Zusammenfassung:Methods for forming a device structure including a high-k dielectric layer are disclosed. An exemplary method includes using a first cyclical deposition process to deposit a dielectric layer on a substrate and using a second cyclical deposition process to deposit a capping layer directly on the dielectric layer. The methods also include thermally annealing the dielectric layer with the capping layer directly thereon to form a high-k dielectric layer. Exemplary device structures are disclosure, such as metal-insulator-metal capacitor structures.
