    Abstract: Deposition of lead-zirconium-titanate (PZT) ferroelectric material over iridium metal, in the formation of a ferroelectric capacitor in an integrated circuit. The capacitor is formed by the deposition of a lower conductive plate layer having iridium metal as a top layer. The surface of the iridium metal is thermally oxidized, prior to or during the deposition of the PZT material. The resulting iridium oxide at the surface of the iridium metal is very thin, on the order of a few nanometers, which allows the deposited PZT to nucleate according to the crystalline structure of the iridium metal rather than that of iridium oxide. The iridium oxide is also of intermediate stoichiometry (IrO2-x), and reacts with the PZT material being deposited.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating an integrated circuit (IC) chip is disclosed. The method starts with opening a window on a first surface of the IC chip through a passivation overcoat to expose the copper metallization layer. The window has sidewalls and a bottom that is adjacent the copper metallization layer. The method continues with depositing a barrier conductive stack on the passivation overcoat and exposed portions of the copper metallization layer, then depositing a sacrificial conductive stack on the barrier conductive stack. The sacrificial conductive stack has a thickness between 50 Å and 500 Å. The first surface of the semiconductor chip is polished to remove the sacrificial conductive stack and the barrier conductive stack from the surface of the passivation overcoat.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating an integrated circuit includes etching trenches in a first surface of a semiconductor layer. A trench dielectric layer is formed over the first surface and over bottoms and sidewalls of the trenches and a doped polysilicon layer is formed over the trench dielectric layer and within the trenches. The doped polysilicon layer is patterned to form a polysilicon bridge that connects to the polysilicon within the filled trenches and a blanket implant of a first dopant is directed to the polysilicon bridge and to the first surface. The blanket implant forms a contact region extending from the first surface into the semiconductor layer.
