- the “embossing process” for performing the embossing process is performed when each oxide layer is formed.
- the pressure in this embossing process is not limited to 5 MPa typically illustrated. As already described in some examples, if the pressure in this embossing step is a pressure in the range of 1 MPa or more and 20 MPa or less, at least some of the effects of the above-described embodiments can be achieved.
- embossing is performed on each precursor layer that has obtained high plastic deformation ability.
- the pressure applied when embossing is as low as 1 MPa or more and 20 MPa or less
- each precursor layer is deformed following the surface shape of the mold, and a desired embossing structure is obtained.
- the pressure in a low pressure range of 1 MPa or more and 20 MPa or less the mold becomes difficult to be damaged when performing the stamping process, and it is advantageous for increasing the area.
- the reason why the pressure is within the range of “1 MPa to 20 MPa” is as follows. First, if the pressure is less than 1 MPa, the pressure may be too low to emboss each precursor layer. On the other hand, if the pressure is 20 MPa, the precursor layer can be sufficiently embossed, so that it is not necessary to apply more pressure. From the viewpoint described above, it is more preferable to perform the embossing process at a pressure in the range of 2 MPa to 10 MPa in the embossing process in each of the above-described embodiments.
- the preliminary firing temperature is most preferably 100 ° C. or higher and 250 ° C. or lower. This is because the solvent in various precursor layers can be evaporated more accurately.
- pre-baking in the above-mentioned temperature range is preferable to develop a property that enables future plastic deformation (before the pyrolysis). It can be considered that the organic chain remains in this state.
- the stamping process is performed using the molds (typically, the electrode layer mold M1 and the dielectric layer mold M2) that are preliminarily heated to 80 ° C. or more and 300 ° C. or less. Applying is another preferred embodiment.
- the reason why the preferable temperature of the mold is set to 80 ° C. or more and 300 ° C. or less is as follows. First, when the temperature is lower than 80 ° C., the plastic deformation ability of each precursor layer is lowered due to the temperature of each precursor layer being lowered. In addition, when it exceeds 300 ° C., the plastic deformation ability of each precursor layer is lowered due to excessive progress of the solidification reaction of each precursor layer.
- a mold release process for the surface of each precursor layer that the mold pressing surface is in contact with and / or a mold release process for the mold pressing surface of the mold is performed. It is preferable to perform an embossing process on each precursor layer. By performing such treatment, it is possible to reduce the frictional force between each precursor layer and the mold, and therefore it is possible to perform the stamping process with higher accuracy on each precursor layer.
- the release agent that can be used for the release treatment include surfactants (for example, fluorine surfactants, silicone surfactants, nonionic surfactants, etc.), fluorine-containing diamond-like carbon, and the like. can do.
- the most of the precursor layers (for example, the electrode layer precursor layer) subjected to the stamping process between the stamping step and the main firing step for each precursor layer in each of the above-described embodiments.
- the step of etching the precursor layer as a whole is included under the condition that the precursor layer is removed in the region where the layer thickness is thin. This is because unnecessary regions can be removed more easily than etching after each precursor layer is finally fired. Therefore, it is preferable to perform the whole surface etching before the main baking rather than the whole surface etching after the main baking.

[積層キャパシター100の構造]
図1は、本実施形態の固体電子装置の一例である積層キャパシター100の構造を示す断面模式図である。図1に示すように、本実施形態の積層キャパシター100は、計5層の電極層と計4層の誘電体層とが交互に積層された構造を一部に備えている。また、電極層と誘電体層とが交互に積層されていない部分では、下層側の電極層(例えば、第1段目の電極層20a)と上層側の電極層(例えば、第5段目の電極層20e)とが電気的に接続するように、各電極層が形成されている。また、図1中の縦の一点鎖線は、各層の形成後にダイシングによって分離される箇所を示している。なお、各電極層20a,20b,20c,20d,20eの材料ないし組成、及び各誘電体層30a,30b,30c,30dの材料ないし組成は、後述する本実施形態の積層キャパシター100の製造方法の説明の中で開示される。
図2乃至図12は、製造方法の一過程を示す断面模式図である。なお、図2、図3、図5、及び図7は、説明の便宜のため、図1に示す積層キャパシター100の一部の構造を抜き出して表したものである。また、本出願における温度の表示は、ヒーターの設定温度を表している。
本実施形態では、まず、SiO2/Si基板(すなわち、シリコン基板上に酸化シリコン膜を形成した基板。以下、単に「基板」ともいう)10上に、公知のスピンコーティング法により、ランタン(La)を含む前駆体及びニッケル(Ni)を含む前駆体を溶質とする前駆体溶液(電極層用前駆体溶液という。以下、第1段目乃至第5段目の電極層用前駆体の溶液に対して同じ。)を出発材とする電極層用前駆体層21aを形成する。その後、予備焼成として、約5分間、150℃以上250℃以下に加熱する。なお、この予備焼成は、酸素雰囲気中又は大気中(以下、総称して、「酸素含有雰囲気」ともいう。)で行われる。
まず、図5に示すように、基板10上に、公知のスピンコーティング法により、ビスマス(Bi)を含む前駆体及びニオブ(Nb)を含む前駆体を溶質とする前駆体溶液(第1前駆体溶液という。以下、第1前駆体の溶液に対して同じ。)を出発材とする第1前駆体層31aを形成する。その後、予備焼成として、約5分間、250℃に加熱する。なお、この予備焼成は、酸素含有雰囲気で行われる。また、この予備焼成により、第1前駆体層31a中の溶媒を十分に蒸発させるとともに、将来的な塑性変形を可能にする特性を発現させるために好ましいゲル状態(熱分解前であって有機鎖が残存している状態と考えられる)を形成することができる。前述の観点をより確度高く実現するから言えば、予備焼成温度は、80℃以上250℃以下が好ましい。本実施形態では、最終的に十分な第1酸化物層31の厚み(例えば、約180nm)を得るために、前述のスピンコーティング法による第1前駆体層31aの形成と予備焼成を5回繰り返した。
その後は、これまでに説明した電極層(第1段目の電極層20a)及び積層構造を有する誘電体層30aの製造工程を用いて、電極層及び誘電体層を交互に積層するとともに、型押し加工によるパターニングが行われる。なお、第1目の電極層20a、第1酸化物層31、第2酸化物層32、及び後述する第2段目の電極層20bがそれぞれ一層積み重ねられた構造のみによって、1つの単位としての積層キャパシターが形成されるが、前述の各層をさらに積み重ねることによって本実施形態の複数の単位の積層キャパシター100を形成することもできる。
また、種々の分析の過程において、積層酸化物である誘電体層のうち、第1酸化物層31は、結晶相及びアモルファス相を含んでいることが確認された。より詳細に見れば、第1酸化物層31は、結晶相、微結晶相、及びアモルファス相を含んでいることが分かった。図13は、本実施形態の第1酸化物層31の製造工程と同じ工程を経て作製された第1酸化物を含む積層構造を示す断面TEM(Transmission Electron Microscopy)写真である。図13に示すように、第1酸化物層31中には、少なくとも一部には結晶構造を有する領域が存在することが確認された。より詳細には、第1酸化物層31中には、アモルファス相、微結晶相、及び結晶相が確認された。なお、本出願において、「微結晶相」とは、ある層状の材料が形成されている場合に、その層の膜厚方向の上端から下端に至るまで一様に成長した結晶相ではない結晶相を意味する。また、その後の発明者らによる研究によれば、第1酸化物層31が微結晶を含むアモルファス状であるために、第1酸化物層31が概して高誘電率を備えているが、リーク電流値が積層キャパシターへの適用の許容範囲を超えるとともに、第1酸化物層31の表面の平坦性が低いと考えられる。
本実施形態は、第2酸化物層が異なる点を除いて、第1の実施形態と同様である。したがって、第1の実施形態と重複する説明は省略され得る。
本実施形態も、第2酸化物層が異なる点を除いて、第2の実施形態と同様である。したがって、第1の実施形態と重複する説明は省略され得る。
本実施形態の固体電子装置は、電極層と誘電体層(第1酸化物層と第2酸化物層との積層酸化物)とが、それぞれ一層積み重ねられた構造を備えている点を除き、第1の実施形態と同様である。したがって、第1の実施形態と重複する説明は省略され得る。より具体的には、本実施形態においては、前述の電極層が前述の誘電体層を挟み込んだ、いわば「サンドイッチ構造」が1つだけ形成されている。
図16は、本実施形態の固体電子装置の一例である積層キャパシター200の構造を示す断面模式図である。図16に示すように、本実施形態の積層キャパシター200は、2層の電極層と1層の誘電体層とが交互に積層された構造を一部に備えている。また、電極層と誘電体層とが交互に積層されていない部分では、下層側の電極層(例えば、第1段目の電極層20a)と上層側の電極層(例えば、第2段目の電極層20b)とが電気的に接続するように、各電極層が形成されている。また、各層の形成後にダイシングによって分離される箇所は、第1の実施形態の積層キャパシタ―100と同様に行われる。を示している。
本実施形態の積層キャパシター200の製造方法は、第1の実施形態の積層キャパシタ―100と同様に、図2乃至図10に示す工程によって行われるため、その説明は省略される。
ところで、第1の実施形態及び第2の実施形態に共通することであるが、発明者らの第1酸化物層32の特にBNO層に関する研究と分析によれば、次の興味深い事実が確認された。
図17は、第1酸化物層32のBNO層の結晶構造を示す断面TEM写真及び電子線回析像である。図17(a)は、第1酸化物層32のBNO層の断面TEM写真である。図17(b)は、図17(a)に示したBNO層の断面TEM写真の領域Xにおける電子線回析像である。また、図18は、比較例(スパッタ法)によって形成されたBNO層の結晶構造を示す断面TEM写真及び電子線回析像である。なお、図18(a)は、比較例(スパッタ法)によって形成されたBNO層の結晶構造を示す断面TEM写真である。また、図18(b)は、図18(a)に示したBNO層の断面TEM写真の領域Yにおける電子線回析像である。なお、図17及び図18に示すデータは、電極層の影響を可能な限り小さくする観点から、白金電極層が採用されている。
[測定条件]
Photo energy : 12.4keV
Multi-axis diffractometer, under He flow
out-of-plane
Incidence angle : from 0.1 to 0.7deg.(mostly from 0.1 to 0.3deg.)
図20は、第1酸化物層32のBNO層の平面視における各結晶相の、(a)TOPO像(走査型プローブ顕微鏡(高感度SNDMモード))及び(b)容量変化像である。また、図21は、比較例(スパッタ法)によって形成されたBNO層の平面視における各結晶相の、(a)TOPO像及び(b)容量変化像である。さらに、図22は、比較例(スパッタ法)によって形成されたBNO層(a)と、第1酸化物層32のBNO層(b)の、平面視における各結晶相による、各容量変化像からの校正後の比誘電率の分布を示す比誘電率像である。
ところで、上述のとおり、第1酸化物層31が微結晶を含むアモルファス状であるために、第1酸化物層31が概して高誘電率を備えているが、リーク電流値が積層キャパシターへの適用の許容範囲を超える場合がある。代表的な一例について以下に説明する。図23は、ある1つの条件における第1酸化物層のみのリーク電流値と、第1酸化物層と第2酸化物層(LTO層)との積層酸化物のリーク電流値とを比較したグラフである。具体的には、白金(Pt)電極図で挟み込んだ第1酸化物層のみ、及び白金(Pt)電極で挟み込んだ第1酸化物層と第2酸化物層(LTO層)との積層酸化物について、電界強度の変化によるリーク電流値の変化を調べた。図23に示すように、電界強度の大小を問わず、第1酸化物層のみの方が、第1酸化物層と第2酸化物層(LTO層)との積層酸化物よりもリーク電流値が大きくなっていることが分かった。加えて、リーク電流値の差は、電界強度が大きくなれば広がる傾向にあることも明らかとなった。従って、上述の各実施形態が開示する第1酸化物層と第2酸化物層との積層酸化物は、リーク電流値を低減するための非常に有効な例であることが分かる。
