Patent ID: 6936513

Claim:
A method of forming a capacitor, comprising: forming a first conductive capacitor electrode layer over a substrate, the first electrode layer having an outer surface comprising a noble metal in at least one of elemental and alloy forms: feeding a gaseous mixture comprising a metallorganic deposition precursor and an organic solvent to the outer surface under conditions effective to deposit a capacitor dielectric layer onto the outer surface; forming a second conductive capacitor electrode layer over the capacitor dielectric layer; the conditions comprise chemical vapor deposition; the capacitor dielectric layer comprises an oxide having a dielectric constant k greater than 5:0; the organic solvent is present in the gaseous mixture at from 1% to 10% by weight of a sum of the organic solvent and metallorganic precursor; and the organic solvent comprises at least one of an alcohol, a ketone, an aldehyde, an alkyl, an alkene, an ether, an amine, and an amide.
