Method of depositing a platinum film for capacitor electrode

摘要

A platinum film, which is used as a bottom electrode for a capacitor in a DRAM cell or a non-volatile ferroelectric memory cell, is formed in two separate processes, wherein a first thickness platinum part thereof is deposited under an inert gas atmosphere, and the second thickness platinum part is deposited under an atmosphere containing oxygen, nitrogen and/or a mixture thereof as well as an inert gas. The platinum film is annealed under a vacuum atmosphere to remove the oxygen an/or nitrogen introduced during the deposition of the second thickness platinum part. The annealed platinum film prevents formation of an oxide on a functional intermediate film such as a diffusion barrier layer or an adhesion layer, which is provided below the bottom electrode of platinum film. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
