ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device and process for making the same are disclosed which incorporate boron, which has been found to be substantially insoluble in BST, into a BST dielectric film 24. Dielectric film 24 is preferably disposed between electrodes 18 and 26 (which preferably have a Pt layer contacting the BST) to form a capacitive structure with a relatively high dielectric constant and relatively low leakage current. Boron included in a BST precursor may be used to form boron oxide in a second phase 30, which is distributed in boundary regions between BST crystals 28 in film 24. It is believed that the inclusion of boron allows for BST grains of a desired size to be formed at lower temperature, and also reduces the leakage current of the capacitive structure.
