    摘要: A lower electrode is formed from a first metal on a semiconductor substrate. Atoms of a second metal, that is different than the first metal, are diffused into the lower electrode. A dielectric layer is formed on the lower electrode, and an upper electrode is formed on the dielectric layer. Diffusion of second metal atoms into the lower electrode may reduce or prevent crystal grain growth and agglomeration on a surface of the lower electrode during a subsequent high temperature process.

    摘要: Capacitors include an integrated circuit (semiconductor) substrate and an interlayer dielectric disposed on the integrated circuit substrate and including a metal plug therein. A lower electrode is disposed on the interlayer dielectric and contacting the metal plug. The lower electrode includes a cavity therein and a buried layer in the cavity. The buried layer is an oxygen absorbing material. A dielectric layer disposed on the lower electrode and an upper electrode is disposed on the dielectric layer. The lower electrode may be a noble metal layer. The buried layer may fill in the cavity and may not contain oxygen (O2) when initially formed.

    摘要: A metal-oxy-nitride seed dielectric layer can be formed on a metal-nitride lower electrode of a meta-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.
