    Abstract: A ferroelectric capacitor device, such as an FeRAM device is formed by forming a substrate extending in a first plane and comprising a number of layers of material, forming a hard mask layer on the substrate and forming a first layer of a first material on the hard mask layer. The hard mask shape is then defined by etching the hard mask layer. A second layer of the first material is deposited on the etched hard mask layer. The deposited second layer has one or more side surfaces extending substantially perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. The second layer and the number of layers forming the substrate are then etched to shape the ferroelectric capacitor device.

    Abstract: A method of etching a ferroelectric device (100) having a ferroelectric layer (112) between a top and a bottom electrode (114, 108) is disclosed herein. Hardmasks (116, 118) are deposited on the top electrode (114), two or more hardmasks being spaced apart by narrow first regions (115) and spaced apart from other hardmasks by wider second regions (117). The top electrode (114) and ferroelectric layer (112) are then etched to pattern the top electrode (114) thus forming capacitors (102, 104), and the bottom electrode (108) is etched by a process in which the second regions are etched more slowly than the second regions. Those capacitors having a first region between them have a common bottom electrode (108), but in the second regions the bottom electrode is severed. To pattern the bottom electrode (108), a fluorine-based chemistry followed thereafter by a CO-based chemistry are used in a two step etching process.

    Abstract: A method of forming a ferroelectric capacitor, in particular for use in a FeRAM or high-k DRAM application, and a capacitor made by the method. The method comprises forming a first layer which is patterned, for example by a reactive ion etching method. A ferroelectric material is then formed over the patterned first layer. The morphology of the ferroelectric material will be dependent upon the patterning of the first layer. The ferroelectric layer is then patterned, for example using a wet etching or a reactive ion etching method. The etching will depend upon the morphology of the ferroelectric layer. After etching the ferroelectric layer, a conductive layer is provided over the ferroelectric layer to form a first electrode of the capacitor. If the first layer is a conductive layer, this forms the second electrode. If the first layer is a non-conductive layer,. the conductive layer is patterned to form both the first and second electrodes.
