- SiON1I16 is formed as an oxidation preventing film of the W plug 15 by, for example, a plasma enhanced CVD method.
- the surface of the W plug 15 is exposed by removing the SiON film 16 over the entire surface by etch-back.
- an A1 film is formed with part of the surface of the upper electrode 11, part of the surface of the lower electrode (the lower electrode film 9), and the surface of the W plug 15 exposed.
- the A1 wiring 17 is formed by patterning the A1 film.
- the W plug 15 and the upper electrode 11 or the lower electrode are connected to each other by the A1 wiring 17, and then, further, formation of an interlayer insulating film, formation of a contact plug, and wiring of the second and subsequent layers from the bottom Is formed.
- a ferroelectric memory having a ferroelectric capacitor is completed by forming a force bar film composed of, for example, a TEOS oxide film and a SiN film.
- the dielectric film 10 is formed by the same method as the sample No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, or No. 6 shown in FIGS.
- the terminal layer is an excess Zr layer. Therefore, the fluctuation of the leakage current is suppressed. Therefore, even if the AZB ratio of the PZT film is not set low in advance, it is possible to suppress the leakage current from exceeding the allowable value. That is, by increasing the A / B ratio, a high switching charge amount Q sw can be easily secured.
- the force for producing a planar ferroelectric capacitor may be applied to a stack type ferroelectric capacitor.
- a part of a contact plug such as a W plug connected to a transistor such as a MOS FET is connected to, for example, a lower electrode of a ferroelectric capacitor.
- the material of the ferroelectric film is not limited to PZT, for example, in PZT, Ca, S r, La , Nb, Ta, also possible to use a doped with I r and / / or W . Further, the effects of the present invention can be obtained also when an SBT-based film or a Bi-layered film is formed in addition to the PZT-based film.
- the crystal structure of the ferroelectric film must be AB0 3 type, also a plurality of types of atoms arranged in B-site
- a non-equilibrium layer for example, an excess Zr layer
- the ferroelectric film which contains an atom whose valence is hardly changed more than the equilibrium composition of the plural kinds of atoms. is there. This is because an atom whose valence easily changes can exist stably even if oxygen bonded to the atom is lost, so that the more atoms whose valence easily changes, the more atoms in the ferroelectric film. This is because electrons are easily released and the leakage current is likely to increase.
- the non-equilibrium layer is preferably formed as a termination layer, but is not limited thereto.
- the non-equilibrium layer may be formed as an initial layer.
- the thickness is preferably 20 nm or less. This is because if the thickness of the non-equilibrium layer exceeds 20 nm, the switching charge Q sw of the ferroelectric capacitor may be insufficient.
- the thickness of the non-equilibrium layer is preferably 2 nm or more.
- the AZB ratio in the non-equilibrium layer is preferably smaller than the AZB ratio in other parts in the ferroelectric film. This is because other parts of the ferroelectric material contribute more to the switching charge Q sw.
- the structure of the cell of the ferroelectric memory is not limited to the 1T1C type, but may be a 2T2C type. Industrial applicability
- the present invention even if the A / B ratio of the ferroelectric film fluctuates due to the presence of the non-equilibrium layer, the fluctuation of the leak current can be suppressed. Therefore, even if the A / B ratio of the ferroelectric film is not set low in advance, it is possible to suppress the leakage current from exceeding the allowable value. That is, by increasing the AZB ratio, a high switching charge amount Q sw can be easily ensured.
