Abstract

A ferroelectric capacitor taking a multilayer structure wherein a conductive oxide layer which is formed between a metal electrode and a ferroelectric layer, capable of enhancing the fatigue behavior in addition to reducing the leakage current. The multilayer structure can be fabricated by depositing a silicon oxide (SiO.sub.2) layer, an adhesive layer, a bottom metal layer, a lower conductive oxide layer, a ferroelectric layer, an upper conductive oxide layer and a top metal electrode layer are deposited over a silicon substrate, in sequence.
