1. An MOCVD process of making a nonvolatile random access memory component comprising:
- (a) forming by MOCVD a first subassembly on a first substrate;
(b) depositing by MOCVD a smooth conductive layer of a noble metal on said first substrate;
(c) depositing by MOCVD a ferroelectric material on said smooth conductive layer;
(d) forming MOCVD a second subassembly on a second substrate, said first substrate and said second substrate being formed of the same material;
(e) depositing by MOCVD an integrated circuit on said second substrate;
(f) forming a plurality of electrical contacts on said integrated circuit; and
(c) connecting said two subassemblies by placing one on top of the other such that said electrical contacts abut said layer of ferroelectric material.

Abstract
An improved process of making a ferroelectric electronic component, such as a non-volatile RAM or an electro-optic switching array, is disclosed. The process essentially includes the separate formation of two subassemblies and then connecting them by placing one on top of the other. Electrical contacts are made by "bumping" or other "flip chip" techniques.
