In a method of forming a phase-change memory unit, a conductive layer is formed on a substrate having a trench. The conductive layer is planarized until the substrate is exposed to form a first electrode. A spacer partially covering the first electrode is formed.

A method for compensating an image produced by image means for implementing image information takes account of ambient illumination. Luminance of external background illumination around the image means is measured. The measured luminance of the background illumination is compared with preset tristimulus values and a reflectance factor of the image means, a comparison result is computed, and a control signal is generated to compensate luminance and chroma of an image. Luminance and chroma of the image means are compensated in response to the control signal.

The patterned interlayer dielectric is annealed in an ambient atmosphere, including oxygen atoms. The etch-stop layer exposed through the second opening is etched to expose a top surface of the conductive pattern. First and second top plugs are formed to connect to the ferroelectric capacitor and the conductive pattern through the first and second openings, respectively.

An embodiment of the FeRAM includes a ferroelectric capacitor including a bottom electrode, a ferroelectric layer, and a top electrode. Strontium ruthenium oxide is formed between the bottom electrode and the ferroelectric layer and between the ferroelectric layer and the top electrode. A diffusion barrier layer including strontium ruthenium oxide and iridium is formed between the top electrode and a direct cell contact plug coupled to a plate line interconnecting top electrodes of ferroelectric capacitors. Thus, diffusion of nitrogen or metallic materials produced in subsequent processes is suppressed to prevent degradation of the ferroelectric layer.
