    摘要: A FRAM having a ferroelectric capacitor comprises a cylindrical type bottom electrode. A ferroelectric film is thinly stacked over the bottom electrode, and the first portion of the top electrode formed over and conformal to the ferroelectric film. A void that is left between sidewalls of the first portion of the electrode over the ferroelectric film is then filled with fill material for a fill layer. The fill material of the fill layer is then planarized to be level with and expose an upper surface of the first portion of the top electrode. A second portion of the top electrode is then formed over the fill layer and in contact with the exposed, e.g. peripheral regions of the first portion of the electrode. The fill material of the fill layer may be formed of polysilicon, silicon oxide or other material such as another metal. Additionally, the fill layer may be formed of a fill material that has a superior gap fill capability or of a material that has a low stress relationship with respect to the capacitor's top metal.
