Sol-gel-derived ferroelectric thin films can offer particular promise for various microelectronic applications, including FRAM, DRAM elements, thin-film capacitors and pyroelectric IR sensors. In this article, recent progress in the sol-gel processing of two typical ferroelectric thin-film systems is briefly reviewed. These are lead zirconate titanate (PZT) solid solution and Pb(Mg{sub 1/3}Nb{sub 2/3})O{sub 3}-based relaxor ferroelectrics. Several examples of the sol chemistry-structures/ferroelectric properties relationships are illustrated using various recent data, including results from the authors` laboratory.
