Patent number: 5612082Abstract: Metals are reacted in a first solvent, such as 2-methoxyethanol, to form an initial precursor comprising metal-oxide compounds dissolved in the first solvent. A second solvent, such as xylene, that does not react with the metal is added to the solution and the solution heated to distill away the first solvent and form a final precursor. The final precursor is spin-coated on an integrated circuit substrate then dried and annealed to form a thin film of a metal oxide. For metal oxides including bismuth, the bismuth precursor is added to a cold initial precursor and the final precursor is not heated after the bismuth precursor is added.

Patent number: 5559260Abstract: A precursor is made by mixing a metal alkoxycarboxylate-containing liquid with a 2-ethylhexanoic acid in an effective amount for shelf-stabilizing said liquid by substituting 2-ethylhexanoate ligands for alkoxide ligands, thereby forming a mixture, and heating said mixture to substitute said carboxylate ligands for said alkoxide ligands. Specficially, a barium strontium titanate precursor and a strontium bismuth tantalate precursor are made by combining polyoxyalkylated metal moieties to form a liquid solution in which the metal atoms bond with an oxygen atom in a ligand selected from a ligand group consisting of alkoxides and carboxylates, then then heating the liquid solution.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: September 24, 1996Assignee: Symetrix CorporationInventors: Michael C. Scott, Carlos A. Paz de Araujo, Larry D. McMillan
