ABSTRACT:
A metal oxide layer may made more highly oxidized by exposing the layer to sulfur trioxide. The leakage current of the layer may thereby be decreased, providing a capacitor containing such a layer with improved performance properties. The capacitor may be incorporated into a dynamic random access memory cell or other structure useful in the semiconductor or other industry.
