摘要:
A metal-oxy-nitride seed dielectric layer can be formed on a metal-nitride lower electrode of a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) type capacitor. The metal-oxy-nitride seed dielectric layer can act as a barrier layer to reduce a reaction with the metal-nitride lower electrode during, for example, backend processing used to form upper levels of metallization/structures in an integrated circuit including the MIM type capacitor. Nitrogen included in the metal-oxy-nitride seed dielectric layer can reduce the type of reaction, which may occur in conventional type MIM capacitors. A metal-oxide main dielectric layer can be formed on the metal-oxy-nitride seed dielectric layer and can remain separate from the metal-oxy-nitride seed dielectric layer in the MIM type capacitor. The metal-oxide main dielectric layer can be stabilized (using, for example, a thermal or plasma treatment) to remove defects (such as carbon) therefrom and to adjust the stoichiometry of the metal-oxide main dielectric layer.

Integrated circuit capacitors have composite dielectric layers therein. These composite dielectric layers include crystallization inhibiting regions that operate to increase the overall crystallization temperature of the composite dielectric layer. An integrated circuit capacitor includes first and second capacitor electrodes and a capacitor dielectric layer extending between the first and second capacitor electrodes. The capacitor dielectric layer includes a composite of a first dielectric layer extending adjacent the first capacitor electrode, a second dielectric layer extending adjacent the second capacitor electrode and an electrically insulating crystallization inhibiting layer extending between the first and second dielectric layers. The electrically insulating crystallization inhibiting layer is formed of a material having a higher crystallization temperature characteristic relative to the first and second dielectric layers.
