Abstract

Ferroelectric capacitors ( 42 ) are formed over a semiconductor substrate ( 10 ), then, a barrier film ( 46 ) directly covering the ferroelectric capacitors ( 42 ) is formed. Thereafter, wirings ( 56 a etc.) connected to the ferroelectric capacitors ( 42 ) are formed. Further, a barrier film ( 58 ) is formed at a position higher than the wirings ( 56 a etc.). In forming the barrier film ( 46 ), a film stack is formed, the film stack including at least two kinds of diffusion preventive films ( 46 a and 46 b ) having different components and preventing diffusion of hydrogen or water.

Claims (16)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

a ferroelectric capacitor formed over a semiconductor substrate;

a first barrier film covering the ferroelectric capacitor;

a second barrier film formed over the ferroelectric capacitor;

a wiring connected to the ferroelectric capacitor;

a third barrier film formed at a position higher than the wiring,

a second wiring formed over the wiring and the third barrier film and connected with the wiring; and

a fourth barrier film formed at a position higher than the second wiring,

wherein the first barrier film is a film stack whose lower layer is one kind of film selected from a group consisting of an aluminum oxide film, an aluminum nitride film, and an aluminum oxynitride film, and whose upper layer is one kind of film selected from a group consisting of a titanium oxide film, a tantalum oxide film, a zirconium oxide film, and a tantalum nitride film,

wherein the second barrier film is a film stack whose lower layer is one kind of film selected from a group consisting of an aluminum oxide film, an aluminum nitride film, and an aluminum oxynitride film, and whose upper layer is one kind of film selected from a group consisting of a titanium oxide film, a tantalum oxide film, a zirconium oxide film, and a tantalum nitride film,

wherein the third barrier film is a film stack whose lower layer is one kind of film selected from a group consisting of an aluminum oxide film, an aluminum nitride film, and an aluminum oxynitride film, and whose upper layer is one kind of film selected from a group consisting of a titanium oxide film, a tantalum oxide film, a zirconium oxide film, and a tantalum nitride film,

wherein the fourth barrier film is a film stack whose lower layer is one kind of film selected from a group consisting of an aluminum oxide film, an aluminum nitride film, and an aluminum oxynitride film, and whose upper layer is one kind of film selected from a group consisting of a titanium oxide film, a tantalum oxide film, a zirconium oxide film, and a tantalum nitride film.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the third barrier film is the film stack directly covering the wiring.

3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the wiring contains copper and has a damascene structure.

4. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising an insulating film formed between the wiring and the third barrier film and having a planarized surface,

wherein at least the barrier film is the film stack formed on the insulating film.
