In this study, the reduce of plasma etching damage in PZT thin film with addictive gas and re-annealing after etching have been investigated. The PZT thin films were etched as a function of $Cl_2/CF_4$ with addition of Ar and $O_2$ with inductively coupled plasma. The etch rates of PZT thin films were 1450 ${AA}/min$ at 30% additive Ar and 1100 ${AA}/min$ at 10% auditive $O_2$ into $Cl_2/CF_4$ gas mixing ratio of 8/2. In order to reduce plasma damage of PZT thin films after etching, the etched PZT thin films were re-annealed at various temperatures at $O_2$ atmosphere. From the hysteresis curries, the ferroelectric properties are improved by $O_2$ re-annealing process. The improvement of ferroelectric behavior at annealed PZT films is consistent wish the increase of the (100) and (200) PZT peaks revealed by x-ray diffraction (XRD). From x ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, the intensity of Pb-O, Zr-O and Ti-O peak are increased and the chemical residue peak is reduced by $O_2$ re-annealing. The ferroelectric behavior consistent with the dielectric nature of $Ti_xO_y$ is recovered by $O_2$ recombination during rapid thermal annealing process.
