    Abstract: A method of forming a capacitor includes depositing a dielectric metal oxide layer of a first phase to a thickness no greater than 75 Angstroms over an inner conductive capacitor electrode material. The first phase dielectric metal oxide layer has a k of at least 15. Conductive RuO2 is deposited over and into physical contact with the dielectric metal oxide layer. Then, the RuO2 and the dielectric metal oxide layer are annealed at a temperature below 500° C. The RuO2 in physical contact with the dielectric metal oxide during the annealing facilitates a change of the dielectric metal oxide layer from the first phase to a second crystalline phase having a higher k than the first phase. The annealed dielectric metal oxide layer is incorporated into a capacitor dielectric region of a capacitor construction. Other implementations are disclosed.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include methods of forming capacitors. A metal oxide mixture may be formed over a first capacitor electrode. The metal oxide mixture may have a continuous concentration gradient of a second component relative to a first component. The continuous concentration gradient may correspond to a decreasing concentration of the second component as a distance from the first capacitor electrode increases. The first component may be selected from the group consisting of zirconium oxide, hafnium oxide and mixtures thereof; and the second component may be selected from the group consisting of niobium oxide, titanium oxide, strontium oxide and mixtures thereof. A second capacitor electrode may be formed over the first capacitor electrode. Some embodiments include capacitors that contain at least one metal oxide mixture having a continuous concentration gradient of the above-described second component relative to the above-described first component.
