Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3(BST)/Bi1.5Zn1.0Nb1.5O7(BZN) multilayer thin films were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by a sol–gel method. The structures and morphologies of BST/BZN multilayer thin films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscope. The XRD results showed that the perovskite BST and the cubic pyrochlore BZN phases can be observed in the multilayer thin films annealed at 700 °C and 750 °C. The surface of the multilayer thin films annealed at 750 °C was smooth and crack-free. The BST/BZN multilayer thin films annealed at 750 °C exhibited a medium dielectric constant of around 147, a low loss tangent of 0.0034, and a relative tunability of 12% measured with dc bias field of 580 kV/cm at 10 kHz.
