We have constructed Bi based layer structured ferroelectric films and their superlattices by a pulsed laser deposition technique. The dielectric constants along c-axis increase with increasing of the number of pseudo-perovskite layers between double Bi2O2 layers. Ferroelectricity appears along the c-axis direction only for the odd number of the perovskite layers owing to the mirror symmetry in a crystal structure. Especially, the Bi2VO5. 5 film shows an atomically flat surface, low dielectric constant of 30 and ferroelectricity of Pr=3 µC/cm2 and Ec=16 kV/cm, respectively. This material is expected to the application for FRAMs.
