A ferroelectric film wherein 5 to 40 mol % in total of at least one of Nb,
V, and W is included in the B site of a Pb(Zr,Ti)O.sub.3 ferroelectric
which includes at least four-fold coordinated Si.sup.4+ or Ge.sup.4+ in
the A site ion of a ferroelectric perovskite material in an amount of 1%
or more. This enables to significantly improve reliability of the
ferroelectric film.
