The cause of the deterioration of the ferroelectric film in the ferroelectric memory device is
For example, in the case of an oxide-based ferroelectric material, it is thought that the reduction reaction is mainly due to the application of an electric field, that is, the elimination of oxygen. In order to prevent the release of oxygen, it is first necessary to form an appropriate protective film, and if possible, it is another method to use a protective film that contains an excess gas component such as oxygen. .

In addition, the material of the electrode film formed on the ferroelectric film is also closely related to the release of gas components such as oxygen, and if a metal film that is easily oxidized such as A1 is used for the electrode film, A1 will be removed from the ferroelectric film.
This means that oxygen is released, and a high melting point metal or the like has a preferable effect in order to prevent the release of gas components such as oxygen.

By using the silicide film or nitride film, there is almost no deterioration in the storage voltage even if a voltage is applied to the ferroelectric film and memory is written and erased more than 1015 times.10+
The number of times of writing and erasing, called s times, means that when operating with IMH2, for example, it can be operated continuously for about 25 years, so the ferroelectric memory device is not only used for temporary memory retention, but also Continuous, non-volatile random
It is also possible to use it as an access memory.

Furthermore, even if a phosphorous glass film is formed as a protective film on the surface of the barium titanate ferroelectric film, P2O5 in the phosphorous glass film becomes an oxygen supply source, and prevents oxygen from leaving the ferroelectric film during operation. It serves as an oxygen supply source and has the same effect as the fluoride film example. In the case of the fluoride film in the previous example, fluorine has the effect of filling and replacing the loss of oxygen, and in the case of a ferroelectric film made of fluoride, the loss of fluorine in the ferroelectric film tfs is absorbed by the surface fluoride film. The fluorine has a replenishing effect.

Taking a barium titanate ferroelectric film as an example, a similar effect can be obtained by using an oxide film of Ti, which is a compositional component of barium titanate, as a protective film.
Not only barium titanate but also other ferroelectric films such as PZT (K-Zn-Ti oxide) may be used, as is the case with the examples given before this example. In addition, a protective film such as a zinc oxide film may be formed, or an insulating film among the nitride and fluoride films, as well as the oxide film of the compositional components, may be used as the protective film. good. or,

Furthermore, when the ferroelectric film is a nitride film, a protective film made of a 5tsN4 film is more effective.
