After an SBT layer is precipitated onto a substrate, the SBT layer is structured as a still amorphous layer. Only subsequently is it subjected to a crystallization process. Layers produced in this manner have a relatively high degree of dielectric strength and have no stoichiometric deviations on the etched edges.

摘要:
A ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) device, and a fabrication method therefor, includes seed layers above and below a ferroelectric layer. The seed layers formed above and below faces of the ferroelectric layer can prevent an imprint phenomenon from being generated in a ferroelectric capacitor by making the characteristics of the upper and lower interfaces of the ferroelectric layer be the same. This is accomplished by providing upper and lower seed layers that are crystallized prior to the ferroelectric layer during a thermal treatment. This results in crystallization occurring from the upper and lower faces to the center of the ferroelectric layer, making the characteristics of the upper and lower interfaces of the ferroelectric layer the same, thereby improving ferroelectric capacitor characteristics.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for reducing the crystallization temperature of amorphous or partially crystallized ceramic films by providing a higher pressure under which the crystallization of the amorphous or partially crystallized ceramic films can be significantly enhanced. The present invention not only improves quality, performance and reliability of the ceramic films, but also reduces the cost for production. By lowering the crystallization temperature, the cost for thermal energy consumed during the crystallization process is greatly reduced. In addition, the interaction or interdiffusion occurring between films and substrates is significantly suppressed or essentially prevented, avoiding the off-stoichiometry and malfunction of thin films, which usually occur in the conventional high-temperature crystallization processes. The process of present invention also decreases the grain size of formed films, thus reducing the roughness of films and producing relatively smooth, good quality films. This process made possible the fabrication of ceramic films with larger area at substantially lower temperatures without using other excitation energy such as laser, ion beam or electron beam, and is applicable to very large scale integrated circuit technologies. The present invention finds broad applications including manufacturing electronic and optical devices such as ferroelectric memories, capacitors, actuators, piezoelectric transducers, pyroelectric sensors, gas-sensors, electro-optic displays, electro-optic switching, non-liner optical devices, and reflective/antireflective coating, etc.

A mist is generated by a venturi from liquid precursors containing compounds used in chemical vapor deposition, transported in carrier gas through tubing at ambient temperature, passed into a heated zone where the mist droplets are gasified at a temperature of between 100.degree. C. and 200.degree. C., which is lower than the decomposition temperature of the precursor compounds. The gasified liquid is injected through an inlet assembly into a deposition reactor in which there is a substrate heated to from 400.degree. C. to 600.degree. C., on which the gasified compounds decompose and form a thin film of layered superlattice compound.
摘要:
In a method of forming an insulating film on a substrate wherein a substrate is cleaned by heating it in an atmosphere of a reducing gas, and heating it in an oxidizing gas, and then growing an insulating film by heating the substrate in an atmosphere of a gas used to grow the film in the same reaction chamber, the insulating film is grown in stages and an insulating film grown in each stage is crystallized by heat treatment with a temperature higher than the heat treatment for the film growth. This can be accomplished by interposing a heat treatment with the higher temperature between successive film growth stages, or by using a higher temperature for the film growth for each stage with a temperature higher than that for the film growth in the preceding stage.
