    摘要: A precursor for forming an aluminum oxide film comprises a liquid solution of an aluminum organic precursor compound in an organic solvent. In a second embodiment, the precursor comprises a suspension of aluminum oxide powder in a solution of an aluminum organic precursor compound. A precursor according to the invention is deposited on a substrate by dipping, rolling, spraying, misted deposition, spin on deposition, or chemical vapor deposition then heated to fabricate transparent aluminum oxide films. The electronic properties of the aluminum oxide films may be improved by depositing a plurality of layers of the precursor and annealing the precursor between layers.

    摘要: A liquid precursor for forming a transparent metal oxide thin film comprises a first organic precursor compound. In one embodiment, the liquid precursor is for making a conductive thin film. In this embodiment, the liquid precursor contains a first metal from the group including tin, antimony, and indium dissolved in an organic solvent. The liquid precursor preferably comprises a second organic precursor compound containing a second metal from the same group. Also, the liquid precursor preferably comprises an organic dopant precursor compound containing a metal selected from the group including niobium, tantalum, bismuth, cerium, yttrium, titanium, zirconium, hafnium, silicon, aluminum, zinc and magnesium. Liquid precursors containing a plurality of metals have a longer shelf life. The addition of an organic dopant precursor compound containing a metal, such as niobium, tantalum or bismuth, to the liquid precursor enhances control of the conductivity of the resulting transparent conductor. In a second embodiment, a liquid precursor for forming a transparent metal oxide nonconductive thin film comprises an organic precursor compound containing a metal from the group including cerium, yttrium, titanium, zirconium, hafnium, silicon, aluminum, niobium, tantalum, and bismuth. Liquid precursors of the invention preferably comprise a metal organic precursor compound, such as an ethylhexanoate, an octanoate, or a neodecanoate, dissolved in a solvent, such as xylenes, n-octane and n-butyl acetate.

    摘要: A hydrogen diffusion barrier in an integrated circuit is located to inhibit diffusion of hydrogen to a thin film of a metal oxide, such as a ferroelectric layered superlattice material, in an integrated circuit. The hydrogen diffusion barrier comprises at least one of the following chemical compounds: strontium tantalate, bismuth tantalate, tantalum oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide and aluminum oxide. The hydrogen barrier layer is amorphous and is made by a MOCVD process at a temperature of 450° C. or less. A supplemental hydrogen barrier layer comprising a material selected from the group consisting of silicon nitride and a crystalline form of one of said hydrogen barrier layer materials is formed adjacent to said hydrogen diffusion barrier.
