Abstract

See full text

A disadvantage upon heat treatment in an oxygen atmosphere of a dielectric film formed on a lower electrode of capacitance device of DRAM that oxygen permeating the lower electrode oxidizes a barrier layer to form an oxide layer of high resistance and low dielectric constant is prevented. An Ru silicide layer is formed on the surface of a plug in a through hole formed below a lower electrode for an information storage capacitance device C and an Ru silicon nitride layer is formed further on the surface of the Ru silicide layer. Upon high temperature heat treatment in an oxygen atmosphere conducted in the step of forming a dielectric film on the lower electrode, the Ru silicon nitride layer is oxidized sacrificially into an Ru silicon oxynitride to prevent progress of oxidation in the Ru silicide layer.
