    摘要: The invention includes methods of forming hafnium-containing materials, such as, for example, hafnium oxide. In one aspect, a semiconductor substrate is provided, and first reaction conditions are utilized to form hafnium-containing seed material in a desired crystalline phase and orientation over the substrate. Subsequently, second reaction conditions are utilized to grow second hafnium-containing material over the seed material. The second hafnium-containing material is in a crystalline phase and/or orientation different from the crystalline phase and orientation of the hafnium-containing seed material. The second hafnium-containing material can be, for example, in an amorphous phase. The seed material is then utilized to induce a desired crystalline phase and orientation in the second hafnium-containing material. The invention also includes capacitor constructions utilizing hafnium-containing materials, and circuit assemblies comprising the capacitor constructions.

    摘要: A capacitor forming method can include forming an insulation layer over a substrate and forming a barrier layer to threshold voltage shift inducing material over the substrate. An opening can be formed at least into the insulation layer and a capacitor dielectric layer formed at least within the opening. Threshold voltage inducing material can be provided over the barrier layer but be retarded in movement into an electronic device comprised by the substrate. The dielectric layer can comprise a tantalum oxide and the barrier layer can include a silicon nitride. Providing threshold voltage shift inducing material can include oxide annealing dielectric layer such as with N2O. The barrier layer can be formed over the insulation layer, the insulation layer can be formed over the barrier layer, or the barrier layer can be formed over a first insulation layer with a second insulation layer formed over the barrier layer. Further, the barrier layer can be formed after forming the capacitor electrode or after forming the dielectric layer, for example, by using poor step coverage deposition methods.

    摘要: A ferroelectric or high dielectric constant capacitor having a multilayer lower electrode comprising at least two layers—a platinum layer and a platinum-rhodium layer—for use in a random access memory (RAM) cell. The platinum layer of the lower electrode adjoins the capacitor dielectric, which is a ferroelectric or high dielectric constant dielectric such as BST, PZT, SBT or tantalum pentoxide. The platinum-rhodium layer serves as an oxidation barrier and may also act as an adhesion layer for preventing separation of the lower electrode from the substrate, thereby improving capacitor performance. The multilayer electrode may have titanium and/or titanium nitride layers under the platinum-rhodium layer for certain applications. The capacitor has an upper electrode which may be a conventional electrode or which may have a multilayer structure similar to that of the lower electrode. Processes for manufacturing the multilayer lower electrode and the capacitor are also disclosed.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for preventing N2O from becoming super critical during a high pressure oxidation stage within a high pressure oxidation furnace are disclosed. The method and apparatus utilize a catalyst to catalytically disassociate N2O as it enters the high pressure oxidation furnace. This catalyst is used in an environment of between five atmospheres and 25 atmospheres N2O and a temperature range of 600° to 750° C., which are the conditions that lead to the N2O going super critical. By preventing the N2O from becoming super critical, the reaction is controlled that prevents both temperature and pressure spikes. The catalyst can be selected from the group of noble transition metals and their oxides. This group can comprise palladium, platinum, iridium, rhodium, nickel, silver, and gold.
