A method for forming a capacitor stack is described. In some embodiments of the present invention, a first dielectric material is formed above a first electrode material. The first electrode material is rigid and has good mechanical strength and serves as a robust frame for the capacitor stack. The first dielectric material is sufficiently thin (<2nm) or highly doped so that it remains amorphous after subsequent anneal treatments. A second dielectric material is formed above the first dielectric material. The second dielectric material is sufficiently thick (>3nm) or lightly doped or non-doped so that it crystallizes after subsequent anneal treatments. A second electrode material is formed adjacent to the second dielectric material. The second electrode material has a high work function and a crystal structure that serves to promote the formation of the high k-value crystal structure of the second dielectric material. |
