ABSTRACT:
Electronic apparatus and methods of forming the electronic apparatus include a conductive layer having a layer of ruthenium in contact with a lanthanide oxide dielectric layer for use in a variety of electronic systems. The lanthanide oxide dielectric layer and the layer of ruthenium may be structured as one or more monolayers. The lanthanide oxide dielectric layer and the layer of ruthenium may be formed by atomic layer deposition.
