An integrated circuit memory, MMIC, or other device including a dielectric comprising lead-tin zirconium-titanium oxide (PSZT). The proportion of tin ranges from 30% to 50% of the total amount of tin, zirconium and titanium. The dielectric is formed by applying a first liquid precursor having 10% excess lead to a substrate and heating it to form a first PSZT thin film, applying a second liquid precursor having 5% excess lead to the first thin film and heating to form a second thin film, then applying the first liquid precursor and heating to form a third thin film, and annealing the three thin films together to form a PSZT dielectric layer. |
