ABSTRACT:
A dielectric layer containing a hafnium tantalum oxide film and a method of fabricating such a dielectric layer produce a dielectric layer for use in a variety of electronic devices. Embodiments include structures for capacitors, transistors, memory devices, and electronic systems with dielectric layers containing a hafnium tantalum oxide film structured as one or more monolayers.
