Abstract

Chemical solution deposition has been used to fabricate continuous ultrathin lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT) films as thin as 20 nm. Further, multilayer capacitor structures with as many as 10 dielectric layers have been fabricated from these ultrathin PLZT films by alternating spin-coated dielectric layers with sputtered platinum electrodes. Integrating a photolithographically defined wet etch step to the fabrication process enabled the production of functional multilayer stacks with capacitance values exceeding 600 nF. Such ultrathin multilayer capacitors offer tremendous advantages for further miniaturization of integrated passive components.
