ABSTRACT:
A multi-layered unit according to the present invention includes a support substrate formed of fused quartz, an electrode layer formed on the support substrate, made of BSCCO (bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide) having a stoichiometric composition represented by Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8, having an anisotropic property and conductivity and enabling epitaxial growth of a dielectric material containing a bismuth layer structured compound thereon and oriented in the c axis direction, and a dielectric layer formed by epitaxially growing a dielectric material containing a bismuth layer structured compound having a composition represented by SrBi4Ti4O15on the electrode layer. Since the thus constituted multi-layered unit includes the dielectric layer containing the bismuth layer structured compound oriented in the c axis direction, in the case of, for example, providing an upper electrode on the dielectric layer to form a thin film capacitor and applying a voltage between the electrode layer and the upper electrode, the direction of the electric field substantially coincides with the c axis of the bismuth layer structured compound. As a result, since the ferroelectric property of the bismuth layer structured compound contained in the dielectric layer can be suppressed and the paraelectric property thereof can be fully exhibited, it is possible to fabricate a thin film capacitor having a small size and large capacitance.
