Abstract:
A conductive oxygen barrier layer is formed on an interlayer dielectric film and patterned such that it is in contact with the top surface of a contact plug to prevent the diffusion of oxygen into the contact plug from above. The conductive oxygen barrier layer is composed of a lower layer containing a conductive nitride such as TiAlN, and an upper layer containing a conductive oxide such as IrO2. An insulative oxygen barrier layer composed of Al2O3 and having a thickness of approximately 20 nm is formed on the side surfaces of the conductive oxygen barrier layer to prevent the diffusion of oxygen into the contact plug from the sides, such as from the sides of the lower layer of the conductive barrier layer.

Abstract:
A capacitor including a capacitor lower electrode, a capacitor dielectric film of a highly dielectric film or a ferroelectric film and a capacitor upper electrode is formed on a semiconductor substrate. A protection film is formed on the semiconductor substrate so as to cover the capacitor. A first TEOS film having a relatively large water content is formed on the protection film through first TEOS-O3 CVD where an ozone concentration is relatively low. A second TEOS-O3 film having a relatively small water content is formed on the first TEOS-O3 film through second TEOS-O3 CVD where the ozone concentration is relatively high.
Abstract:
The semiconductor device of the invention includes a capacitor device, which is formed on a substrate and which includes a capacitive lower electrode, a capacitive insulating film made of an insulating metal oxide film and a capacitive upper electrode. An interlevel insulating film having an opening reaching the capacitive upper electrode is formed over the capacitor device. A metal interconnection including a titanium film is formed over the interlevel insulating film so as to be electrically connected to the capacitive upper electrode through the opening. An anti-diffusion film having conductivity is formed between the capacitive upper electrode and the metal interconnection for preventing titanium atoms composing the titanium film of the metal interconnection from passing through the capacitive upper electrode and diffusing into the capacitive insulating film.

A semiconductor memory device according to the present invention includes a memory cell capacitor for storing data thereon. The capacitor is made up of a first electrode connected to a contact plug, a second electrode and a capacitive insulating film interposed between the first and second electrodes. The first electrode includes a first barrier film in contact with the contact plug and a second barrier film, which is formed on the first barrier film and prevents the diffusion of oxygen. The second barrier film covers the upper and side faces of the first barrier film.
Abstract:
On a substrate, there are provided a lower electrode, a capacitance insulating film, a passivation insulating film, and a first partial film of an upper electrode to be filled in a second aperture (capacitance determining aperture) formed in the passivation insulating film. The lower electrode, the capacitance insulating film, and the first partial film constitute a capacitance element. The upper electrode has the first partial film which is in contact with the capacitance insulating film and a second partial film which is not in contact with the capacitance insulating film. Since a second electrode wire consisting of a lower-layer film composed of titanium and an upper-layer film composed of an aluminum alloy film is in contact with the second partial film distinct from the first partial film of the upper electrode, titanium or the like encroaching from the second electrode wire can be prevented from diffusing into the capacitance insulating film.

The average grain size of granular crystals constituting the iridium oxide film is a half or less of the thickness of the iridium oxide film.
