    摘要: Capacitors having increased capacitance include an enhanced-surface-area (rough-surfaced) electrically conductive layer or other layers that are compatible with the high-dielectric constant materials. In one approach, an enhanced-surface-area electrically conductive layer for such capacitors is formed by processing a ruthenium oxide layer at high temperature at or above 500° C. and low pressure 75 torr or below, most desirably 5 torr or below, to produce a roughened ruthenium layer having a textured surface with a mean feature size of at least about 100 Angstroms. The initial ruthenium oxide layer may be provided by chemical vapor deposition techniques or sputtering techniques or the like. The layer may be formed over an underlying electrically conductive layer. The processing may be performed in an inert ambient or in a reducing ambient. A nitrogen-supplying ambient or nitrogen-supplying reducing ambient may be used during the processing or afterwards to passivate the ruthenium for improved compatibility with high-dielectric-constant dielectric materials. Processing in an oxidizing ambient may also be performed to passivate the roughened layer. The roughened layer of ruthenium may be used to form an enhanced-surface-area electrically conductive layer. The resulting enhanced-surface-area electrically conductive layer may form a plate of a storage capacitor in an integrated circuit, such as in a memory cell of a DRAM or the like. In another approach, a tungsten nitride layer is provided as an first electrode of such a capacitor. The capacitor, or at least the tungsten nitride layer, is annealed to increase the capacitance of the capacitor.

    摘要: An enhanced-surface-area conductive layer compatible with high-dielectric constant materials is created by forming a film or layer having at least two phases, at least one of which is electrically conductive. The film may be formed in any convenient manner, such as by chemical vapor deposition techniques, which may be followed by an anneal to better define and/or crystallize the at least two phases. The film may be formed over an underlying conductive layer. At least one of the at least two phases is selectively removed from the film, such as by an etch process that preferentially etches at least one of the at least two phases so as to leave at least a portion of the electrically conductive phase. Ruthenium and ruthenium oxide, both conductive, may be used for the two or more phases. Iridium and its oxide, rhodium and its oxide, and platinum and platinum-rhodium may also be used. A wet etchant comprising ceric ammonium nitrate and acetic acid may be used. In the case of this etchant and a ruthenium/ruthenium oxide film, the etchant preferentially removes the ruthenium phase, leaving a pitted or “islanded” surface of ruthenium oxide physically and electrically connected by the underlying conductive layer. The remaining pitted or islanded layer, together with the underlying conductive layer, if any, constitutes an enhanced-surface-area conductive layer. The enhanced-surface-area conductive layer may be used to form a plate of a storage capacitor in an integrated circuit, such as in a memory cell of a DRAM or the like.
