    摘要: A hydrogen diffusion barrier in an integrated circuit is located to inhibit diffusion of hydrogen to a thin film of a metal oxide, such as a ferroelectric layered superlattice material, in an integrated circuit. The hydrogen diffusion barrier comprises at least one of the following chemical compounds: strontium tantalate, bismuth tantalate, tantalum oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide and aluminum oxide. The hydrogen barrier layer is amorphous and is made by a MOCVD process at a temperature of 450° C. or less. A supplemental hydrogen barrier layer comprising a material selected from the group consisting of silicon nitride and a crystalline form of one of said hydrogen barrier layer materials is formed adjacent to said hydrogen diffusion barrier.

    摘要: A venturi mist generator creates a mist comprising droplets having a mean diameter less than one micron from liquid precursors containing multi-metal polyalkoxide compounds. The mist is mixed and then passed into a gasifier where the mist droplets are gasified at a temperature of between 100° C. and 250° C., which is lower than the temperature at which the precursor compounds decompose. The gasified precursor compounds are transported by carrier gas through insulated tubing at ambient temperature to prevent both condensation and premature decomposition. The gasified precursors are mixed with oxidant gas, and the gaseous reactant mixture is injected through a showerhead inlet into a deposition reactor in which a substrate is heated at a temperature of from 300° C. to 600 ° C. The gasified precursors decompose at the substrate and form a thin film of solid material on the substrate. The thin film is treated at elevated temperatures of from 500° C. to 900° C. to form polycrystalline metal oxide material, in particular, ferroelectric layered superlattice material.

    摘要: A nonconductive hydrogen barrier layer is deposited on a substrate and completely covers the surface area over a memory capacitor and a MOSFET switch of an integrated circuit memory cell. A portion of an insulator layer adjacent to the bottom electrode of a memory capacitor is removed by etching to form a moat region. A nonconductive oxygen barrier layer is deposited to cover the sidewall and bottom of the moat. The nonconductive oxygen barrier layer and a conductive diffusion barrier beneath the capacitor together provide a substantially continuous diffusion barrier between the capacitor and a switch. Also, the nonconductive hydrogen barrier layer, the nonconductive oxygen barrier, and the conductive diffusion barrier substantially completely envelop the capacitor, in particular a ferroelectric thin film in the capacitor.
