The ferrolectric domain structure of the PbTiO <sub>3</sub> layer is examined at various length scales using optical second harmonic generation, piezoresponse force microscopy, and scanning transmission electron microscopy. These methods reveal the presence of purely in‐plane domains organized into superdomains at the crest of the ripples, while an in‐plane/out‐of‐plane domain structure is observed in the flat regions separating the ripples, in agreement with phase‐field simulations. The mechanical properties of the membranes are assessed using contact resonance force microscopy, which identifies a distinct mechanical behavior at the ripples compared to the flat regions. This study shows that the physical properties of the ferroelectric layer in membranes can be locally controlled within an ordered array of ripples with well‐defined geometric characteristics.
