摘要: Abstract Thermally and chemically stable electrode films are required for capacitor electrodes of semiconductor memories, such as dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) ferroelectric (FeRAMs). In this study, iridium–tungsten (Ir–W) alloy thin were prepared on SiO 2 /Si substrates by RF magnetron sputtering, the effects thermal treatment in oxygen atmosphere structural electrical properties studied. The surface as-deposited Ir–W was very smooth showed low resistivities below 120 μΩ cm. resistances morphology (approximately 20 at.%) remained after up to 600 °C oxygen, which indicates high stability films.
