PbTiO3 thin films were prepared by sol-gel spin coating method using metal alkoxide and diethanolamine (DEA). The precipitation of the PbTiO3 sol occurred at pH 7.3 with HNO3 addition, regardless of the amount of DEA. The gelation time of the PbTiO3 sol was reduced with increasing amount of HNO3 and/or water. When the PbTiO3 films prepared by 0.2 molar coating solution were annealed at $650^{circ}C$ for 30 min, dense and single phase perovskite films were obtained. Dielectric constant and loss tangent of the film were 239 and 0.01 at 1 kHz, respectively.
