Abstract

A suitable substrate is provided to which is applied a metal electrically conductive film electrode. The substrate and electrically conductive electrode film are then exposed to ion beam implantation of O+ or N+ ions to impregnate the surface of the metal electrode with O+ or N+ ions. Thereafter, the substrate and electrically conductive film having implanted O+ or N+ ions is annealed so as to stabilize the oxide structure which has been implanted into the surface of the electrically conductive film to provide an ultra-thin dielectric film.
