Patent 7303985 was granted and assigned to Intel on December, 2007 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A method for forming a zeolite-carbon doped oxide (CDO) composite dielectric material is herein described. Zeolite particles may be dispersed in a solvent. The zeolite solvent solution may then be deposited on an underlying layer, such as a wafer of other dielectric layer. At least some solvent may then be removed to form a zeolite film. A CDO may then be deposited in the zeolite film to form a zeolite-CDO composite film/dielectric. The zeolite-CDO composite film/dielectric may then be calcinated to form a solid phase zeolite-CDO composite dilectric.
