$SrBi_{2x}Ta_2O_9$ (SBT) thin films were prepared on platinized silicon substrates by MOD process, and their ferroelectric and leakage current characteristics were investigated. The grain size of the MOD derived SBT films increased with increasing the BI/Ta mole ration. Although the SBT films with x of 0.8~1.2 were composed of the equiaxed grains, the elongated grains were also observed for the SBT films with x of 1.4 and 1.6. The SBT film with x of 1.2 exhibited the optimum ferroelectric properties of 2PR : 9.79 $muC/ extrm{cm}^2$ and Ec : 24.2kV/cm at applied voltage of 5V. The leakage current density of the SBT films increased with increasing the BI/Ta mole ratio. With post annealing process, 2Pr and $E_c$of the SBT film with x of 1.2 increases 11.3 $muC/ extrm{cm}^2$ and 39.6kV/cm, respectively. decrement of the leakage current density by post annealing process increased remarkably with increasing the Bi/ta mole ratio, and the SBT film with x=1.6 exhibited the lowest leakage current density after post annealing process.
