摘要： Described herein are capacitor devices formed using perovskite insulators. In one example, a perovskite templating material is formed over an electrode, and a perovskite insulator layer is grown over the templating material. The templating material improves the crystal structure and electrical properties in the perovskite insulator layer. One or both electrodes may be ruthenium. In another example, a perovskite insulator layer is formed between two layers of indium tin oxide (ITO), with the ITO layers forming the capacitor electrodes.

摘要： An improved trench capacitor structure is disclosed that allows for the formation of narrower capacitors. An example capacitor structure includes a first conductive layer on the sidewalls of an opening through a thickness of a dielectric layer, a capacitor dielectric layer on the first conductive layer, a second conductive layer on the capacitor dielectric layer, and a conductive fill material on the second conductive layer. The capacitor dielectric layer laterally extends above the opening and along a top surface of the dielectric layer, and the conductive fill material fills a remaining portion of the opening.

摘要： Described is a ferroelectric-based capacitor that improves reliability of a ferroelectric memory by using low-leakage insulating thin film. In one example, the low-leakage insulating thin film is positioned between a bottom electrode and a ferroelectric oxide. In another example, the low-leakage insulating thin film is positioned between a top electrode and ferroelectric oxide. In yet another example, the low-leakage insulating thin film is positioned in the middle of ferroelectric oxide to reduce the leakage current and improve reliability of the ferroelectric oxide.

摘要： Described is a ferroelectric-based capacitor that improves reliability of a ferroelectric memory by providing tensile stress along a plane (e.g., x-axis) of a ferroelectric or anti-ferroelectric material of the ferroelectric/anti-ferroelectric based capacitor. Tensile stress is provided by a spacer comprising metal, semimetal, or oxide (e.g., metal or oxide of one or more of: Al, Ti, Hf, Si, Ir, or N). The tensile stress provides polar orthorhombic phase to the ferroelectric material and tetragonal phase to the anti-ferroelectric material. As such, memory window and reliability of the ferroelectric/anti-ferroelectric oxide thin film improves.

摘要： Described herein are ferroelectric (FE) memory cells that include transistors having gate stacks separate from FE capacitors of these cells. An example memory cell may be implemented as an IC device that includes a support structure (e.g., a substrate) and a transistor provided over the support structure and including a gate stack. The IC device also includes a FE capacitor having a first capacitor electrode, a second capacitor electrode, and a capacitor insulator of a FE material between the first capacitor electrode and the second capacitor electrode, where the FE capacitor is separate from the gate stack (i.e., is not integrated within the gate stack and does not have any layers that are part of the gate stack). The IC device further includes an interconnect structure, configured to electrically couple the gate stack and the first capacitor electrode.

摘要： A memory device includes a group of ferroelectric capacitors with a shared plate that extends through the ferroelectric capacitors, has a greatest width between ferroelectric capacitors, and is coupled to an access transistor. The shared plate may be vertically between ferroelectric layers of the ferroelectric capacitors at the shared plate's greatest width. The memory device may include an integrated circuit die and be coupled to a power supply. Forming a group of ferroelectric capacitors includes forming an opening through an alternating stack of insulators and conductive plates, selectively forming ferroelectric material on the conductive plates rather than the insulators, and forming a shared plate in the opening over the ferroelectric material.
