    摘要: A conductive barrier, useful as a ferroelectric capacitor electrode, having high temperature stability has been provided. This conductive barrier permits the use of iridium (Ir) metal in IC processes involving annealing. Separating silicon substrate from Ir film with an intervening, adjacent, tantalum (Ta) film has been found to very effective in suppressing diffusion between layers. The Ir prevents the interdiffusion of oxygen into the silicon during annealing. A Ta or TaN layer prevents the diffusion of Ir into the silicon. This Ir/TaN structure protects the silicon interface so that adhesion, conductance, hillock, and peeling problems are minimized. The use of Ti overlying the Ir/TaN structure also helps prevent hillock formation during annealing. A method of forming a multilayer Ir conductive structure and Ir ferroelectric electrode are also provided.

    摘要: An iridium oxide (IrOx) nanowire neural sensor array and associated fabrication method are provided. The method provides a substrate with a conductive layer overlying the substrate, and a dielectric layer overlying the conductive layer. The substrate can be a material such as Si, SiO2, quartz, glass, or polyimide, and the conductive layer is a material such as ITO, SnO2, ZnO, TiO2, doped ITO, doped SnO2, doped ZnO, doped TiO2, TiN, TaN, Au, Pt, or Ir. The dielectric layer is selectively wet etched, forming contact holes with sloped walls in the dielectric layer and exposing regions of the conductive layer. IrOx nanowire neural interfaces are grown from the exposed regions of the conductive layer. The IrOx nanowire neural interfaces each have a cross-section in a range of 0.5 to 10 micrometers, and may be shaped as a circle, rectangle, or oval.

    摘要: A method is provided for patterning iridium oxide (IrOx) nanostructures. The method comprises: forming a substrate first region adjacent a second region; growing IrOx nanostructures from a continuous IrOx film overlying the first region; simultaneously growing IrOx nanostructures from a non-continuous IrOx film overlying the second region; selectively etching areas of the second region exposed by the non-continuous IrOx film; and, lifting off the IrOx nanostructures overlying the second region. Typically, the first region is formed from a first material and the second region from a second material, different than the first material. For example, the first material can be a refractory metal, or refractory metal oxide. The second material can be SiOx. The step of selectively etching areas of the second region exposed by the non-continuous IrOx film includes exposing the substrate to an etchant that is more reactive with the second material than the IrOx.
