    摘要: A ferroelectric memory cell formed on a monocrystalline silicon underlayer, either an epitaxial silicon contact plug to a transistor source or drain or silicon gate region for which the memory cell forms a non-volatile gate. A conductive barrier layer of doped strontium titanate, whether cationically substituted, such by lanthanum or niobium for strontium and titanium respectively, or anionically deficient, is epitaxially grown over the silicon, and a lower metal oxide electrode layer, a ferroelectric layer and an upper metal oxide electrode layer are epitaxially grown on the barrier layer. No platinum barrier is needed beneath the ferroelectric stack. The invention can be applied to many other functional oxide materials of the Ruddlesden-Popper and devices including micromachined electromechanical (MEM) devices and ferromagnetic tri-layer devices.

    摘要: A circuit element that includes a ferroelectric device connected to a substrate device. The circuit element is constructed by fabricating the substrate device in a semiconductor substrate and depositing a dielectric layer over the semiconductor substrate. A via is then etched in the dielectric layer to provide access to the substrate device and filled with copper or tungsten. A layer of a conducting metallic oxide is then deposited on the conducting plug, and a layer of ferroelectric material is deposited on the layer of conducting metal oxide. The layer of conducting metallic oxide is deposited at a temperature below 450° C., preferably at room temperature.

    摘要: A ferroelectric cell, particularly one integrated on a silicon substrate, comprising an amorphous barrier layer interposed between the ferroelectric stack and the silicon. Preferably, the ferroelectric stack includes conductive metal oxide electrodes sandwiching the ferroelectric layer. The metal oxide may act as a templating layer to crystallographically orient the ferroelectric layer. Alternatively, the electrodes and ferroelectric layer may be polycrystalline. The amorphous barrier layer may be composed of an intermetallic alloy, such as Ti3Al, a metal-metalloid, such as Pd—Si, a combination of early and later transition metals, such as Ti—Ni, and other related compound metal systems, such as (Ti, Zr)—Be, that form amorphous metals.

    摘要: A ferroelectric memory cell integrated with silicon circuitry which require a forming-gas anneal of the silicon circuitry after the ferroelectric stack has been formed. The ferroelectric layer may have a composition such that there is no space in the lattice of the ferroelectric phase to accommodate atomic hydrogen or have a composition with a Curie temperature below the temperature of the forming-gas anneal. Preferably, there is no upper platinum electrode, or it is deposited after the forming-gas anneal. A metal-oxide upper electrode serves as barrier to the forming-gas anneal, and an intermetallic layer positioned above the ferroelectric stack serves as an even better barrier. Forming-gas damage to the ferroelectric stack can be removed by a recovery anneal in a hydrogen-free environment, preferably performed at a temperature above the Curie temperature.

    摘要: A functional perovskite cell formed on a silicon substrate layer and including a functional layer of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3 or BFO) sandwiched between two electrode layers. An intermediate template layer, for example, of strontium titanate allows the bismuth ferrite layer to be crystallographically aligned with the silicon substrate layer. Other barrier layers of platinum or an intermetallic alloy produce a polycrystalline BFO layer. The cell may be configured as a non-volatile memory cell or a MEMS structure respectively depending upon the ferroelectric and piezoelectric character of BFO. The films may be grown by MOCVD using a heated vaporizer.

    摘要: A ferroelectric capacitor structure and its method of making in which a ferroelectric stack of two metal-oxide electrodes sandwiching a ferroelectric layer is fabricated on a silicon substrate with an intervening barrier layer, preferably of TiN. In one embodiment, a platinum layer is grown between the TiN and the lower metal-oxide electrode at a sufficiently high temperature that provides crystallographically ordered growth of the ferroelectric stack. In another embodiment, the platinum layer was completely eliminated with the lower electrode being grown directly on the TiN. Although the conventional conductive metal-oxide used in the electrode is lanthanum strontium cobalt oxide (LSCO), lanthanum nickel oxide provides good electrical and lifetime characteristics in a ferroelectric cell. Alternatively, the electrodes can be formed of the rock-salt metal oxides, such as neodymium oxide (NdO).
