Patent ID: 7994590

Claim:
An electrical device, comprising: a crystalline-oxide-containing composition disposed on a surface of a substrate, the crystalline-oxide-containing composition comprising a plurality of substantially linear orientations of oxide anions or a plurality of substantially planar orientations of oxide anions, wherein the plurality of substantially linear orientations of oxide anions or substantially planar orientations of oxide anions are substantially normal to the surface of the substrate, wherein the crystalline-oxide-containing composition has a dielectric constant greater than about 3.9 in a direction substantially normal to the surface of the substrate, and wherein each one of the plurality of substantially linear orientations of oxide anions or substantially planar orientations of oxide anions does not substantially interact with another one of the plurality of substantially linear orientations of oxide anions or substantially planar orientations of oxide anions with the result being that the dielectric constant of the crystalline-oxide-containing composition is not decreased in a direction substantially normal to the surface of the substrate.
