Abstract

Ion beam sputtered Ru metal films were characterized for use as electrodes on MOCVD (Ba,Sr)TiO3 in high density DRAMs, where Ru is deposited both on the polysilicon plug and on CVD SiO2. A wide process space in temperature and time was explored with the aim of achieving the highest degree of texturing, the lowest amount of silicide formation, and the least degradation of the Ru surface under an oxidizing environment. Ru deposited at 375 °C showed primarily (001) texturing, and its surface was stable after a 600 °C, 30 minute oxidation and a 700 °C, 30 minute vacuum anneal. The final surface roughness was found to be 14 nm rms.
