摘要: A reliable Ir diffusion barrier was prepared on polysilicon plugged substrate with a contact size of 0.6 μm. Using Ti adhesion layer and stress-relief process, it possible to integrate the into high density 4 Mb ferroelectric random access memory device. After heat treating sol-gel derived Pb(Zr1−xTix)O3 (PZT) films at 700 °C, displayed an ohmic behavior showed low resistance 130 Ω per in 1k serial array. The PZT Pt/IrO2/Ir poly-plugged exhibited excellent properties such as remnant polarization coercive voltage 25 μC/cm2 1.15 V, respectively. Auger depth profile transmission electron microscopy analyses confirmed that no appreciable oxidation formed between plug.
