  • Patent number: 6133051
    Abstract: A metal oxide ceramic layer is formed from an amorphous film. The metal oxide ceramic layer comprises, for example, a Bi-based oxide ceramic, The amorphous Bi-based metal oxide layer is annealed to transformed it into a ferroelectric layer. A lower thermal budget is needed to transform the amorphous Bi-based metal oxide ceramic into the ferroelectric phase.
