A dielectric thin film 8, comprising a first bismuth layer-structured
compound layer 8a expressed by a composition formula of
(Bi.sub.2O.sub.2).sup.2+(A.sub.m-1 B.sub.m O.sub.3m+1).sup.2- or Bi.sub.2
A.sub.m-1 B.sub.m O.sub.3m+3, wherein "m" is a positive number, "A" is at
least one element selected from Na, K, Pb, Ba, Sr, Ca and Bi, and "B" is
at least one element selected from Fe, Co, Cr, Ga, Ti, Nb, Ta, Sb, V, Mo
and W. Between the first bismuth layer-structured compound layer 8a and a
lower portion electrode 6, a second bismuth layer-structured compound
layer 8b including bismuth in excess of that in the composition formula
of said first bismuth layer-structured compound layer 8a.
