    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a capacitor having a lower electrode (102), a high-dielectric-constant or ferroelectric thin film (103), and an upper electrode (104) which are subsequently stacked. An impurity having an action of suppressing the catalytic activity of a metal or a conductive oxide constituting the electrode is added to the upper electrode (104).

    摘要: A semiconductor memory which is improved in reliability by preventing the lowering of capacitance and defective insulation, especially, electrode delamination caused by the formation of the passivation film (insulating film) of a capacitor using a high-dielectric-constant or ferroelectric material by plasma processing at a relatively low temperature and a method for manufacturing the memory. The semiconductor memory has an integrated capacitor composed of a capacitor structure constituted of an upper electrode, a lower electrode, and a capacitor insulating film (of a high-dielectric-constant or ferroelectric thin film) which is held between electrodes and serves as a capacitor insulating film and a protective insulating film which covers the capacitor structure and is formed by plasma treatment. An oxygen introducing layer is further formed on the surface of the thin film constituting the capacitor insulating film. In the manufacturing process of the memory, for example, the oxygen introducing layer is formed on the surface of the high-dielectric-constant or ferroelectric material by introducing oxygen to the boundary between the electrode and the material by conducting heat treatment in an oxygen atmosphere before the protective insulating film (SiO2 passivation film) is formed by plasma treatment after the formation of the electrode. Therefore, lowering of capacitance, defective insulation, and especially, electrode delamination, which are caused by the formation of the passivation film (insulating film), can be prevented.

    摘要: By exploiting an intense correlation exhibited between the distribution of lattice distortions in a wafer and the distribution of the threshold voltages of field effect transistors, the distribution of the lattice distortions in the wafer is reduced, thereby to mitigate the distribution of the characteristics of the semiconductor elements inthe wafer. The difference between the maximum value and minimum value of the lattice distortions of a GaAs single crystal at a normal temperature is set to at most 4×10−5, and the density of Si atoms contained in the GaAs single crystal is set to at most 1×1016 cm−3, whereby the characteristics of semiconductor elements whose parent matrial is the GaAs single crystal can be made uniform.
