  • Single crystal high dielectric constant material and method for making same
    Patent number: 9240283
    Abstract: The invention provides a stable oxide material system for a capacitor, electronic device or a memory device having an effective high-k value with an effective zero alpha while exhibiting low leakage current density. The stable oxide material comprises Mx-Si1-xO2, wherein the elements M & Si are mixed such that the insulator layer comprises staggered edge-linked SiO2-MO2 bonding chains to provide a stable 3-dimensional single crystal system.
    Type: Grant
