摘要： A method for fabricating a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) capacitor stack is disclosed wherein the stack includes a first electrode, a dielectric layer, and a second electrode. The first electrode is formed from a conductive binary metal compound and the conductive binary metal compound is annealed in a reducing atmosphere to promote the formation of a desired crystal structure. The binary metal compound may be a metal oxide. Annealing the metal oxide (i.e. molybdenum oxide) in a reducing atmosphere may result in the formation of a first electrode material (i.e. MoO2) with a rutile-phase crystal structure. This facilitates the formation of the rutile-phase crystal structure when TiO2 is used as the dielectric layer. The rutile-phase of TiO2 has a higher k value than the other possible crystal structures of TiO2 resulting in improved performance of the DRAM capacitor.

摘要： A thin sub-layer ( 12) host material. The sub-layer may be formed by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The layer and sub-layer are annealed to form a composite dielectric layer. The host material crystallizes, but the crystalline lattice and grain boundaries are disrupted near the impurity sub-layer, impeding the migration of electrons. The impurity may be a material with a lower dielectric constant than the high-k material, added in such a small relative amount that the composite dielectric is still high-k. Metal-insulator-metal capacitors may be fabricated by forming the composite dielectric layer between two electrodes.
摘要翻译：在高k（k> 12）主体材料的较厚层（〜30-100）的下面，上方或内部形成杂质的薄亚层（<15Å）。子层可以通过原子层沉积（ALD）形成。层和子层进行退火以形成复合介电层。主体材料结晶，但晶格和晶界在杂质子层附近被破坏，阻碍了电子迁移。杂质可以是具有比高k材料低的介电常数的材料，以如此小的相对量添加复合电介质仍然高k。可以通过在两个电极之间形成复合介电层来制造金属 - 绝缘体 - 金属电容器。

摘要： This disclosure provides (a) methods of making an oxide layer (e.g., a dielectric layer) based on titanium oxide, to suppress the formation of anatase-phase titanium oxide and (b) related devices and structures. A metal-insulator-metal (“MIM”) stack is formed using an ozone pretreatment process of a bottom electrode (or other substrate) followed by an ALD process to form a TiO2 dielectric, rooted in the use of an amide-containing precursor. Following the ALD process, an oxidizing anneal process is applied in a manner is hot enough to heal defects in the TiO2 dielectric and reduce interface states between TiO2 and electrode; the anneal temperature is selected so as to not be so hot as to disrupt BEL surface roughness. Further process variants may include doping the titanium oxide, pedestal heating during the ALD process to 275-300 degrees Celsius, use of platinum or ruthenium for the BEL, and plural reagent pulses of ozone for each ALD process cycle. The process provides high deposition rates, and the resulting MIM structure has substantially no x-ray diffraction peaks associated with anatase-phase titanium oxide.
