysteresis loop of the
100nm-thick film fabricated at 525◦ C. Though the value of remnant polarization
was very small, it was confirmed that the BiFeO3 film had ferroelectricity.
