Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a first hydrogen barrier film, a capacitor device formed on the first hydrogen barrier film, and a second hydrogen barrier film formed to cover the capacitor device. The first and second hydrogen barrier films each contain at least one common type of atoms for allowing the first and second hydrogen barrier films to adhere to each other.
Abstract:
After a capacitor device including a lower electrode, a capacitor dielectric film made from a ferroelectric film and an upper electrode is formed on a substrate, an insulating film covering the capacitor device is formed. Subsequently, the capacitor device covered with the insulating film is annealed for crystallizing the ferroelectric film.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has contact plugs each for electrically connecting a capacitor element to the source/drain region of a transistor, conductive layers formed on the contact plugs and made of titanium nitride which is a nitride only of a refractory metal, and polycrystalline conductive oxygen barrier layers each composed of a multilayer structure consisting of a titanium aluminum nitride film, an iridium film, and an iridium oxide film to prevent the diffusion of oxygen. Since the conductive layers made of titanium nitride which is low in crystal orientation is provided under the oxygen barrier films, the titanium aluminum nitride films formed as the oxygen barrier films directly on the conductive layers have a compact film structure so that the penetration of oxygen is prevented effectively.

Abstract:
A capacitor is formed on an interlayer insulating film formed on a semiconductor substrate. The capacitor includes a bottom electrode made of platinum, a capacitor insulating film made of SrTaBiO (SBT) containing an element absorbing hydrogen such as titanium, for example, in grain boundaries, inter-lattice positions or holes, and a top electrode made of platinum.
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.
