TL;DR: A via etch to contact a capacitor with ferroelectric between electrodes together with dielectric on an insulating diffusion barrier includes two-step etch with Fbased dielectrics etch and Cl- and F-based barrier etch as discussed by the authors.
Patent
Hardmask designs for dry etching FeRAM capacitor stacks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a ferroelectric capacitor formed over a semiconductor substrate, the capacitance consisting of a bottom electrode, a top electrode, and a hard mask.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Permittivity Perovskite Thin Films for Dynamic Random-Access Memories
TL;DR: An important application of ferroelectric films is their incorporation into dynamic random-access memories (DRAMs) as the storage node capacitor dielectric as discussed by the authors, and the steady trend toward higher density has placed severe demands on the device designs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ferroelectric Hf 0.5 Zr 0.5 O 2 Thin Films: A Review of Recent Advances
TL;DR: In this paper, recent advances in the ferroelectric properties of HZO thin films, including doping effects, mechanical stress effects, interface effects, and film thickness effects, are comprehensively reviewed.
Patent
A conductive amorphous-nitride barrier layer for high dielectric-constant material electrodes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an exotic-nitride barrier layer, which substantially inhibits diffusion of oxygen to the oxidizable layer, thus minimizing deleterious oxidation of the oxide layer.
