摘要:
The invention relates to a microelectronic structure. In said structure, an oxygen-containing iridium layer (25) is embedded between a silicon-containing layer (8, 20) and an oxygen barrier layer (30). Said iridium layer is especially produced by a sputter process in an oxygen atmosphere with a low oxygen content. The oxygen-containing iridium layer (25) is stable at temperatures up to 800 °C and withstands the formation of iridium silicide upon contact with the silicon-containing layer (20). Such microelectronic structures are preferably used in semiconductor memories.
摘要:
The invention concerns a multi-step process. Stage one consists of sputtering the coating at a low temperature. Stage two involves application of an RTP process in an inert atmosphere at a medium or high temperature. In stage three the coating is tempered in an atmosphere containing oxygen at a low or medium temperature. Temperature load is significantly reduced in comparison with conventional processes so that when this process is used to produce an integrated memory cell oxidation of an underlying barrier coating can be prevented.
摘要:
Disclosed is a microelectronic structure comprising a first conductive layer (20, 25) which prevents an oxygen diffusion at said structure. According to the invention, the first conductive layer (20, 25) consists of a base material and at least one oxygen-binding admixture which is provided with at least one element from the fourth subgroup or lanthane group. In a preferred embodiment, the microelectronic structure is used in semiconductor storage components with a metal oxide dielectric as condenser dielectric.
