1. A method of forming a thin film layer through an atomic layer deposition process, comprising:
- introducing a first reacting material including a tantalum precursor and a titanium precursor to a substrate to chemisorb a portion of the first reacting material onto the substrate; and
introducing a second reacting material including oxygen to the substrate to chemisorb a portion of the second reacting materials onto the substrate and to form a solid material thereon.

Abstract
A thin film is formed using an atomic layer deposition process, by introducing a first reacting material including tantalum precursors and titanium precursors onto a substrate. A portion of the first reacting material is chemisorbed onto the substrate. Then, a second reacting material including oxygen is introduced onto the substrate. A portion of the second reacting material is also chemisorbed onto the substrate, to form an atomic layer of a solid material on the substrate. The solid material may be used as a dielectric layer of the capacitor and/or a gate dielectric layer of the transistor.
