Patent ID: 7972974

Claim:
A method comprising: forming multiple gallium lanthanide oxide films in a nanolaminate structure, at least some gallium lanthanide oxide films being separated from each other by gallium oxide or lanthanide oxide layers, on a substrate, including forming each gallium lanthanide oxide film using atomic layer deposition including: forming a lanthanide oxide by one or more cycles of atomic layer deposition without gallium in the cycles; forming a gallium oxide by one or more cycles of atomic layer deposition without lanthanide in the cycles; annealing the formed lanthanide oxide with the formed gallium oxide to form the gallium lanthanide oxide; and controlling parameters for forming the lanthanide oxide, parameters for forming the gallium oxide, and parameters for annealing the formed lanthanide oxide with the formed gallium oxide, selectively forming the gallium lanthanide oxide as one of mixture GaO x (LnO y ) with x>0 and y>0 or compound Ga m Ln n O p with m>0, n>0, and p>0 by the annealing of the formed lanthanide oxide with the formed gallium oxide.
