Abstract

A ferroelectric capacitor for a memory device including a substrate, a bottom electrode and a top electrode. Between the bottom and top electrodes is either an alternating plurality of layers of ferroelectric material and intermediate electrodes or a plurality of layers of ferroelectric material. A method for forming the same through establishing one layer over the other is also disclosed.
