ABSTRACT:
The invention described is an improved dielectric material formed as a film on the surface of a substrate by adding lead to an original perovskite material having an original critical grain size to form a lead enhanced perovskite material, then forming a layer of the lead enhanced perovskite material having an average grain size less than the original critical grain size whereby the dielectric constant of the layer is substantially greater than the dielectric constant of the original perovskite material with an average grain size similar to the average grain size of the layer. The critical grain size, as used herein, means the largest grain size such that the dielectric constant starts to rapidly decrease with decreasing grain sizes. Preferably, the lead enhanced perovskite material is further doped with one or more acceptor dopants whereby the resistivity is substantially increased and/or the loss tangent is substantially decreased. Preferably, the original perovskite material has a chemical composition ABO.sub.3, where A is one or more monovalent, divalent or trivalent elements, and B is one or more pentavalent, tetravalent, trivalent or divalent elements.
