The invention relates to a microelectronic structure which provides improved protection of a hydrogen-sensitive dielectric against hydrogen contamination. According to the invention, the hydrogen sensitive dielectric (14) is covered at lest by an intermediate oxide (18), where material thickness is at lest five times the thickness of the hydrogen-sensitive dielectric. The intermediate oxide (18) simultaneously acts as an internal dielectric and is metabolized on its surface for this purpose. The intermediate oxide (18), which has a sufficient thickness absorbers the hydrogen that may be released during the deposition of a hydrogen barrier layer (22, 26), thus protecting the hydrogen-sensitive dielectric (14).

A process and method for compensating for a radial non-uniformity on a wafer that includes the steps of: centering a rotational thickness non-uniformity of a film on the wafer about the axis of the spin susceptor following a CMP process; positioning a nozzle in the spin processing unit to direct the etching solution along a radius of the wafer; adjusting the flow of the etching solution from the nozzle; adjusting the rotational speed of the spin susceptor to control the residence time of the etching solution; and coordinating the rotational speed of the spin susceptor, flow of etching solution and positioning of the nozzle to maximize the removal of material. The process may be utilized to compensate for the bowl-shaped non-uniformities of an STI oxide. These non-uniformities are compensated for and addressed after a CMP process.

A method for removing structures from a substrate is described. The method includes providing a substrate that has the structures that must be removed, applying a sacrifice layer, and removing the structures and the sacrifice layer in a polishing step. The method has the advantage that the sacrifice layer surrounds the structures that must be removed and stabilizes them, so that the structures can be eroded slowly and successively in the subsequent polishing step without breaking off. This prevents a smearing of the material of the structures such as occurs given direct polishing without a sacrifice layer.

A method for producing a ferroelectric layer includes preparing a substrate, applying a layer of material, which will be subsequently converted into the ferroelectric layer, and changing the material into the ferroelectric layer by applying an outer electrical field aligned with the direction desired in the ferroelectric material and heat treating the material. By providing a first noble metal electrode on the surface before applying the material that is to become the ferroelectric layer and then subsequently forming a second noble metal electrode on the ferroelectric layer, a ferroelectric storage capacitor can be formed. If the substrate is provided with memory cells, which include at least one transistor for each cell and the above-mentioned ferroelectric storage capacitors, a ferroelectric memory arrangement can be produced.

A method for fabricating a microelectronic component includes the step of applying a barrier against the passage of hydrogen to a storage capacitor having a ferroelectric dielectric or a paraelectric dielectric. During the formation of the barrier, firstly a silicon oxide layer is produced, the latter is then subjected to a heat treatment and a barrier layer is subsequently applied. A microelectronic component has a storage capacitor and a barrier including a silicon oxide layer and a barrier layer. The silicon oxide layer is disposed on an electrode of the storage capacitor and has been subjected to a heat treatment in an oxygen-containing atmosphere. The barrier layer is disposed on the silicon oxide layer and protects the storage capacitor against a passage of hydrogen through the barrier.
