Abstract

For the first time, a novel robust (square-shape cylinder type) TiN/AHO (Al 2O3-HfO2) /TiN capacitor with Co-silicide on landing cell pad suitable for both stand-alone and embedded DRAMs are successfully developed with 88nm (pitch 176nm) feature size, which is the smallest feature size ever reported in DRAM technology, using ArF lithography for aiming 70nm stand-alone and embedded DRAM technology. The capacitor with Toxeq of 1.5nm and leakage current of less than 1fA/cell is achieved. The cell contact resistance is greatly improved by using Co-silicidation on landing cell pad and metal storage node contact plug, which results in high performance.
