Process Overview

This paper presents a process for depositing and patterning mixed-metal oxide thin films using photosensitive metallorganic precursors for microelectronic applications such as dielectric layers and integrated capacitors. The precursor solution was prepared from Ba(2-ethylhexanoate), Sr(2-ethylhexanoate), and Ti(diisopropoxide) bis(acetylacetonate) in methyl isobutyl ketone, and films were prepared on single-side polished, 100 mm ⟨100⟩ n-type silicon wafers. The paper explicitly states that these films were coated by spin casting using a Cee® Model 100 CB Spin Coater and Bake Unit. It also notes that dielectric test structures were prepared by spin casting the BST precursor solution onto aluminum-coated wafers to produce films approximately 800 nm thick.
