摘要:
An implantation step of a dopant ion for forming source and drain regions (S and D) is divided into one implantation of a dopant ion for forming a p/n junction with a well region (3), and one implantation of a dopant ion that does not influence a position of the p/n junction between the source and drain regions (S and D) and the well region with a shallow implantation depth and′ a large implantation amount. After conducting an activation heat treatment of the dopant, a surface of the source/drain region is made into cobalt suicide 12, so that the source/drain region (S and D) can have a low resistance, and a p/n junction leakage can be reduced.

To securely prevent hydrogen from entering a ferroelectric layer of a ferroelectric memory. A first hydrogen barrier layer 5 is formed on the lower side of ferroelectric capacitors 7. Upper surfaces and side surfaces of the ferroelectric capacitors 7 are covered by a second hydrogen barrier layer. All upper electrodes 7c of the plural ferroelectric capacitors 7 to be connected to a common plate line P are connected to one another by an upper wiring layer 91. The upper wiring layer 91 is connected to the plate line P through a lower wiring 32 provided below the ferroelectric capacitors 7. A third hydrogen barrier layer 92 is formed on the upper wiring layer 91 such that all edge sections 92a of the third hydrogen barrier layer 92 come in contact with the first hydrogen barrier layer 5.

A method for manufacturing a ferroelectric memory includes: (a) forming first and second contact sections on a first dielectric layer formed above a base substrate; (b) forming a laminated body having a lower electrode, a ferroelectric layer and an upper electrode successively laminated; (c) forming a conductive hard mask above the laminated body and etching an area of the laminated body exposed through the hard mask, to thereby form a ferroelectric capacitor above the first contact section; (d) forming above the first dielectric layer a second dielectric layer that covers the hard mask, the ferroelectric capacitor and the second contact section; (e) forming a contact hole in the second dielectric layer which exposes the second contact section; (f) providing a conductive layer in an area including the contact hole for forming a third contact section; and (g) polishing the conductive layer and the second dielectric layer until the hard mask above the ferroelectric capacitor is exposed.

The invention provides a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same that are capable of improving the product performance and operational efficiency of a cross-point FeRAM, as well as increasing the area of capacitors included in the cross-point FeRAM. An upper electrode supporting layer forming mask for forming an upper electrode supporting layer can be made of a hard mask material. By making use of the upper electrode supporting layer forming mask remaining unremoved in forming and processing a lower electrode layer, prior to forming an upper electrode layer, a region where a ferroelectric capacitor is formed can be made larger than an area occupied by an intersection of the upper electrode layer and the lower electrode layer.
