摘要:
An IrOx film is formed as a first conductive oxide film on a PLZT film by a reactive sputtering method. Thereafter, thermal treatment by, for example, RTA is performed in an atmosphere containing oxygen having partial pressure of less than 5% of atmospheric pressure. As a result, crystallization of the PLZT film is promoted, and annealing treatment is performed for the IrOx film. Thereafter, furnace annealing at 600° C. or higher, for example, 650° C. is performed for 60 minutes in, for example, an O2 atmosphere as recovering annealing to recover oxygen deficiency in the PLZT film. Subsequently, an IrO2 film is formed as a second conductive oxide film on the IrOx film by a sputtering method.

摘要:
Disclosed is a ferroelectric capacitor forming method of allowing a FeRAM to be stably mass-produced. In forming the ferroelectric capacitor for the FeRAM, a PZT layer is formed on a lower electrode layer by a sputtering method. Then, a first RTA treatment for crystallizing the PZT is performed in an environment controlled such that predetermined capacitor performance such as a data holding property can be obtained regardless of the amount of a target previously used (used hours) in the sputtering method. For example, the O2 gas flow rate is controlled in an appropriate range during the first RTA treatment. Thereafter, formation of an upper electrode layer or a second RTA treatment is performed. As a result, the ferroelectric capacitor having predetermined capacitor performance can be formed with high yield, so that the FeRAM can be stably mass-produced.
