ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for forming a single-phase c-axis PGO film overlying a Pt metal electrode. Although the method is summarized in the context of a Pt bottom electrode, it has a broader application to other noble metals. The method comprises: forming a bottom electrode mixture of Pt and Pt3O4; forming a single-phase c-axis PGO thin film overlying the bottom electrode; and, forming a top electrode overlying the PGO thin film. Forming a bottom electrode mixture of a Pt and Pt3O4includes: forming a Pt first layer; and, forming a second layer, interposed between the first layer and the PGO thin film, of fully oxidized Pt3O4. In other aspects, forming a bottom electrode mixture of Pt and Pt3O4includes forming a polycrystalline mixture of Pt and Pt3O4. A c-axis PGO film capacitor is also provided. Again, a Pt bottom electrode is described, along with other noble metal bottom electrodes.
