摘要:
The present invention provides a semiconductor device including a semiconductor element and a dummy semiconductor element adjacent to the semiconductor element. When the semiconductor element is a capacitor element including a bottom electrode, a top electrode and a dielectric layer between the electrodes, a dummy capacitor element also has dummy electrodes and a dummy dielectric layer between the dummy electrodes. The dummy electrode is located so that a space between the top electrode of the capacitor element ad the dummy top electrode is in a predetermined range (e.g. 0.3 μm to 14 μm). The dummy capacitor element prevents the capacitor dielectric layer from degrading since the collisions of the etching ions with the capacitor dielectric layer in a dry etching process is suppressed.

A protective insulating film is deposited over first and second field-effect transistors formed on a semiconductor substrate. A capacitor composed of a capacitor lower electrode, a capacitor insulating film composed of an insulating metal oxide film, and a capacitor upper electrode is formed on the protective insulating film. A first contact plug formed in the protective insulating film provides a direct connection between the capacitor lower electrode and an impurity diffusion layer of the first field-effect transistor. A second contact plug formed in the protective insulating film provides a direct connection between the capacitor upper electrode and an impurity diffusion layer of the second field-effect transistor.

An image display device includes thin film transistors and pixel electrodes arranged in matrix form on a substrate. A semiconductor layer forming a channel region of the thin film transistor also serves as the pixel electrode, thereby making the structure of the device simple and facilitating fabrication thereof.
摘要:
A semiconductor device comprising an integrated circuit and a capacitor. In this capacitor, a bottom electrode, a dielectric film and a top electrode are formed, independently of the integrated circuit, on the interlayer insulating film, and the top electrode and bottom electrode are connected with metal interconnections through contact holes opened in the protective film for protecting the surface of the capacitor. In this constitution, either the top electrode or the bottom electrode is connected the bias line of the integrated circuit, and the other is connected to the ground line, so that extraneous emission may be reduced without having to connect the capacitor outside.
摘要:
A Ti/TiN adhesion/barrier layer is formed on a substrate and annealed. The anneal step is performed at a temperature within a good morphology range of 100° C. above a base barrier anneal temperature that depends on the thickness of said barrier layer. The base barrier anneal temperature is about 700° C. for a barrier thickness of about 1000 Å and about 800° C. for a barrier thickness of about 3000 Å. The barrier layer is 800 Å thick or thicker. A first electrode is formed, followed by a BST dielectric layer and a second electrode. A bottom electrode structure in which a barrier layer of TiN is sandwiched between two layers of platinum is also disclosed. The process and structures also produce good results with other capacitor dielectrics, including ferroelectrics such as strontium bismuth tantalate.

This is a semiconductor device having an integrated circuit and a capacitor formed on a semiconductor substrate. The capacitor comprises a bottom electrode serving also as a part of a diffusion layer of the integrated circuit, a dielectric film being formed on the bottom electrode, and a top electrode of a conductive film being formed on the dielectric film. In particular, it is preferred to form the dielectric film in two layers of dielectric film, and compose the dielectric film contacting with the bottom electrode of a dielectric material in a composition possessing an excess of a metal element than the stoichiometric composition.
