The ferroelectric properties of perpendicularly oriented, highly crystalline vinylidene fluoride (VDF) oligomer thin films were investigated by using a planar device configuration consisting of comblike Cr–Au electrodes with a 1 µm gap. In-plane polarization switching was induced by the rotation of the VDF oligomer. As the measurement temperature was increased from 295 to 380 K, the coercive field (E<inf>c</inf>) decreased drastically from 124 to 7.7 MV/m. Furthermore, the thermal stability of our device significantly improved compared with that of conventional sandwiched devices utilizing VDF oligomer films with a parallel orientation.
