Abstract:
An oxide layer 30 according to the invention consists of bismuth (Bi) and niobium (Nb) (possibly including inevitable impurities). The oxide layer 30 also includes crystal phases of a pyrochlore crystal structure. The obtained oxide layer 30 includes oxide consisting of bismuth (Bi) and niobium (Nb) and has high permittivity that has never been achieved in the conventional technique.
Abstract:
The invention provides a dielectric layer having high relative permittivity with low leakage current and excellent flatness. A dielectric layer 30a according to the invention is made of multilayer oxide including a first oxide layer 31 made of oxide consisting of bismuth (Bi) and niobium (Nb) or oxide consisting of bismuth (Bi), zinc (Zn), and niobium (Nb) (possibly including inevitable impurities) and a second oxide layer 32 made of oxide of one type (possibly including inevitable impurities) selected from the group of oxide consisting of lanthanum (La) and tantalum (Ta), oxide consisting of lanthanum (La) and zirconium (Zr), and oxide consisting of strontium (Sr) and tantalum (Ta).
