Abstract:
A method of fabricating a low leakage current, thin-film metal oxide electrical component, said method comprising the steps of:providing a substrate and a liquid precursor containing a plurality of metal moieties in effective amounts for yielding a metal oxide layered superlattice material upon annealing of said precursor,applying said liquid precursor onto said substrate to form a liquid thin film on said substrate;drying by heating said liquid thin film on said substrate under conditions sufficient to form a dried metal oxide layered superlattice material thin film; andduring said drying step, exposing said liquid thin film to an ultraviolet radiation source having an intensity sufficient to increase the c-axis orientation in said metal oxide layered superlattice material thin film; and thereafterannealing said dried metal oxide layered superlattice material thin-film to yield said metal oxide layered superlattice thin film.
