A CVD process for barium strontium titanate (BST) was developed to pro
duce conformal thin films for 1-Gbit DRAMs. The process uses metal-org
anic precursors, liquid delivery, and point-of-use flash vaporization
to obtain reproducible film stoichiometry. Good electrical results wer
e achieved, including high storage density and low leakage currents at
1-Gbit DRAM operating voltages and temperatures. The process is both
reproducible and robust.
