摘要: A dielectric structure is formed over a layer than contains a conductive component. An opening is formed in the dielectric structure. The opening exposes an upper surface of the conductive component. A first deposition process is performed that deposits a first conductive layer over the dielectric structure and partially in the opening. A treatment process is performed on a first portion of the first conductive layer formed over the dielectric structure. The treatment process introduces a non-metal material to the first portion of the first conductive layer. After the treatment process has been performed, a second deposition process is performed that at least partially fills the opening with a second conductive layer without trapping a gap therein.

摘要: Ferroelectric stacks are disclosed herein that can improve retention performance of ferroelectric memory devices. An exemplary ferroelectric stack has a ferroelectric switching layer (FSL) stack disposed between a first electrode and a second electrode. The ferroelectric stack includes a barrier layer disposed between a first FSL and a second FSL, where a first crystalline condition of the barrier layer is different than a second crystalline condition of the first FSL and/or the second FSL. In some embodiments, the first crystalline condition is an amorphous phase, and the second crystalline condition is an orthorhombic phase. In some embodiments, the first FSL and/or the second FSL include a first metal oxide, and the barrier layer includes a second metal oxide. The ferroelectric stack can be a ferroelectric capacitor, a portion of a transistor, and/or connected to a transistor in a ferroelectric memory device to provide data storage in a non-volatile manner.

摘要: 1. Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a ferroelectric random-access memory (FeRAM) cell or some other suitable type of memory cell comprising a bottom-electrode interface structure. The memory cell further comprises a bottom electrode, a switching layer over the bottom electrode, and a top electrode over the switching layer. The bottom-electrode interface structure separates the bottom electrode and the switching layer from each other. Further, the interface structure is dielectric and is configured to block or otherwise resist metal atoms and/or impurities in the bottom electrode from diffusing to the switching layer. By blocking or otherwise resisting such diffusion, leakage current may be decreased. Further, endurance of the memory cell may be increased.
