he growing need for the integration of an increasing number
of functions into the new generation of portable devices
contributes to overcrowding of printed circuit boards. In this
context, the miniaturization of discrete components is imperative
to maintain a manageable size of the printed circuit boards. The
capacitors, present in our cell phones today, occupy more than
50% area of all discrete components. There is thus a strong
interest in going towards the densification and the integration
of those components. The success of such integration relies
on the use of both high dielectric permittivity materials and a
suitable stacking architecture. Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) in
decoupling multiple metal-insulator-metal (multi-MIM) stacks is
a good candidate for the new generation of integrated capacitors.
However, capacitor performance is heavily affected both by
the PZT compositions and the quality of the interface with the
electrodes. Therefore, it is important to engineer surface (PZT)
and interface (Pt/Ru/PZT) physical chemistry which does not
degrade the multi-MIM performance. This research has provided
valuable information on the correlation of PZT surface properties
and electrical responses from Pt/Ru/PZT (220 nm)/Pt presented
in Figure 1. Operando HAXPES methodology showed in Figure 2,
made it possible to investigate lead (Pb) excess precursors in PZT
sol-gel solution and post metallization annealing (PMA) impact
on the electrical functioning of Pt/Ru/PZT/Pt stacks. This work is
a new step towards a complete understanding on the behaviour
of the interface between electrodes and the PZT ferroelectric,
in device-like multi-MIM or 3D-MIM heterostructures, in terms
of electronic properties, capacitance density, loss tangent and
breakdown field (reliability).
