ABSTRACT:
A ferroelectric capacitor structure is designed for fabrication together with MOS devices on a semiconductor substrate. The ferroelectric capacitor includes a diffusion barrier above the surface of the substrate for preventing the materials of the ferroelectric capacitor from contaminating the substrate or MOS devices. The ferroelectric capacitor comprises a bottom electrode, a thin film ferroelectric layer and a top electrode. An interlayer dielectric is formed to cover portions of the ferroelectric thin film and provide an opening therethrough for the top electrode. A ferroelectric memory cell comprises a field effect transistor together with a ferroelectric capacitor fabricated on a semiconductor substrate. In one configuration, the ferroelectric capacitor is offset from the field effect transistor, while in another configuration, the ferroelectric capacitor is substantially above the field effect transistor to provide greater density.
