    摘要: A method for constructing oxide electrodes for use in an OxFET device is disclosed. The electrodes are formed by first depositing a double layer of conducting perovskite oxides onto an insulating oxide substrate. A resist pattern with the electrode configuration is then defined over the double layer by means of conventional lithography. The top oxide layer is ion milled to a depth preferably beyond the conducting oxide interface, but without reaching the substrate. Chemical etching or RIE is used to remove the part of the lower conductive oxide layer exposed by ion milling without damaging the substrate. Source and drain electrodes are thereby defined, which can be then be used as buried contacts for other perovskites that tend to react with metals. Also disclosed is a field effect transistor structure which includes these source and drain electrodes in a buried channel configuration.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a ferroelectric capacitor usable as a memory cell in a non-volatile integrated circuit memory integrated on a silicon substrate, preferably including an intermetallic barrier layer. The memory cell consists of a ferroelectric layer, for example of lead niobium zirconium titanate (PNZT) sandwiched between metal oxide electrodes, for example of lanthanum strontium cobaltite (LSCO), which forms with a crystalline orientation and provides a growth template for the crystalline formation of the ferroelectric. The intermetallic layer prevents diffusion of oxygen from the bottom LSCO electrode down to the underlying silicon. At least the bottom electrode is subjected to a rapid thernal anneal at an annealing temperature above its growth temperature. Thereby, the polarization and fatigue characteristics of the ferroelectric cell are improved. Also, a similar intermetallic layer may be placed above the ferroelectric cell. A preferred composition of the intermetallic layer is a refractory silicide, especially a refractory disilicide.

    摘要: A ferroelectric memory cell integrated with silicon circuitry which require a forming-gas anneal of the silicon circuitry after the ferroelectric stack has been formed. The ferroelectric layer may have a composition such that there is no space in the lattice of the ferroelectric phase to accommodate atomic hydrogen or have a composition with a Curie temperature below the temperature of the forming-gas anneal. Preferably, there is no upper platinum electrode, or it is deposited after the forming-gas anneal. A metal-oxide upper electrode serves as barrier to the forming-gas anneal, and an intermetallic layer positioned above the ferroelectric stack serves as an even better barrier. Forming-gas damage to the ferroelectric stack can be removed by a recovery anneal in a hydrogen-free environment, preferably performed at a temperature above the Curie temperature.

    摘要: A ferroelectric cell in which a ferroelectric stack of a perovskite ferroelectric sandwiched by cubic perovskite metal-oxide conductive electrodes are formed over a silicon body, such as a polysilicon plug penetrating a field oxide over a silicon transistor. According to the invention, an oxidation barrier is placed between the lower metal-oxide electrode and the polysilicon. The oxidation barrier may be: (1) a refractory metal sandwiched between two platinum layer which forms a refractory oxide in a platinum matrix; (2) an intermetallic barrier beneath a platinum electrode, e.g., of NiAl; or (3) a combination of Ru and SrRuO.sub.3 or similar materials. Thereby, the polysilicon plug is protected from oxidation.

    摘要: A functional perovskite cell formed on a silicon substrate layer and including a functional layer of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3 or BFO) sandwiched between two electrode layers. An optional intermediate template layer, for example, of strontium titanate allows the bismuth ferrite layer to be crystallographically aligned with the silicon substrate layer. Other barrier layers of platinum or an intermetallic alloy produce a polycrystalline BFO layer. The cell may be configured as a non-volatile memory cell or a MEMS structure respectively depending upon the ferroelectric and piezoelectric character of BFO. Lanthanum substitution in the BFO increases ferroelectric performance. The films may be grown by MOCVD using a heated vaporizer.
