    摘要: Generally, the present invention utilizes a lower electrode comprising a sidewall spacer to form a top surface with rounded corners on which HDC material can be deposited without substantial cracking. An important aspect of the present invention is that the sidewall spacer does not reduce the electrical contact surface area between the lower electrode and the HDC material layer as compared to a similar structure containing a lower electrode without a sidewall spacer. One embodiment of the present invention is a microelectronic structure comprising a supporting layer (e.g. Si substrate 30) having a principal surface, a lower electrode overlying the principal surface of the supporting layer, and a high-dielectric-constant material layer (e.g. BST 44) overlying the top surface of the lower electrode. The lower electrode comprises an adhesion layer (e.g TiN 36), an unreactive layer (e.g. Pt 42), a sidewall spacer (e.g. SiO.sub.2 40) and a top surface, with the sidewall spacer causing the top surface to have a rounded corner. The rounded corner of the top surface minimizes crack formation in the high-dielectric-constant material layer.

    摘要: A stable, wide-bandgap (approximately 6 eV) ZnO/MgO multilayer thin film is fabricated using pulsed-laser deposition on c-plane Al2O3 substrates. Layers of ZnO alternate with layers of MgO. The thickness of MgO is a constant of approximately 1 nm; the thicknesses of ZnO layers vary from approximately 0.75 to 2.5 nm. Abrupt structural transitions from hexagonal to cubic phase follow a decrease in the thickness of ZnO sublayers within this range. The band gap of the thin films is also influenced by the crystalline structure of multilayer stacks. Thin films with hexagonal and cubic structure have band-gap values of 3.5 and 6 eV, respectively. In the hexagonal phase, Mg content of the films is approximately 40%; in the cubic phase Mg content is approximately 60%. The thin films are stable and their structural and optical properties are unaffected by annealing at 750° C.

    摘要: Generally, according to the present invention, the sidewall of the adhesion layer (e.g. TiN 36) in a lower electrode is pre-oxidized after deposition of an unreactive noble metal layer (e.g. Pt 38) but before deposition of an HDC material (e.g. BST 42). An important aspect of the present invention is that the pre-oxidation of the sidewall generally causes a substantial amount of the potential sidewall expansion (and consequent noble metal layer deformation) to occur before deposition of the HDC material. One embodiment of the present invention is a microelectronic structure comprising a supporting layer having a principal surface, and an adhesion layer overlying the principal surface of the supporting layer, wherein the adhesion layer comprises a top surface and an expanded, oxidized sidewall (e.g. TiO.sub.2 40). The structure further comprises a noble metal layer overlying the top surface of the adhesion layer, wherein the noble metal layer comprises a deformed area overlying the oxidized sidewall, and a high-dielectric-constant material layer overlying the noble metal layer. The high-dielectric-constant material layer is substantially free of expansion stress cracks in proximity to the deformed area of the noble metal layer.

    摘要: An improved method of forming a capacitor electrode for a microelectronic structure such as a dynamic read only memory is disclosed which has a high dielectric constant (HDC) material as a capacitor dielectric. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the sidewall of the adhesion layer (e.g. TiN 36) in a lower electrode is pre-oxidized after deposition of an unreactive noble metal layer (e.g. Pt 38) but before deposition of an HDC material (e.g. BST 42). An important aspect of the present invention is that the pre-oxidation of the sidewall generally causes a substantial amount of the potential sidewall expansion (and consequent noble metal layer deformation) to occur before deposition of the HDC material.
