Abstract
After an SBT layer is precipitated onto a substrate, the SBT layer is structured as a still amorphous layer. Only subsequently is it subjected to a crystallization process. Layers produced in this manner have a relatively high degree of dielectric strength and have no stoichiometric deviations on the etched edges.
Claims4
A method of fabricating a patterned metal-oxide-containing layer, which comprises the following method steps:
- providing a substrate;
- applying a substantially amorphous metal-oxide-containing layer to the substrate;
- performing a nucleation process to form crystallization nuclei in the substantially amorphous metal-oxide-containing layer;
- patterning the substantially amorphous metal-oxide-containing layer;
- and
- subsequently thermally treating the metal-oxide-containing layer to form a substantially polycrystalline metal-oxide-containing layer.
