    摘要: HfO2 films and ZrO2 films are currently being developed for use as capacitor dielectric films in 85 nm technology node DRAM. However, these films will be difficult to use in 65 nm technology node or later DRAM, since they have a relative dielectric constant of only 20-25. The dielectric constant of such films may be increased by stabilizing their cubic phase. However, this results in an increase in the leakage current along the crystal grain boundaries, which makes it difficult to use these films as capacitor dielectric films. To overcome this problem, the present invention dopes a base material of HfO2 or ZrO2 with an oxide of an element having a large ion radius, such as Y or La, to increase the oxygen coordination number of the base material and thereby increase its relative dielectric constant to 30 or higher even when the base material is in its amorphous state. Thus, the present invention provides dielectric films that can be used to form DRAM capacitors that meet the 65 nm technology node or later.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a capacitor having a lower electrode (102), a high-dielectric-constant or ferroelectric thin film (103), and an upper electrode (104) which are subsequently stacked. An impurity having an action of suppressing the catalytic activity of a metal or a conductive oxide constituting the electrode is added to the upper electrode (104).

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit in which the storage capacitor has an increased capacitance and a decreased leakage current. The storage capacitor is formed by the steps of: forming a polysilicon bottom electrode having semispherical silicon crystals formed thereon; performing plasma nitriding on the surface of said bottom electrode at a temperature lower than 550° C., thereby forming a film of silicon nitride having a film thickness smaller than 1.5 nm; and depositing a film of amorphous tantalum pentoxide and then crystallizing said amorphous tantalum pentoxide. The silicon nitride film has improved resistance to oxidation and also has a reduced leakage current. As a result, the polysilicon bottom electrode becomes resistant to oxidation and the storage capacitor increases in capacitance and decreases in leakage current.

    摘要: A diffusion preventive layer extending between the bottom surface of a lower electrode and an interconnection connecting the lower electrode to one of the diffusion layer of a switching transistor is self-aligned. As a result, side trench is produced since a hole pattern is formed by using a dummy film, and even if a contact plug of a memory section is misaligned with the diffusion preventive layer, the contact plug is out of direct contact with a dielectric film having a high permittivity. Hence, a highly reliable device can be obtained.

    摘要: A semiconductor device having a bottom electrode, a ferroelectric film, and a top electrode formed on a semiconductor substrate, wherein the angle of each of the main cross sectional sides of the ferroelectric film relative to the main surface of the semiconductor substrate is less than 75 degrees. Forming the ferroelectric film into the trapezoid in cross section having such an angle provides a microscopic capacitor without electrical short-circuit between the top and bottom electrodes if the top electrode, the ferroelectric film, and the bottom electrode are etched with single photolithography process step. The novel technique implements a microscopic memory cell structure suitable for highly integrated memory devices.

The system comprises two independently operating magnetic conveyor system elements, and is provided with drive shafts 18A-18C, each of which has helical magnetic poles at its surface, and a guide path 14 along which a carrier 13 travels, and the carrier is equipped with magnetic poles of equal pitch to the pitch of the helical magnetic poles. When the rotary shafts rotate, the carrier moves over the guide path by a magnetic coupling action and is passed between the magnetic conveyor system elements. The system further includes a rotation angle sensor 34 which senses a specific rotation angle of the drive shaft, a position check sensor 35 which senses the reception of the carrier, and control units 32A and 32B which position the carrier when the sensing of both sensors 34, 35 has been performed synchronously.
