Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device, comprising:depositing a first conductive layer having a surface and having an ability to associate with oxygen; incorporating an oxygen-free material directly into said surface to passivate the surface of said first conductive layer to reduce the ability of the first conductive layer to associate with oxygen, the oxygen-free material being methylsilane; depositing a second conductive layer on said surface after incorporating the oxygen-free material into the surface; exposing said second conductive layer to a thermal process; and wherein said step of depositing a first conductive layer comprises depositing a capacitor plate; and wherein said method further comprises depositing an insulator over said second conductive layer; and said step of exposing said second conductive layer to a thermal process comprises flowing said insulator.
