摘要: This disclosure provides (a) methods of making an oxide layer (e.g., a dielectric layer) based on yttrium and titanium, to have a high dielectric constant and low leakage characteristic and (b) related devices and structures. An oxide layer having both yttrium and titanium may be fabricated either as an amorphous oxide or as an alternating series of monolayers. In several embodiments, the oxide is characterized by a yttrium contribution to total metal that is specifically controlled. The oxide layer can be produced as the result of a reactive process, if desired, via either a PVD process or, alternatively, via an atomic layer deposition process that employs specific precursor materials to allow for a common process temperature window for both titanium and yttrium reactions.

摘要: This disclosure provides (a) methods of making an oxide layer (e.g., a dielectric layer) based on titanium oxide, to suppress the formation of anatase-phase titanium oxide and (b) related devices and structures. A metal-insulator-metal (“MIM”) stack is formed using an ozone pretreatment process of a bottom electrode (or other substrate) followed by an ALD process to form a TiO2 dielectric, rooted in the use of an amide-containing precursor. Following the ALD process, an oxidizing anneal process is applied in a manner is hot enough to heal defects in the TiO2 dielectric and reduce interface states between TiO2 and electrode; the anneal temperature is selected so as to not be so hot as to disrupt BEL surface roughness. Further process variants may include doping the titanium oxide, pedestal heating during the ALD process to 275-300 degrees Celsius, use of platinum or ruthenium for the BEL, and plural reagent pulses of ozone for each ALD process cycle. The process provides high deposition rates, and the resulting MIM structure has substantially no x-ray diffraction peaks associated with anatase-phase titanium oxide.

摘要: In some embodiments of the present invention, methods are developed wherein a gas flow of an electron donating compound (EDC) is introduced in sequence with a precursor pulse and alters the deposition of the precursor material. In some embodiments, the EDC pulse is introduced sequentially with the precursor pulse with a purge step used to remove the non-adsorbed EDC from the process chamber before the precursor is introduced. In some embodiments, the EDC pulse is introduced using a vapor draw technique or a bubbler technique. In some embodiments, the EDC pulse is introduced in the same gas distribution manifold as the precursor pulse. In some embodiments, the EDC pulse is introduced in a separate gas distribution manifold from the precursor pulse.

摘要: This disclosure provides a method of fabricating a semiconductor stack and associated device such as a capacitor and DRAM cell. In particular, a bottom electrode upon which a dielectric layer is to be grown may have a ruthenium-based surface. Lattice matching of the ruthenium surface with the dielectric layer (e.g., titanium oxide, strontium titanate or barium strontium titanate) helps promote the growth of rutile-phase titanium oxide, thereby leading to higher dielectric constant and lower effective oxide thickness. The ruthenium-based material also provides a high work function material, leading to lower leakage. To mitigate nucleation delay associated with the use of ruthenium, an adherence or glue layer based in titanium may be employed. A pretreatment process may be further employed so as to increase effective capacitor plate area, and thus promote even further improvements in dielectric constant and effective oxide thickness (“EOT”).
