Embodiments of the disclosure generally provide methods of forming a hybrid film stack that may be used as a capacitor layer or a gate insulating layer with a high dielectric constant as well as film qualities for display applications. In one embodiment, a thin film transistor structure include gate, source and drain electrodes formed on a substrate, and an insulating layer formed on a substrate, wherein the insulating layer is a hybrid film stack having a dielectric layer comprising a zirconium containing material disposed on an interface layer formed above or below the gate, source and drain electrodes.
