Abstract:
A capacitor includes an upper electrode formed by physical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition. The upper electrode of the capacitor may include a first upper electrode formed by chemical vapor deposition and a second upper electrode formed by physical vapor deposition. Alternatively, the upper electrode may include a first upper electrode formed by physical vapor deposition and a second upper electrode formed by chemical vapor deposition. The upper electrode of the capacitor is formed through two steps using chemical vapor deposition and physical vapor deposition. Therefore, the upper electrode can be thick and rapidly formed, whereby electrical characteristics of the upper electrode are not deteriorated.

PURPOSE: A method for simplifying the process for forming a dielectric layer and fabricating a capacitor of a semiconductor device is provided to simplify the fabricating process and maintain the same electrical characteristic as a conventional process by depositing a dielectric layer while using only a source gas and by performing a curing process only once.

The first dielectric layer is cured in an oxygen-containing atmosphere(S30). The second dielectric layer is formed on the cured first dielectric layer by using only source gas without using reaction gas(S40). The second electrode is formed on the second dielectric layer without a curing process performed on the second dielectric layer(S50).

Abstract:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor integrated circuit device is provided to prevent moisture or external ions from penetrating the inside of a first interlayer dielectric by forming a contact in the first interlayer dielectric covering NMOS and PMOS transistors and by dehydrogenating the first interlayer dielectric. An NMOS transistor(100) is formed on a semiconductor substrate(10). A first interlayer dielectric(320) with predetermined stress is formed on the NMOS transistor. A contact(328) connected to the NMOS transistor is formed in the first interlayer dielectric. The first interlayer dielectric is dehydrogenated to vary the stress. A capping layer is formed on the first interlayer dielectric by an in-situ method to prevent moisture or external ions from penetrating the first interlayer dielectric.
