It is an object to provide a liquid composition for forming a thin film,
with which a ferroelectric thin film having excellent characteristics can
be prepared even by baking at a low temperature, and a process for
producing a ferroelectric thin film using it. The above object is
achieved by use of a liquid composition for forming a ferroelectric thin
film, characterized in that in a liquid medium, ferroelectric oxide
particles being plate or needle crystals, which are represented by the
formula ABO3 (wherein A is at least one member selected from the group
consisting of Ba.sup.2+, Sr.sup.2+, Ca.sup.2+, Pb.sup.2+, La.sup.3+,
K.sup.+ and Na.sup.+, and B is at least one member selected from the
group consisting of Ti.sup.4+, Zr.sup.4+, Nb.sup.5+, Ta.sup.5+ and
Fe.sup.3+) and have a Perovskite structure and which have an average
primary particle size of at most 100 nm and an aspect ratio of at least
2, are dispersed, and a soluble metal compound which forms a
ferroelectric oxide by heating, is dissolved.
