A method of forming a ruthenium-containing film in a vapor deposition process, including depositing ruthenium with an assistive metal species that increases the rate and extent of ruthenium deposition in relation to deposition of ruthenium in the absence of such assistive metal species. An illustrative precursor composition useful for carrying out such method includes a ruthenium precursor and a strontium precursor in a solvent medium, wherein one of the ruthenium and strontium precursors includes a pendant functionality that coordinates with the central metal atom of the other precursor, so that ruthenium and strontium co-deposit with one another. The method permits incubation time for ruthenium deposition on non- metallic substrates to be very short, thereby accommodating very rapid film formation in processes such as atomic layer deposition.

An integrated capacitor comprises a layer of dielectric material known as functional dielectric material based on crystallized material of perovskite type, between at least one first electrode known as a bottom electrode at the surface of a substrate and at least one second electrode known as a top electrode, said electrodes being electrically insulated by a layer of electrically insulating material in order to allow at least one contact on the top electrode. The electrically insulating material is made of an amorphous dielectric material of perovskite type having a dielectric constant lower than that of the crystallized material of perovskite type. The contact is formed from an etched contacting layer in contact with the electrically insulating dielectric layer level with its surface parallel to the plane of the layers. A process for manufacturing such an integrated capacitor is also provided.

摘要:
A ferroelectric capacitor is formed over a semiconductor substrate (10), and thereafter, interlayer insulating films (48, 50, 52) covering the ferroelectric capacitor are formed. Next, a contact hole (54) reaching a top electrode (40) is formed in the interlayer insulating films (48, 50, 52). Next, a wiring (58) electrically connected to the top electrode (40) through the contact hole (54) is formed on the interlayer insulating films (48, 50, 52). At the time of forming the top electrode (40), conductive oxide films (40a, 40b) are formed, and then a cap film (40c) composed of a noble metal exhibiting less catalytic action than Pt and having a thickness of 150 nm or less is formed on the conductive oxide films (40a, 40b).
