Abstract

To provide a dielectric thin with a high dielectric constant, a low leakage current, and stable physical properties and electrical properties and to provide a thin film capacitor or other thin film dielectric device with a high capacitance and high reliability and a method of production of the same, a dielectric thin film containing oxides such as barium strontium titanate expressed by the formula (BaxSr(1-x))aTiO3 (0.5<x≦1.0, 0.96<a≦1.00) and having a thickness of not more than 500 nm and a method of production of a thin film dielectric device including a step of annealing the dielectric thin film in an atmosphere of an oxidizing gas after forming a dielectric thin film on a conductive electrode.
