The memory-storage node of the present invention includes a semiconductor substrate, a first insulating layer over the substrate, a conductive layer formed within the first insulating layer, and a barrier layer formed over the conductive layer. The barrier layer, preferably contains a ruthenium-based material, is conductively coupled with the conductive layer. The memory-storage node further includes a first electrode over the barrier layer, a dielectric layer over the first electrode, and a second electrode over the dielectric layer. The method for fabricating the memory storage-node of the present invention provides a semiconductor substrate and forms a first insulating layer on the substrate. A first opening is formed in the first insulating layer and a conductive layer is provided in the first opening. A barrier layer is then formed in the first opening and over the conductive layer. The barrier layer, preferably contains a ruthenium-based material, is conductively coupled with the conductive layer. A second insulating layer is formed over the first insulating layer and the barrier layer. A second opening is formed in the second insulating layer to expose a portion of the underlying barrier layer. A first electrode is formed in the second opening and a dielectric layer is formed on the second insulating layer and the first electrode. Finally, a second electrode is formed over the dielectric layer.
