摘要:
In a semiconductor storage device in a stack structure wherein a capacitor section having an upper electrode, a dielectric layer, and a lower electrode is connected with a transistor section by a plug, the lower electrode is formed in contact with the plug. The lower electrode is formed of at least an oxide of a platinum-rhodium alloy. In addition to the oxide of a platinum-rhodium alloy, platinum and/or a platinum-rhodium alloy can be used as materials for forming the lower electrode. The plug is formed of polysilicon or tungsten. When the plug is formed of polysilicon, the lower electrode is formed by sequentially laminating, for example, a film of the oxide of the platinum-rhodium alloy, a film of the platinum-rhodium alloy, and a film of the oxide of the platinum-rhodium alloy on the plug.

An alloy oxide film of platinum and rhodium is formed as an upper electrode so as to be put in direct contact with a ferroelectric PZT film. Asymmetry of a hysteresis loop characteristic of a dielectric material representing a correlation between a polarization value and an application electric field as well as a deterioration such as an increase in leak current density, when oxide electrode of IrO2, RuO2, RhO2 or the like is used, are improved.

By depositing a diffusion prevention film 7 constructed of an oxide of aluminum containing barium and heat-treating the diffusion prevention film 7 in the atmosphere of a mixed gas of oxygen and carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide is made to adsorb to the barium contained in the diffusion prevention film 7. The diffusion prevention film can effectively restrain the permeation of hydrogen and has an excellent hydrogen barrier property. By using the diffusion prevention film for a capacitor, a high-yield semiconductor storage device having the capacitor of a stable ferroelectric characteristic or high dielectric characteristic can be obtained.
