    摘要: A method for processing dielectric materials and electrodes to decrease leakage current is disclosed. The method includes a post dielectric anneal treatment in an oxidizing atmosphere to reduce the concentration of oxygen vacancies in the dielectric material. The method further includes a post metallization anneal treatment in an oxidizing atmosphere to reduce the concentration of interface states at the electrode/dielectric interface and to further reduce the concentration of oxygen vacancies in the dielectric material.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a DRAM capacitor stack is described wherein the dielectric material is a multi-layer stack formed from a highly-doped material combined with a lightly or non-doped material. The highly-doped material remains amorphous with a crystalline content of less than 30% after an annealing step. The lightly or non-doped material becomes crystalline with a crystalline content of equal to or greater than 30% after an annealing step. The dielectric multi-layer stack maintains a high k-value while minimizing the leakage current and the EOT value.

    摘要: A method for forming a DRAM MIM capacitor stack having low leakage current and low EOT involves the use of a first electrode that serves as a template for promoting the high k phase of a subsequently deposited first dielectric layer. The first high k dielectric layer comprises a doped material that can be crystallized after a subsequent annealing treatment. An amorphous, doped high k second dielectric material is form on the first dielectric layer. The dopant concentration and the thickness of the second dielectric layer are chosen such that the second dielectric layer remains amorphous after a subsequent annealing treatment. A second electrode layer compatible with the second dielectric layer is formed on the second dielectric layer.
