  • Patent number: 6544857
    Abstract: In a process for manufacturing a dielectric capacitor, an IrO2 film, an Ir film, an amorphous film, and a Pt film-are sequentially made on a Si substrate. The SBT film may comprise BixSryTa2.0Oz, where the atomic composition ratio maybe within the range of 0≦Sr/Ti≦1.0, 0≦Ba/Ti≦1.0. The Pt film, the amorphous film, the Ir film, and the IrO2 film formed into a dielectric capacitor and the amorphous film is annealed to change its amorphous phase to a crystal phase of a perovskite type crystalline structure and thereby obtain the SBT film. The process may include a lower electrode made from an organic metal source material selected from a group consisting of Bi(C6H5)3, Bi(o-C7H7)3, Bi(O-C2H5)3, Bi(O-iC3H7)3, Bi(O- tC4H9)3, Bi(O-tC5H11)3, Sr(THD)2, Sr(THD)2 tetraglyme, Sr(Me5C5)2·2THF, Ti(i-OC3H7)4, TiO(THD)2, Ti(THD)2(i-OC3H7)2, Ta(i-OC3H7)5, Ta(iOC3H7)4THD, Nb(i-OC3H7)5, Nb(i- OC3H7)4THD.
