Pb(Zr{sub 0.52}Ti{sub 0.48})O{sub 3} (PZT) thin film on Pt/RuO{sub 2} double electrode was successfully prepared by using new alkoxide{endash}alkanolamine, sol-gel method. It was observed that the use of Pt/RuO{sub 2} double electrode reduced leakage current, resulting in a marked improvement in the leakage characteristics and more reliable capacitors. Typical P-E hysteresis behavior was observed even at low applied voltage of 5 V, manifesting greatly improved remanance and coercivity. Fatigue and breakdown characteristic, measured at 5 V, showed stable behavior and no degradation in polarization was observed up to 10{sup 11} cycles.{copyright} {ital 1997 Materials Research Society.}
