<p>A ferroelectric transistor gate structure with a ferroelectric gate and passivation sidewalls is provided. The passivation sidewalls serve as an insulator to reduce, or eliminate, the diffusion of oxygen or hydrogen into the ferroelectric gate. A method of forming the ferroelectric gate structure is also provided. The method comprises the steps of forming a sacrificial gate structure, removing the sacrificial gate structure, depositing passivation insulator material, etching the passivation insulator material using anisotropic plasma etching to form passivation sidewalls, depositing a ferroelectric material, polishing the ferroelectric material using CMP, and forming a top electrode overlying the ferroelectric material. <IMAGE></p> |
