ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor processing method of forming a capacitor on a substrate includes, a) providing an oxidizable and electrically conductive inner capacitor plate on the substrate; b) cleaning the inner capacitor plate to remove oxide therefrom; c) within a chemical vapor deposition reactor, chemical vapor depositing a dielectric nitride layer over the cleaned inner capacitor plate to a first thickness, the substrate not being exposed to oxidizing conditions between the cleaning and chemical vapor depositing steps; d) providing a densified Ta.sub.2 O.sub.5 dielectric layer over the dielectric nitride layer; and e) providing an outer capacitor plate over the Ta.sub.2 O.sub.5 layer. Additionally, a method of forming a capacitor on a substrate includes, i) providing an oxidizable and electrically conductive inner capacitor plate on a substrate; ii) providing a densified Ta.sub.2 O.sub.5 dielectric layer over the inner capacitor plate; iii) within a chemical vapor deposition reactor, chemical vapor depositing a dielectric nitride layer over the Ta.sub.2 O.sub.5 layer to a first thickness; and iv) providing an outer capacitor plate over the Ta.sub.2 O.sub.5 layer, the outer capacitor plate being provided outwardly of the dielectric nitride layer. The invention also includes capacitors produced according the method.
