Integrated circuit capacitors in which the capacitor dielectric is a thin film of BST having a grain size smaller than 200 nanometers formed above a silicon germanium substrate. Typical grain sizes are 40 nm and less. The BST is formed by deposition of a liquid precursor by a spin-on process. The original liquid precursor includes an alkoxycarboxylate dissolved in 2-methoxyethanol and a xylene exchange is performed just prior to spinning. The precursor is dried in air at a temperature of about 400.degree. C. and then furnace annealed in oxygen at a temperature of between 600.degree. C. and 850.degree. C.
