Chemical vapor deposition methods of forming barium strontium titanate comprising dielectric layers, including such layers having a varied concentration of barium and strontium within the layer
First Claim
1. A chemical vapor deposition method of forming a barium strontium titanate-comprising dielectric layer having a varied concentration of barium and strontium within the layer, comprising:
- providing a substrate within a chemical vapor deposition reactor;
providing barium and strontium within the reactor by flowing at least one metal organic precursor to the reactor, and providing titanium within the reactor, and flowing a constant composition oxidizer stream to the reactor, under conditions effective to deposit a barium strontium titanate-comprising dielectric layer on the substrate;
the barium and strontium being provided within the reactor during all of the deposit of said layer at a substantially constant atomic ratio of barium to strontium; and
during said deposit, changing a rate of flow of the constant composition oxidizer stream to the reactor at least once to effect a change in relative atomic concentration of barium to strontium within the deposited barium strontium titanate-comprising dielectric layer.

Abstract
The invention includes a chemical vapor deposition method of forming a barium strontium titanate comprising dielectric layer having a varied concentration of barium and strontium, and/or titanium, within the layer. A substrate is positioned within a chemical vapor deposition reactor. Barium and strontium are provided within the reactor by flowing at least one metal organic precursor to the reactor. Titanium is provided within the reactor. One or more oxidizers are flowed to the reactor. In one aspect, conditions are provided within the reactor to be effective to deposit a barium strontium titanate comprising dielectric layer on the substrate from the reactants.
