Abstract

A capacitor (100) with a high dielectric constant oxide dielectric (102) plus Ir- or Ir and Rh bond over the oxygen site in Barium strontium titanate (BST) dielectric to achieve the high Schottky barrier, and very thin layers of Ir or Rh with conductive oxide backing layers (106, 116) provide oxygen depletion deterrence. Rh-containing capacitor plates (104, 114) yielding high Schottky barrier interfaces.
