Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress the formation of silicon oxide films at the interfaces between capacitor electrodes and a capacitor insulating film, and to obtain a semiconductor device provided with capacitors having high permittivity, by using palladium or an alloy etc., of palladium and platinum as material for the capacitor electrodes. CONSTITUTION:In a semiconductor device having capacitors with ferroelectric or highly dielectric films uesd as capacitor insulating films 3, palladium or an alloy of palladium and platinum, or a conductive oxide is used as material for the capacitor electrodes. For example, a 1,000Angstrom -thick lower electrode 2 is formed by accumulation on a silicon substrate 1 by using a spattering method. And palladium or an alloy of palladium and platinum, or a conductive oxide (InO3, SnO2, RuO2, etc.,) is used as material for the electrodes. Then, 1,000-3,000Angstrom -thick ferroelectric film (PZT film etc.,) is formed by accumulation using a spattering method as a capacitor insulating film 3. After that, a 1,000Angstrom -thick upper electrode 4 is formed by accumulation with the same forming process as that of the lower electrode 2.

C1 and C2 are silicon oxide films 9
C and C0 indicate the capacitance in the ferroelectric film 3. When a PZT film is used as the ferroelectric film,
Since the PZT film is deposited at high temperature in an oxygen atmosphere, if polycrystalline silicon is used for the capacitor electrodes 2 and 4, the capacitor electrode 2 will be thermally oxidized, and the capacitor electrode 4 will be in contact with the capacitor insulating film, which is an oxide. Therefore, the interface is oxidized and a silicon oxide film 9 is formed at the interface between the capacitor electrodes 2 and 4 and the capacitor insulating film. Further, when a metal such as Pt is used for the capacitor electrode, the metal such as Pt is silicided, and a silicon oxide film 9 is formed at the interface between the capacitor insulating film 3 and the capacitor electrodes 2 and 4. When the silicon oxide film 9 is formed as described above, FIG.
