Abstract
A process of forming an integrated circuit containing a piezoelectric thin film by forming a sol gel layer, drying in at least 1 percent relative humidity, baking starting between 100 and 225° C. increasing to between 275 and 425° C. over at least 2 minutes, and forming the piezoelectric thin film by baking the sol gel layer between 250 and 350° C. for at least 20 seconds, annealing between 650 and 750° C. for at least 60 seconds in an oxidizing ambient pressure between 700 and 1000 torr and a flow rate between 3 and 7 slm, followed by annealing between 650 and 750° C. for at least 20 seconds in a pressure between 4 and 10 torr and a flow rate of at least 5 slm, followed by ramping down the temperature.
