Abstract

A system that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a fabricated thin film capacitor formed by depositing a first dielectric layer on a first electrode layer utilizing a first process that is performed at a first temperature, depositing a second dielectric layer on the first dielectric layer utilizing a second process that forms a randomly-oriented grain structure for the second dielectric layer, depositing a third dielectric layer on the second dielectric layer utilizing a third process that is performed at a second temperature and that forms a columnar-oriented grain structure for the third dielectric layer where the second temperature is higher than the first temperature, and depositing a second electrode layer on the third dielectric layer to form the thin film capacitor. Other embodiments are disclosed.
