摘要:
The present invention provides a ferroelectric device relatively free of fences by using a hardmask having high etching selectivity relative to an underlying barrier layer. The present invention also includes a method for suppressing the fences clinging to the sidewalls of ferroelectric devices. Additionally, the present invention provides a ferroelectric device having a hardmask relatively thin compared to an underlying barrier layer when compared to prior art devices.
摘要:
A ferroelectric device includes a bottom electrode on which are formed ferrocapacitor elements and, over the ferroelectric elements, top electrodes. The bottom electrodes are connected to lower layers of the device via conductive plugs, and the plugs and bottom electrodes are spaced apart by barrier elements of Ir and/or IrO2. The barrier elements are narrower than the bottom electrode elements, and are formed by a separate etching process. This means that Ir fences are not formed during the etching of the bottom electrode. Also, little Ir and/or IrO2 diffuses through the bottom electrode to the ferroelectric elements, and therefore there is little risk of damage to the ferroelectric material.
