A dielectric layer containing an atomic layer deposited titanium silicon
oxide film disposed in an integrated circuit and a method of fabricating
such a dielectric layer provide a dielectric layer for use in a variety
of electronic devices. Embodiments include forming titanium silicates
and/or mixtures of titanium oxide and silicon oxides as dielectric layers
in devices in an integrated circuit. In an embodiment, a titanium silicon
oxide film is formed by depositing titanium oxide by atomic layer
deposition and silicon oxide by atomic layer deposition onto a substrate
surface. Embodiments include structures for capacitors, transistors,
memory devices, and electronic systems with dielectric layers containing
an atomic layer deposited titanium silicon oxide film, and methods for
forming such structures.
