Apparatus and methods of forming the apparatus include a dielectric layer containing barium strontium titanium oxide layer, an erbium-doped barium strontium titanium oxide layer, or a combination thereof. Embodiments of methods of fabricating such dielectric layers provide dielectric layers for use in a variety of devices. Embodiments include forming barium strontium titanium oxide film using atomic layer deposition. Embodiments include forming erbium-doped barium strontium titanium oxide film using atomic layer deposition.
