    摘要: An integrated circuit capacitor containing a thin film delectric metal oxide is formed above a silicon germanium substrate. A silicon nitride diffusion barrier layer is deposited on a silicon germanium substrate to prevent evaporation of the substrate in subsequent heating steps. A silicon dioxide stress reduction layer is deposited on the diffusion barrier layer. A bottom electrode is formed on the stress reduction layer, then a liquid precursor is spun on the bottom electrode, dried at about 400° C., and annealed at between 600° C. and 850° C. to form a BST capacitor dielectric. A top electrode is deposited on the dielectric and annealed. The integrated circuit may also include a BiCMOS device, a HBT device or a MOSFET.

    摘要: A liquid primer is misted, flowed into a deposition chamber and deposited on a substrate. A liquid precursor is then misted, flowed into a deposition chamber and deposited on the substrate. The primer and precursor are dried to form a solid thin film, which is then annealed to form a part of an electronic component in an integrated circuit, such as the dielectric in a memory cell. The primer is a solvent, and the precursor includes a metal carboxylate, a metal alkoxide, or a metal alkoxycarboxylate in a precursor solvent. Preferably, the primer and the precursor solvent are the same solvent, such as 2-methoxyethanol, xylenes, or n-butyl acetate.

    摘要: A thin film of precursor for forming a layered superlattice material is applied to an integrated circuit substrate, then a strong oxidizing agent is applied at low temperature in a range of from 100° C. to 300° C. to the precursor thin film, thereby forming a metal oxide thin film. The strong oxidizing agent may be liquid or gaseous. An example of a liquid strong oxidizing agent is hydrogen peroxide. An example of a gaseous strong oxidizing agent is ozone. The metal oxide thin film is crystallized by annealing at elevated temperature in a range of from 500° C. to 700° C., preferably not exceeding 650° C., for a time period in a range of from 30 minutes to two hours. Annealing is conducted in an oxygen-containing atmosphere, preferably including water vapor. Treatment by ultraviolet (UV) radiation may precede annealing. RTP in a range of from 500° C. to 700° C. may precede annealing.

    摘要: A thin film of ferroelectric layered superlattice material in a flat panel display device is energized to selectively influence the display image. In one embodiment, a voltage pulse causes the layered superlattice material to emit electrons that impinge upon a phosphor, causing the phosphor to emit light. In another embodiment, an electric potential creates a remanent polarization in the layered superlattice material, which exerts an electric field in liquid crystal layer, thereby influencing the transmissivity of light through the liquid crystal. The layered superlattice material is a metal oxide formed using an inventive liquid precursor containing an alkoxycarboxylate. The thin film thickness is preferably in the range 50-140 nm, so that polarizabilty and transparency of the thin film is enhanced. A display element may comprise a varistor device to prevent cross-talk between pixels and to enable sudden polarization switching. A functional gradient in the ferroelectric thin film enhances electron emission. Two ferroelectric elements, one on either side of the phosphor may be used to enhance luminescence. A phosphor can be sandwiched between a dielectric and a ferroelectric to enhance emission.
