Patent ID: 7759237

Claim:
A method of forming a dielectric structure, comprising: forming one or more lutetium oxide monolayers one monolayer at a time, wherein each lutetium oxide monolayer is formed by depositing a monolayer including lutetium and oxidizing the monolayer; forming a plurality of lanthanum aluminum oxide nanocrystals over the one or more oxidized monolayers, including: depositing at least one monolayer including lanthanum; depositing at least one monolayer including aluminum; processing the lanthanum and aluminum monolayers to form lanthanum aluminum oxide crystals; and forming a layer over the lanthanum aluminum oxide crystals, by depositing one or more lutetium oxide monolayers one monolayer at a time, wherein each lutetium oxide monolayer is formed by depositing a monolayer including lutetium and oxidizing the monolayer.
