Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a ferroelectric element having excellent properties, which includes a monocrystalline film of γ-Al2O3 formed as a buffer layer on a silicon substrate. The monocrystalline γ-Al2O film is formed on the silicon substrate which is the lowermost layer of an MFMIS structure. On the monocrystalline γ-Al2O3 film, there is formed an electrically conductive oxide in the form of a LaNiO3 film as a lower electrode. On the LaNiO3 film, there is formed a PZT thin film which is a ferroelectric material. On the PZT thin film, there is formed a Pt film as an upper electrode.
