Method for fabricating a nonvolatile ferroelectric memory, is disclosed, which can prolong a life time of the memory, including the steps of forming an insulating film on a semiconductor substrate, forming a bottom electrode on the insulating film, forming a ferroelectric film on the bottom electrode, wherein the ferroelectric film is formed of a material containing zirconium oxide as a base composition, the material having an antiferroelectric phase which can not be induced to a ferroelectric phase by an electric field, and the induced ferroelectric phase exhibiting a hysteresis in polarization-electric field characteristic and unable to be induced to an antiferroelectric phase by an electric field, and forming a top electrode on the ferroelectric film.
