摘要
Ferroelectric random access memories (FeRAMs) are new types of memories especially suitable for mobile applications due to their unique properties like nonvolatility, small DRAM-like cell size, fast read and write as well as low voltage/low power behavior. Although standard CMOS processes can be used for frontend and backend/metallization processes, FeRAM technology development has to overcome major challenges due to new materials used for capacitor formation. In this paper, advantages and disadvantages of different ferroelectric materials and major development issues for high density applications are discussed. Results of a 0.5 mum ferroelectric process using SrBi2Ta2O9 as ferroelectric layer, Pt as electrode material as well as two-layer tungsten/aluminum metallization are given as an example. Integration and reliability issues are reviewed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
