Abstract

A method for forming a high-k oxide includes forming a nanofog of AlOnanoparticles and conducting subsequent ALD deposition of a dielectric on the nanofog. A nanofog oxide is adhered to an inert 2D or 3D surface, the nano oxide consisting essentially of sub 1 nm AlOnanoparticles. Additional oxide layers can be formed on the nanofog. Examples are from the group of selected from the group consisting of ZrO, HfZrO, silicon or other doped HfOor ZrO, ZrTiO, HfTiO, LaO3, YO, GaO, GdGaOx, and alloys thereof, including the ferroelectric phases of HfZrO, silicon or other doped HfOor ZrO.
