Abstract

See full text

The present applicants have discovered a method for making thin films comprising tantalum oxide that enhances the dielectric constant with or without TiO.sub.2 doping. Specifically, applicants have discovered sputtering Ta.sub.2 O.sub.5 in an oxygen-rich ambient at a temperature in excess of 450.degree. C. and preferably in excess of 550.degree. C., produces a new crystalline phase thin film having enhanced dielectric properties.
