摘要:
A method of forming an integrated barrier/contact for stacked capacitors is provided which results in reduced cost of ownership and in a barrier which is nominally several times thicker than convention structures. The resulting structure results in decreased contact plug resistance as compared with conventional devices.

A capacitor structure that comprises a top platinum electrode and a bottom electrode having insulator on the sidewalls of the electrodes, and wherein the bottom electrode is from depositing a first electrode portion being recessed with respect to the insulator on the sidewalls thereof and depositing a second insulator portion is provided.
摘要:
A stacked capacitor, in accordance with the present invention includes a conductive plug disposed within a trench for connecting to an access device. A barrier is formed on the plug and is disposed within the trench. A dielectric layer is formed over the trench, the dielectric layer forming a hole therethrough exposing at least a portion of the barrier. A first electrode is formed within the hole and extends from the hole. A capacitor dielectric layer is formed on the first electrode and separating the first electrode from a second electrode, and the dielectric layer and the first electrode substantially prevent chemical interactions between materials of the barrier and materials of the capacitor dielectric layer and an oxidizing environment used to form the capacitor dielectric layer. A method of fabrication is also included.

A multi-layer electrode (246) and method of fabrication thereof in which a conductive region (244) is separated from a barrier layer (222) by a first conductive liner (240) and a second conductive liner (242). First conductive layer (240) comprises Pt, and second conductive liner (242) comprises a thin layer of conductive oxide. The multi-layer electrode (246) prevents oxygen diffusion through the top conductive region (244) and reduces material variation during electrode patterning.

An interconnect includes an opening formed in a dielectric layer. A conductive barrier is deposited in the opening, over which a first conductive layer is deposited. A conductive oxide is deposited over the first conductive layer, and a second conductive layer, formed from the same material as the first conductive layer, is deposited over the conductive liner.

摘要:
Improved CMP uniformity is achieved by providing improved control of the slurry distribution. Improved slurry distribution is achieved by, for example, the use of a slurry dispenser that dispenses slurry from a plurality of dispensing points. Providing a squeeze bar between the slurry dispenser and wafer to redistribute the slurry also improves the slurry distribution.

A method for forming a crystalline dielectric layer deposits an amorphous metallic oxide dielectric layer on a surface. The amorphous metallic oxide dielectric layer is treated with a plasma at a temperature of less than or equal to 400 degrees Celsius to form a crystalline layer.
摘要:
In accordance with the present invention, a method is disclosed for releasing semiconductor wafers from a polishing pad. The method includes the steps of applying a slurry to a polishing pad, rotating the polishing pad having slurry thereon while applying pressure against a wafer such that the wafer is polished by the slurry, introducing water to the polishing pad, increasing the rotational speed of the polishing pad to remove a portion of the slurry, decreasing the pressure during the step of increasing rotational speed to substantially prevent further polishing and removing the wafer from the polishing pad.
