The Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12 (BNT) thin films were deposited on Pt(111)/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by using RF-magnetron sputtering method and studied the ferroelectric and leakage current charateristics. The polarization - electric field (P-E) hysteresis loops of BNT film was well saturated with the remnant polarization (2P(r)) of 29.8 mu C/cm(2) and a coercive field (2E(c)) of 121 kV/cm. The leakage current density - electric field (J-E) characteristics of the Pt/BNT/Pt capacitor reveals the presence of two conduction region, having Ohmic behavior at low electric field (below 50 kV/cm) and Schottky-emission or Poole-Frenkel emission at high electric field (above 60 kV/cm). The barrier height and trapped level of BNT films are estimated to be 1.11 eV and 0.90 eV, respectively.
