    摘要: A method to produce thin films suitable for fabricating ferroelectric thin films. The method provides for selection of the predetermined amounts of lead, lanthanum, zirconium, and titanium precursors which are soluble in different solvents. Dissolving predetermined amounts of the precursors in their respective solvents in proportions such that hydrolyze reaction rate for each metal precursor will be approximately equal. The precursors and solvents are mixed, and water is added to begin a hydrolysis reaction. After the hydrolysis the solution is heated to drive off the excess water and solvent to promote the formation of a sol-gel. The sol-gel is then applied to a thin substrate and sintered to produce the ferroelectric film.

    摘要: Architectures for a ferroelectric memory which avoids the half select phenomenon and the problems associated with destructive readout. Non-destructive readout is provided by measuring current through the ferroelectric memory as a measure of its resistance. Information is stored in the ferroelectric memory element by altering its resistance through a polarizing voltage. The half select phenomenon is avoided by using isolation techniques. In various embodiments, zener diodes or bipolar junction transistors are used for isolation.

    摘要: A ferroelectric based capacitor structure and method for making the same. The capacitor includes a bottom electrode having a layer of Pt in contact with a first layer of an ohmic material. The capacitor dielectric is constructed from a layer of lead zirconium titanate doped with an element having an oxidation state greater than +4. The top electrode of the capacitor is constructed from a second layer of ohmic material in contact with a layer of Pt. The preferred ohmic material is LSCO; although RuO.sub.2 may also be utilized. The capacitor is preferably constructed over the drain of an FET such that the bottom electrode of the capacitor is connected to the drain of the FET. The resulting capacitor structure has both low imprint and low fatigue.

    摘要: A method for fabricating an integrated circuit having at least one integrated circuit component fabricated in a silicon substrate and a second device that is to be fabricated on a silicon oxide layer that covers the integrated circuit component. The integrated circuit component has a terminal that is to be connected a corresponding terminal on the second device. The second device includes an electrode structure in contact with a dielectric component that includes a layer of ferroelectric material. In the method of the present invention, a boundary layer comprising non-conducting polysilicon is deposited over the silicon oxide layer. The electrode structure is then fabricated by depositing one or more layers over the boundary layer. The ferroelectric layer is then deposited over the electrode structure and etched to provide the dielectric component. The boundary layer is then removed utilizing an etchant that etches silicon oxide much slower than polysilicon.

    摘要: An improved method for constructing integrated circuit structures in which a buffer SiO.sub.2 layer is used to separate various components comprising ferroelectric materials or platinum is disclosed. The invention prevents interactions between the SiO.sub.2 buffer layer and the ferroelectric materials. The invention also prevents the cracking in the SiO.sub.2 which is commonly observed when the SiO.sub.2 layer is deposited directly over a platinum region on the surface of the circuit. The present invention utilizes a buffer layer of material which is substantially inert with respect to the ferroelectric material and which is also an electrical insulator to separate the SiO.sub.2 layer from the ferroelectric material and/or the platinum regions.

    摘要: A circuit having an autonomous ferroelectric memory latch (AML) is disclosed. An AML characterized by an AML input, an AML output, a first AML power contact, a second AML power contact and an AML state, and a first switch in series with one of the AML input or the AML output. The switch is positioned to prevent the state of the AML from changing when power is provided between the first and second AML power contacts. In one aspect of the invention, the circuit could include a second switch in series with the other of the AML input or the AML output and a latch in series with the AML input or the AML output. The latch is positioned such that a direct path back does not exist between the AML output and the AML input.
