摘要:
Disclosed is a triple metal line 1T/1C ferroelectric memory device and a method to make the same. A ferroelectric capacitor is connected to the transistor through a buried contact plug. An oxidation barrier layer lies between the contact plug and the lower electrode of the capacitor. A diffusion barrier layer covers the ferroelectric capacitor to prevent diffusion of material into or out of capacitor. As a result of forming the oxidation barrier layer, the contact plug is not exposed to the ambient oxygen atmosphere thereby providing a reliable ohmic contact between the contact plug and the lower electrode. Also, the memory device provides a triple interconnection structure made of metal, which improves device operation characteristics.

A ferroelectric memory device includes a microelectronic substrate and a plurality of ferroelectric capacitors on the substrate, arranged as a plurality of rows and columns in respective row and column directions. A plurality of parallel plate lines overlie the ferroelectric capacitors and extend along the row direction, wherein a plate line contacts ferroelectric capacitors in at least two adjacent rows. The plurality of plate lines may include a plurality of local plate lines, and the ferroelectric memory device may further include an insulating layer disposed on the local plate lines and a plurality of main plate lines disposed on the insulating layer and contacting the local plate lines through openings in the insulating layer. In some embodiments, ferroelectric capacitors in adjacent rows share a common upper electrode, and respective ones of the local plate lines are disposed on respective ones of the common upper electrodes. Ferroelectric capacitors in adjacent rows may share a common ferroelectric dielectric region. Related fabrication methods are discussed.

摘要:
A ferroelectric capacitor with a ferroelectric film having a relatively larger amount of titanium constituent than zirconate constituent improves ferroelectric characteristics. The method for fabricating the ferroelectric capacitor includes the step of performing a heat treatment in an oxygen atmosphere after forming a contact opening in an insulating layer which covers an already formed ferroelectric capacitor. This heat treatment in an oxygen atmosphere can minimize undesirable side effects resulting from a platinum electrode oxidizing the ferroelectric film components.
