A ferroelectric capacitor over bit-line (F-COB) cell for high density nonvolatile ferroelectric memories

Abstract

A ferroelectric capacitor over bit-line (F-COB) cell is proposed for high density nonvolatile ferroelectric memories (NVFRAMs). This memory cell with 0.7 /spl mu/m design rule was successfully fabricated using a newly-developed fabrication process, combining CMP and MOCVD techniques. Good ferroelectric properties of storage capacitor, having a remanent polarization of 15 /spl mu/C/cm/sup 2/ and leakage current density of 10/sup -6/ A/cm/sup 2/, have been realized without degradation in CMOS characteristics.
