A ruthenium electrode with a low amount of oxygen contamination and high thermal stability is formed by a chemical vapor deposition method. In the chemical vapor deposition method using an organoruthenium compound as a precursor, the introduction of an oxidation gas is limited to when the precursor is supplying, and the reaction is allowed to occur at a low oxygen partial pressure. Consequently, it is possible to form a ruthenium film with a low amount of oxygen contamination. Further, after formation of the ruthenium film, annealing at not less than the formation temperature is performed, thereby forming a ruthenium film with high thermal stability.

The present invention discloses a novel integrated circuit capacitor and a method of forming such a capacitor. The capacitor formation begins with a base electrode 18 adjacent an insulating region 26. This base electrode 18 can comprise either polysilicon or a metal. A layer 28 of a first material, such as a siliciding metal, is formed over the base electrode 18 as well as the adjacent insulating region. A self-aligned capacitor electrode 12 can then be formed by reacting the first material 28 with the base electrode 18 and removing unreacted portions of the first material 28 from the insulating region 26. The capacitor is then completed by forming a dielectric layer 16 over the self-aligned capacitor electrode 12 and a second capacitor electrode 14 over the dielectric layer 16.

摘要:
Method for solving the problem caused when forming a crown-structure capacitor in a trench which is formed in an insulating film, and having difficulty in electrical by connecting a first upper electrode formed on the inside wall of the trench and a second upper electrode which is to be a plate because of the intervention of dielectric between the first and second upper electrodes. The conducting state of the first upper electrode and the plate upper electrode is ensured by utilizing a tantalum oxide film formed on a titanium nitride film, which is brought to a completely conducting state when heat treated. A crown structure is formed without removing the insulating film, in which a trench has been formed, by wet etching, whereby a stacked trench capacitor, which has double the capacity is provided while eliminating the collapse of the lower electrode or pair bit defect.
