ABSTRACT:
The invention includes capacitor constructions which have a layer of aluminum oxide between a high-k dielectric material and a layer containing titanium and nitrogen. The layer containing titanium and nitrogen can be, for example, titanium nitride and/or boron-doped titanium nitride. The capacitor constructions can be incorporated into DRAM cells, which in turn can be incorporated into electronic systems. The invention also includes methods of forming capacitor constructions.
