Abstract

The present invention relates to the structure and manufacturing method of vertical ferroelectric capacitor. At first, an insulating layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate and is followed by forming in parallel the bottom electrode opening and the upper electrode opening in the insulating layer such that the opening is formed with a depth larger than its width. Then, conductive material is filled into the opening in order to form the bottom electrode and the upper electrode, which have two pieces of flat shapes perpendicular and parallel to each other. After that, part of the insulating layer between the bottom electrode and the upper electrode is stripped. An opening is formed between the bottom electrode and the upper electrode. Then, a ferroelectric layer is filled between the bottom electrode and the upper electrode so as to form the ferroelectric capacitor having a vertical structure.

Description of the invention (Field of the invention: The invention relates to a semiconductor element and manufacturing technology ', especially to a ferroelectric capacitor with a vertical structure. Background of the Invention: In recent years, non-volatile ferroelectric memory (FRAM) has generally attracted the attention of various circles and has continuously developed its manufacturing technology. In non-volatile ferroelectric memory, the capacitor of each ferroelectric memory cell Each layer has a ferroelectric film as the dielectric layer of the capacitor for storing data. The ferroelectric film has the characteristic of electric field polarization. When an electric field is applied to the ferroelectric film, the ferroelectric film will be polarized with the direction of the electric field and move in the electric field. After the removal, the polarization phenomenon still exists in the ferroelectric thin film, and will not disappear with the removal of the applied electric field. Using the characteristics of ferroelectric thin film polarization and long-term retention, the ferroelectric capacitors that can store data for a long time are developed. Ferroelectric memory is manufactured by application. Generally, each ferroelectric memory cell consists of a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor and a It is composed of ferroelectric capacitors. By switching the MOS transistor, the ferroelectric capacitors are switched to two opposite polarization states to store data. 〇 ”This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm), ----------- install --------- order --------- all (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 472339 A7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5.
