  • Method for fabricating a thin film capacitor
    Patent number: 3969197
    Abstract: A process has been developed for fabricating a nonpolar low loss thin film capacitor utilizing tantalum oxide for high capacitance per unit area as a dielectric which is deposited in film form relative to a suitable substrate. A counter electrode is deposited on a substrate. A film of metal having a high recrystallization temperature is deposited on the counter electrode. This deposition forms the bottom electrode of the capacitor structure. The metal film has a quality thermal expansion resistance and a high reliability in thermal environments.
