Abstract

During the CMOS process, ferroelectric capacitors show degraded ferroelectric properties due to a process involving hydrogen. When hydrogen diffuses in PZT thin films through noble metal electrodes (such as Pt, Ir), XRD data indicate a change of lattice parameters and XPS spectra exhibit a change in the Pb-O bonding in the crystalline perovskite phase. In particular, the variation of lattice parameter of PZT (Zr/Ti=20/80) depends on the thickness of the top electrodes (Pt). Ti/Ir hybrid structure top electrodes with various ratios of Ti/Ir thickness are evaluated in order to reduce the hydrogen effect
